What it does

Datadog Query Recipes is an agent skill from langfuse/langfuse. Research Langfuse production telemetry with reusable Datadog queries. Use for tenant or project activity, API usage, queue behavior, spans, logs, metrics, or ad hoc measurements across production regions; pair with debug-issue-with-datadog for root-cause analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 820 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/environments.md` and `references/export-staleness.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM observability and Root cause analysis. It works with Datadog and Langfuse. The repository describes itself as: 🪢 Open source agent evals & observability: Trace, evaluate, and improve LLM applications with one open platform.

When your agent uses it

  • Project activity
  • Ad hoc measurements across production regions
  • Pair with debug-issue-with-datadog for root-cause analysis

Example prompts

  • “/datadog-query-recipes”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify the entity and signal: tenant ID, org ID, project ID, route, queue,
  2. Read only the relevant reference
  3. Start with aggregate queries, grouped by environment, service, route,
  4. Fetch raw spans, logs, or traces only after aggregation identifies the
  5. For tenant-specific HTTP usage, prefer trace correlation over single-span
  6. Report the windows, environments, sites, query links, and any sampling or

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 389f393. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Datadog Query Recipes loads about 824 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 360 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~824
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 360 words (~824 tokens).

“Use this skill for Langfuse production telemetry research where the main work is finding the right Datadog data path. Keep findings evidence-based and include the exact Datadog links or query shapes that support the answer.”
