Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.
npx agentmods add instructions/netdata/skills/claude-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/netdata/skillsWhat 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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00853 | $0.00853 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00426 | $0.00426 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00171 | $0.00171 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00085 | $0.00085 |
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 yesterday.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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, writeotel.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.

skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository netdata/skills (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 853 tokens to every session, about $0.0043 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
