DataDogOfficial·6 Agent Skills Included

lading

Deterministic load generation and benchmark-driven Rust code optimization

Generates repeatable synthetic load across many protocols to measure the performance of long-running programs. Finds, benchmarks, reviews, and submits Rust optimization patches with strict statistical proof requirements. Eliminates guesswork by requiring baseline benchmarks, property tests, and unanimous multi-persona review before any change ships.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema

How to install lading?▼

Run `npx skills add DataDog/lading --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all skills in this suite globally.

What is lading used for?▼

Lading measures the performance of long-running programs by pushing repeatable synthetic load into them across protocols like HTTP, syslog, DogStatsD, and OpenTelemetry.

How do the optimization skills work?▼

They find hot-path allocation patterns, capture baseline benchmarks, apply one focused change, then require a 5-persona review with measured improvements before approval.

Does lading work with Claude Code?▼

Yes. All skills follow the universal SKILL.md standard and run in Claude Code, Cursor, and other compatible coding environments.

Do I need benchmarking experience to use these skills?▼

No. The skills handle benchmark setup, statistical thresholds, and validation automatically, and the preflight check verifies your environment first.
