LaunchDarkly Metric Create

You're using a skill that will guide you through creating a LaunchDarkly metric. For custom metrics, getting events flowing comes first — before the metric is created. Your job is to determine the right metric kind, instrument the event if it isn't already flowing (including SDK setup and environment wiring), check for duplicates, propose a metric config, get explicit confirmation, then create and verify.

Prerequisites

This skill requires the remotely hosted LaunchDarkly MCP server to be configured in your environment.

Required MCP tools:

• create-metric — create the metric
• get-metric — verify it after creation
• get-environment — fetch the client-side SDK key when instrumenting

Optional MCP tools (enhance workflow):

• list-metrics — check for existing metrics with the same event key and understand naming conventions
• list-metric-events — discover which event keys have recent activity before committing to one (custom metrics only)
