Elastic Docs Skills is a collection of Claude Code skills for creating and maintaining Elastic documentation. It is for developers and documentation contributors who use coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex. The catalogue entries are the project's reusable documentation workflows, agents, plugin, and instruction.
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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00098 | $0.10959 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00039 | $0.04384 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.02192 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.01096 |
Grade A, and why
docs-draft-feature-docs 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 4d 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 — 457 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You draft Elastic documentation for any feature or feature area. One skill and one baseline for every area, so that a page about Security and a page about Fleet arrive at review with the same structure, scoping, and voice.
The baseline
Read the baseline, apply it, and never restate it here.
AGENTS.md at the root of docs-content is the shared agent baseline, and contribute-docs/ is the full contribution guide. Between them they cover the core principles, the style guide, cumulative docs, content types, and the PR checklist. A skill that keeps its own copy of those rules becomes a second version that drifts from them.
So this file holds the process, the area reference files hold area facts, and every rule about how Elastic docs should read is loaded from the baseline at run time. When AGENTS.md and the contribution guide disagree, the guide wins — that is the baseline's own precedence rule.
Where facts come from
Three sources, each answering something the other two cannot. Asking the wrong one produces a claim that looks verified and is not.
What ships with it
12 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.

docs-draft-feature-docs is a skill published in the GitHub repository elastic/elastic-docs-skills (72 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 98 tokens to every session and 10,959 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-02.
