datadog-agentic-plugins
A curated library of agentic plugins and skills for Claude that guide prospects and customers through setting up, instrumenting, and validating a Datadog proof of concept across any tech stack.
Each plugin represents a technology domain — an infrastructure platform, a programming language, a database engine, or a message queue. Each skill within a plugin is a focused, version-aware procedure that Claude can execute: provisioning a cluster, installing the Datadog Agent, instrumenting a Spring Boot app, enabling Database Monitoring, or validating that telemetry is flowing.
Prospects pick the plugins that match their stack. Claude reads the relevant skills, adapts to their specific versions, and walks them through setup step by step — from zero to traces, metrics, and logs in Datadog. Disclaimer: this marketplace is not endorsed by Datadog - the plugins are unofficial.

Architecture Overview

A plugin represents a technology domain. It groups related skills and declares dependencies on other plugins. The .claude-plugin/plugin.json manifest is required for Claude Code to discover and load the plugin. The PLUGIN.md file is a supplementary convention specific to this marketplace — it provides category, dependency, and version information that Claude reads and interprets.
