onboarding-summary

onboarding-summary is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from datadog-labs/agent-skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,013 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A completion report for Datadog APM setup with Single Step Instrumentation (SSI), which adds application tracing on Kubernetes without code changes. It confirms the setup works end to end and links to the relevant Datadog pages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to confirm that SSI is working, application traces are reaching Datadog, and the service is configured correctly.
Why use it?
It gives a clear status after setup and verification are complete, so you do not have to inspect several checks manually. It is not intended to run while problems remain.

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

onboarding-summary 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

APM Onboarding Summary

Triggers

Invoke this skill when:

  • All steps in verify-ssi have passed
  • All checks in troubleshoot-ssi have been resolved
  • The user asks "is everything working?", "show me the status", or "confirm APM is set up"

Do NOT invoke this skill if any verification or troubleshooting check is still failing — resolve those first.


Context to resolve before acting

Variable How to resolve
AGENT_NAMESPACE Namespace where Datadog Agent is installed
APP_NAMESPACE Namespace of the application
APP_LABEL Check spec.selector.matchLabels.app in the Deployment manifest
CLUSTER_NAME spec.global.clusterName in datadog-agent.yaml
SERVICE_NAME tags.datadoghq.com/service label on the Deployment
ENV tags.datadoghq.com/env label on the Deployment
DD_SITE spec.global.site in datadog-agent.yaml

Prerequisites

Claude runs

pup auth status --site <DD_SITE>

If valid token — proceed.

ERROR: Not authenticated:

Claude runs

pup auth login --site <DD_SITE>

This opens a browser tab for OAuth. Complete the login there — Claude will continue once the command exits.


Collect live confirmation data

Run all of the following. Each populates a row in the final report.

Claude runs

# Agent pod count and status
kubectl get pods -n <AGENT_NAMESPACE> \

# SSI instrumentation config live in cluster

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.
