dt-dql-essentials
Core DQL syntax, pitfalls, query patterns, and query optimization. Load to write, build, fix, or OPTIMIZE a DQL query — prevents syntax errors and makes queries faster, more efficient, and cheaper (less data scanned = lower query consumption/cost per run). Covers fetch commands, data models, field namespaces, time alignment, entity/smartscape patterns, metric discovery, and performance/cost optimization (filter early, bucket filters, short time ranges, field selection, sampling, cardinality). Trigger: "write/build/fix a DQL query", "DQL syntax", "query logs/spans/metrics", "create a timeseries", "optimize my DQL", "make my query faster/cheaper", "reduce DQL cost/consumption/scanned data", "keep DQL cost under control". Do NOT use to explain an existing query or answer product questions. For MONITORING a tenant's ACTUAL query consumption/billing (how much queries cost, who scanned most, cost trends) use dt-platform-costs — this tunes the query text, not billing data.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai:dt-dql-essentials" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai /tmp/dynatrace-for-ai && ln -s /tmp/dynatrace-for-ai/skills/dt-dql-essentials ~/.claude/skills/dt-dql-essentialsFrom README
DQL Essentials Skill DQL is a pipeline-based query language. Queries chain commands with | to filter, transform, and aggregate data. DQL has unique syntax that differs from SQL — load this skill before writing any DQL query.
