Prerequisites
See Setup Pup for installation and authentication.
Command Execution Policy
Use this order for scoped commands:
- Check context first (conversation, prior outputs, known values).
- Run discovery commands when required values are missing.
- Ask the user only when values remain ambiguous.
- Run the target command after required inputs are known.
- Avoid speculative commands likely to fail.
Quick Reference
| Task | Command |
|------|---------|
| Search error logs | pup logs search --query "status:error" --from 1h |
| List monitors | pup monitors list |
| Schedule monitor downtime | pup downtime create --file downtime.json |
| Find slow traces | pup traces search --query "service:api @duration:>500ms" --from 1h |
| Query metrics | pup metrics query --query "avg:system.cpu.user{*}" |
| Check auth | pup auth status |
| Refresh token | pup auth refresh |
Auth
pup auth login # OAuth2 (recommended)
pup auth status # Check token
pup auth refresh # Refresh expired token
Token Expiry: OAuth tokens expire (~1 hour). Run pup auth refresh if commands fail with 401/403.

Skill converted from mcp-deploy-manage-agents.prompt.md
Use this skill when the user wants to launch a new AltClaw, OpenClaw, PicoClaw, or Ottie deployment through Cloud Claw. Covers the same user-facing fields and constraints exposed in the Cloud Claw UI, using the local altllm cloud-claw-* commands. Do NOT use for post-launch lifecycle tasks like start/stop/delete/logs; use cloud-claw-manage-vm.
Build hosted agents using Azure AI Projects SDK with ImageBasedHostedAgentDefinition. Use when creating container-based agents in Azure AI Foundry.
Build MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers on Cloudflare Workers with tools, resources, and prompts.
Chain agent outputs as inputs in sequential or parallel pipelines for data flow orchestration
Audit cloned or reimplemented websites for fidelity gaps, tracking scripts, source-brand and language residue, placeholders, and risky external dependencies. Use before handoff or deployment, or when asked to review a website clone for cleanup and readiness.
> Install and operate Hermes Tweet, a Hermes Agent plugin for X/Twitter research, timeline reading, tweet analysis, and approval-gated tweet actions. Use this skill when installing Hermes Tweet, researching X/Twitter accounts, monitoring launch signals, investigating mentions, auditing giveaways, or preparing guarded tweet actions. Use proactively when a Hermes Agent workflow needs current X/Twitter context. Requires XQUIK_API_KEY for read and action tools.
Handles LLM-as-judge evaluation workflows on Arize including creating/updating evaluators, running evaluations on spans or experiments, managing tasks, trigger-run operations, column mapping, and continuous monitoring. Use when the user mentions create evaluator, LLM judge, hallucination, faithfulness, correctness, relevance, run eval, score spans, score experiment, trigger-run, column mapping, continuous monitoring, or improve evaluator prompt.
How to use it
Take datadog-labs/agent-skills from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
The instructions reference npx.
Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
