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

cloud-create-project 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/create-project.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 378 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Serverless Project

Create Elastic Cloud Serverless projects using the Serverless REST API. Use the cloud-manage-project skill for day-2 operations like listing, updating, or deleting projects.

Prerequisites and permissions

  • Ensure EC_API_KEY is configured. If not, run cloud-setup skill first.
  • Creating projects requires a Cloud API key with Admin or Organization owner role.
  • This skill does not perform a separate role pre-check. Attempt the requested operation and let the API enforce authorization. If the API returns an authorization error (for example, 403 Forbidden), stop and ask the user to verify the provided API key permissions.

Manual setup fallback (when cloud-setup is unavailable)

If this skill is installed standalone and cloud-setup is not available, instruct the user to configure Cloud environment variables manually before running commands. Never ask the user to paste API keys in chat.

Variable Required Description
EC_API_KEY Yes Elastic Cloud API key used for project creation operations.
EC_BASE_URL No Cloud API base URL (default: https://api.elastic-cloud.com).

Note: If EC_API_KEY is missing, or the user does not have a Cloud API key yet, first check whether the user has an Elastic Cloud account. If not, propose starting a free trial at Elastic Cloud free trial — 14 days of full access with no credit card required. Once registered, direct the user to generate a key at Elastic Cloud API keys, then configure it locally using the steps below.

Preferred method (agent-friendly): create a .env file in the project root:

EC_API_KEY=your-api-key
EC_BASE_URL=https://api.elastic-cloud.com

All cloud/* scripts auto-load .env from the working directory.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
