CLAUDE.md

skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from netdata/skills. It costs 853 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A repository guide for Netdata Agent Skills, which are reusable instructions that help coding agents handle specific tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides work involving Netdata monitoring, OpenTelemetry data collection, telemetry connections, migrations, and infrastructure troubleshooting.
Why use it?
It tells agents where the relevant instructions are and how contributions should be written, checked, and tested.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

This is netdata/skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on skills itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything skills configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

skills CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CLAUDE.md

This repository hosts Netdata's Agent Skills. If Claude Code or any Anthropic-compatible agent loads this directory, treat the skills/ subtree as the authoritative source of behavior for any Netdata, OpenTelemetry, or infrastructure-troubleshooting task.

Skill index

Tier 1 (foundational):

  • skills/netdata-otel-setup/: enable the Netdata OTLP receiver, write otel.yaml, add metric mappings, TLS.
  • skills/netdata-instrumentation/: add OpenTelemetry SDKs to Node.js, Python, Java, Go, .NET, Ruby, PHP services targeting Netdata.
  • skills/netdata-collector-config/: build OTel Collector pipelines with Netdata as the exporter, using DaemonSet, gateway, or Operator patterns.
  • skills/netdata-mcp-integration/: connect Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Gemini CLI to Netdata via MCP for live telemetry verification and query.
  • skills/netdata-migration/: migrate from Datadog, New Relic, Dynatrace, or Prometheus to Netdata.
  • skills/netdata-alert-migration/: migrate alerting rules from VictoriaMetrics (vmalert), Prometheus, Thanos, or Mimir/Cortex to Netdata health alerts. Stock-first decision, PromQL-to- Netdata translation methodology, the non-translatable constructs, and Alertmanager notification-routing parity. Distinct from netdata-migration, which moves telemetry ingestion rather than alert rules.
  • skills/netdata-config-from-requirements/: produce a ready-to-hand-off config bundle (otel.yaml, Collector pipeline, per-language handoff, verification runbook, open questions) from a customer requirements document. Used when no code access is available.
  • skills/netdata-custom-collector/: collect metrics from a target Netdata does not already monitor. Walks the decision tree from the built-in StatsD server (zero collector code) to writing a collector in any language via the external-plugin line protocol, or the legacy python.d / charts.d frameworks. The pull/local-collection counterpart to the OTLP push skills.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
