Elastic Agent Skills is a library of instruction packages that teach AI coding agents how to work with Elastic products, including Elasticsearch, Kibana, Elastic Observability, and Elastic Security. Developers use the skills for tasks such as API work, Kibana content management, observability, and security workflows. The catalogue entries are skills and plugins from this library.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 8 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00068 | $0.02784 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.01392 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00557 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00278 |
Grade A, and why
elasticsearch-cluster-health 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 7d 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 174 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Diagnose Cluster Health
Triage a non-green Elasticsearch cluster read-only: localize the problem, classify the allocation decider, and report the single most likely cause with remediation. Never mutate cluster state — surface findings and let the operator act.
Environment Configuration
This skill executes Elasticsearch operations through the elastic CLI. If the
elastic CLI is not installed, tell the user what it is needed for. Do
not guess credentials, call the HTTP API directly, or attempt other workarounds.
This skill references operations in HTTP-shorthand form (e.g., GET /, GET /_cat/indices, GET /{index}/_mapping,
GET /{index}/_settings/index.mode, POST /_query). The Operations table at the end of this document
maps each shorthand to the equivalent elastic CLI command — always use the CLI rather than calling the HTTP API
directly.
Process
-
Read the overall status. Call
GET /_cluster/health. Thestatusfield is the verdict:green— every primary and replica is assigned. Report healthy and stop.yellow— every primary is assigned but at least one replica is not. Data remains readable; redundancy is degraded. This is not data loss.red— at least one primary is unassigned. Data for that shard is unavailable; treat as urgent.
Also read
unassigned_shards,initializing_shards, andrelocating_shards. The decision: continue only when status is yellow or red. Ifinitializing_shards > 0andunassigned_shards == 0, the cluster is recovering on its own — callGET /_cat/recoveryto confirm progress, wait, and re-checkGET /_cluster/healthbefore escalating.Data needed: cluster-wide
statusand shard counters. -
Localize the problem to one index. Call
GET /_cluster/health?level=indicesand pick the index that drives the cluster-wide status:- Any red index outranks every yellow index.
- Among reds or yellows, prefer the index with the most
unassigned_shards. - A red system index (
.security,.kibana*,.fleet-*) outranks application indices because the rest of the stack depends on it.
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.

elasticsearch-cluster-health is a skill published in the GitHub repository elastic/agent-skills (576 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 2,784 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
