Use ONLY when the user explicitly asks to create, scaffold, or initialize a new Datadog App project — they must use action words like "create", "scaffold", "new", or "build" together with "Datadog App" or "@datadog/apps" or "npm create @datadog/apps". Do NOT use for any question that does not involve creating a new project from scratch — questions about Datadog observability products (logs, metrics, APM, traces, monitors, dashboards), working inside an existing project, deploying, publishing, auth, or CI/CD.

AI-generated overview

Scaffolds a new Datadog App project when the user explicitly asks to create or initialize one.

What it does
This skill guides the creation of a brand-new Datadog App project from scratch. It routes the scaffolding task to a bundled getting-started reference and then stops, directing all further work to the generated project's own AGENTS.md and docs/agents files. It explicitly excludes observability questions, existing projects, deployment, publishing, auth, and CI/CD.
When to use it
Use it only when the user explicitly asks to create, scaffold, initialize, or build a new Datadog App project, for example with wording like "npm create @datadog/apps". Do not use it for questions about Datadog observability products, work inside an existing project, or deployment, publishing, auth, and CI/CD topics.
Requirements
No scripts; instructions only. It relies on a bundled reference file (references/getting-started.md) and assumes the Datadog Apps scaffolding tooling is available to run the project creation.

Datadog Apps

Use this skill only to scaffold a new Datadog App. It covers nothing else.

Once the app is scaffolded, all further guidance — local development, auth, deploy, publish, CI/CD, backend functions, data access, upgrading, and troubleshooting — lives in the generated project's AGENTS.md and docs/agents/ files.

Boundaries

  • This skill covers scaffolding only. Stop here once the project is created.
  • Do not provide auth, deploy, publish, CI/CD, or app logic guidance from this skill — read the project's AGENTS.md instead.
  • Do not cover Datadog package/platform development in this skill.
