What it does

Integrations Lifecycle is an agent skill from netdata/netdata. Change or review the Netdata integrations pipeline, collector artifact consistency, metadata validation, generated docs/catalogs and source-versus-runtime delivery. Covers ibm.d and NPM producers, schemas, generators and dormant taxonomy. Metadata field prose uses collectors-metadata-yaml.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 19 other files (for example `consistency.md`, `description-authoring.md` and `gotchas.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud. It works with npm. The repository describes itself as: The fastest path to AI-powered full stack observability, even for lean teams. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • DevOps & Cloud work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/integrations-lifecycle”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2c378f0. 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

Integrations Lifecycle loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 549 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

description
Change or review the Netdata integrations pipeline, collector artifact consistency, metadata validation, generated docs/catalogs and source-versus-runtime delivery. Covers ibm.d and NPM producers, schemas, generators and dormant taxonomy. Metadata field prose uses collectors-metadata-yaml.

integrations-lifecycle

The pipeline that turns source metadata into the integration pages, the umbrella pages, and the in-app catalog. This skill owns the mechanics and the delivery rules; what a collector metadata.yaml field should say is .agents/skills/collectors-metadata-yaml/, and config_schema.json is .agents/skills/collectors-go-design/config-schema.md.

Apply AGENTS.md#skill-selection. For review, select the affected pipeline or artifact contract below and inspect source plus existing validation evidence. Loading recipes does not require regeneration, dependency installation, commits or publication. Authorized validation uses current inputs and preserves existing outputs through isolation.

Shared delivery facts:

  • metadata.yaml is the input. Hand-authored for most integrations; generated for ibm.d modules (from contexts.yaml, config.go, module.yaml) and for the NPM catalog (from SNMP profiles by integrations/gen_npm_catalog.py). Edit the authoritative source, never a generated file.
  • Every <dir>/integrations/<slug>.md, every README that is a symlink or whose <!--startmeta block carries a message: "DO NOT EDIT..." line (a <!--startmeta block alone is not the marker; hand-authored Learn pages have one too), and the umbrella pages src/collectors/COLLECTORS.md, SECRETS.md, SERVICE-DISCOVERY.md (no banner) are generated. Do not edit them.
  • Source PRs carry sources; generated documentation arrives through the post-merge integrations-regen PR. Validate with gen_integrations.py and the tests during authorized changes; preview pages in isolation using how-tos/preview-collector-page.md (selected collectors or its non-collector route). Preserve existing generated-file edits and keep them out of the source commit. The one place this boundary is written out, with its ibm.d runtime-output exception, is consistency.md.
  • The collector taxonomy (taxonomy.yaml, gen_taxonomy.py) is a dormant early implementation kept for later work; nothing runs it. Do not author, extend, or seed taxonomy content (consistency.md, "The dormant collector taxonomy").

Citations in this skill name files and symbols, never line numbers; open the file and search for the symbol.

Live how-to rule

Capture timing and authorization follow AGENTS.md#knowledge-capture. Pipeline recipes live in how-tos/ and are listed in ./how-tos/INDEX.md; prefer updating an existing guide when it already covers most of the question.

Path discipline

.agents/sensitive-data-discipline.md applies: repository files repo-relative, sibling Netdata-org repositories as ${NETDATA_REPOS_DIR}/<repo>/..., no workstation paths.

  • collectors-authoring: read first when authoring a brand-new collector; this skill covers the integration side.
  • collectors-metadata-yaml: the words on the page, field by field.
  • collectors-go-design/config-schema.md: the DynCfg form.
  • docs-learn-site-structure: how the generated pages reach learn.netdata.cloud (docs/.map/map.yaml, ingest, redirects).
  • collectors-prometheus-profiles: the profile side of the Prometheus catalog.
