Generate Skill

This skill auto-detects when a user wants to set up a new Datadog client infrastructure and triggers the appropriate generation workflow.

Detection Patterns

This skill activates when the user's intent matches:

• "Set up Datadog for [client]"
• "Create new client infrastructure"
• "New client onboarding"
• "Generate Datadog terraform for [client]"
• "POC setup for [client]"
• "Production setup for [client]"
• "Onboard [client] to Datadog"
• "New organization setup"

Behavior

When detected, this skill:

1. Extracts client name from user input

   • Converts to kebab-case (e.g., "Acme Corp" -> "acme-corp")
   • Validates naming conventions

2. Checks for existing setup

   • Looks for ~/datadog_terraform/<client-name>/
   • If exists, asks if user wants to overwrite or continue

3. Initiates generation workflow

   • Invokes /org-generator:generate <client-name>
   • Generates questionnaire at ~/datadog_terraform/<client-name>/questionnaire.md

4. Provides next steps

   • Instructs user to fill out questionnaire
   • Explains how to continue with /org-generator:apply

Example Interactions

New Client Setup

User: "I need to set up Datadog monitoring for Acme Corporation"

Skill Response:

Detected new client setup request for "Acme Corporation"

Client name: acme-corp
Target directory: ~/datadog_terraform/acme-corp/

Generating questionnaire...

Questionnaire created at:
~/datadog_terraform/acme-corp/questionnaire.md

Next steps:
1. Fill out the questionnaire with client requirements
2. Run: /org-generator:apply acme-corp

Existing Client Detected

User: "Set up Datadog for acme-corp"

Skill Response (if exists):

Found existing setup for acme-corp at:
~/datadog_terraform/acme-corp/

Options:
1. Continue with existing setup (run /org-generator:apply acme-corp)
2. Regenerate questionnaire (overwrites existing)
3. View current questionnaire

Naming Convention Validation

Client names must:

• Be lowercase
• Use hyphens for spaces (kebab-case)
• Not contain special characters
• Be between 2-50 characters

Invalid names are automatically corrected:

• "Acme Corp" -> "acme-corp"
• "ACME_CORP" -> "acme-corp"
• "Acme Corp, Inc." -> "acme-corp-inc"

Environment Variable Naming

The skill also reminds users about the environment variable convention:

For client "acme-corp", you'll need these environment variables:
- TF_VAR_acme_corp_api_key
- TF_VAR_acme_corp_app_key

Note: Hyphens become underscores in variable names.
