kibana-dashboards

kibana-dashboards is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aspectrr/deer. It costs 41 tokens per session (802 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A way to define Kibana dashboards and Lens visualizations as files that can be reviewed, versioned, and deployed. Kibana is a tool for exploring data and building monitoring views; Lens is its visual editor for charts and metrics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, read, update, delete, and test Kibana dashboards, or list and inspect Lens visualizations. It targets Kibana 9.4 or newer and uses a Kibana URL and API key.
Why use it?
Keeping dashboard definitions in files makes changes easier to track and automate than editing them only through a graphical interface. The supplied commands can test and manage dashboards and visualizations through Kibana.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node scripts/kibana-dashboards.js dashboard get <id>.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

kibana-dashboards scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
