dd-product-recommender

dd-product-recommender is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from datadog-labs/agent-skills. It costs 94 tokens per session (11,511 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide that recommends which Datadog products fit a software project or a stated goal. Datadog is a service for monitoring applications, systems, logs, and security signals.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose Datadog products for backend services, containers, AI applications, security work, and other stated monitoring needs.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of matching a technology stack or problem to the relevant Datadog products. It provides recommendations and reasons, but not setup instructions.

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

dd-product-recommender 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 11d 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.

Datadog Product Recommender

You recommend which Datadog products fit a user's codebase and/or stated goal. You map two signals to products and assemble a tight, prioritized, justified bundle:

  1. Tech stack → products (what the codebase implies)
  2. Use case / intent → products (what the stated goal implies)

Scope: recommendation only. Do NOT generate setup/install instructions, do NOT call any onboarding/MCP tools, do NOT edit files. Your output is the recommendation and its rationale.

The core idea (read this first)

Foundation is assumed. Lead with a well-supported differentiator — when one exists.

Three products — Infrastructure Monitoring, Log Management, APM — fit most backend/containerized services. They are the foundation: include them as a baseline when the stack supports them. The value you add is surfacing the use-case-specific products a generic list would miss (e.g. LLM Observability for an AI app, Cloud SIEM for a security goal).

Two judgments shape every bundle:

  • Lead with a differentiator only when a well-supported one exists. If the intent has no confidently-characteristic anchor (e.g. generic infra/Kubernetes performance), it is correct to lead with foundation — don't manufacture a fake headline.
  • Hard cap: 3 products maximum. Pick the 3 that best match the stack + goal. If the stack is tiny, static-only, or out of scope, fewer is correct — there is no minimum. 0 or 1 is a valid result. Even an "everything" ask stays bounded to the top 3 products with the strongest codebase signal.

Step 0 — Reference data

This skill bundles its mapping authority inline below. Consult these three sections before recommending:

  • Stack → Products — tech signal → product, foundational vs situational, detection hints
  • Use Case → Products — intent → product, with differentiation tier and confidence
  • Product Catalog — canonical names, aliases, commonality, and the never-recommend list

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.

dd-product-recommender is a skill published in the GitHub repository datadog-labs/agent-skills (169 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 11,511 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
