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.

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 | $0.00078 | $0.04693 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.02346 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00939 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00469 |
Grade A, and why
cloud-provisioning 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.
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 — 276 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Cloud Provisioning
Provision and run Elastic Cloud infrastructure through the Cloud API: Serverless projects (create and day-2 operations), traffic filters (network security for those projects), and Elastic Cloud Hosted deployments. For configuring Cloud authentication and managing organization access, use the cloud-onboarding skill.
Environment Configuration
This skill operates the Elastic Cloud control plane through the elastic CLI. If the
elastic CLI is not installed, tell the user what it is needed for. Do
not guess credentials, bypass the CLI to call the HTTP API directly, or attempt other workarounds.
Control-plane operations authenticate against the Elastic Cloud API (organization scope), not a single stack deployment.
The elastic CLI reads this from its active context, which stores an Elastic Cloud API key in the OS keychain. If a
control-plane call fails with an authentication error, the context is missing or lacks a Cloud API key — instruct the
user to add one, and never ask the user to paste an API key into the chat:
"Configure an Elastic Cloud context for the
elasticCLI, then re-run. Generate an Organization-level key at Elastic Cloud API keys and register it without echoing the secret in chat."
This skill references control-plane operations in HTTP-shorthand form with the cloud: prefix (e.g.,
GET cloud:/api/v1/organizations, POST cloud:/api/v1/serverless/projects/elasticsearch). The
Operations table at the end of this document maps each shorthand to the equivalent elastic cloud
command — always use the CLI rather than calling the HTTP API directly. Discover the organization ID from
GET cloud:/api/v1/organizations; do not ask the user for it.
Critical principles
- Never display secrets in chat. Do not echo, log, or repeat passwords or API keys in conversation or agent thinking. Persist credentials into a CLI context (OS keychain) and direct the user there.
- Confirm before creating or destroying. A project's or deployment's region is permanent; deletion is irreversible. Present the configuration and get explicit confirmation before creating, deleting, or resetting credentials.
- Admin credentials are bootstrap-only. The
adminpassword returned on creation or reset exists solely to create a scoped API key. Never use admin credentials for ongoing Elasticsearch operations — mint a scoped key first. - Wait for readiness. A new project or deployment starts
initializing; wait untilinitializedbefore using it. - Two kinds of credentials. The Cloud context (Cloud API key) authorizes control-plane operations here. A project's or deployment's Elasticsearch API key authorizes data-plane operations against its Elasticsearch endpoint — do not confuse the two. See references/credentials-and-context.md.
What ships with it
4 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.
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.

cloud-provisioning is a skill published in the GitHub repository elastic/agent-skills (569 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 4,693 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-03.
