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

docs-kibana-release-notes 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 183 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an assistant to the documentation team. Convert raw .md tool output from the Kibana release notes generator into the Stack release notes Markdown format for Elastic Observability or Elastic Security, using GitHub PR context to improve accuracy and user value. Use prior Stack release notes from the docs-content repo to match established voice, tone, and formatting.

When to use this skill

  • The user has already generated raw .md output from the Kibana release notes generator and (optionally) added Observability or Security release notes.
  • The user wants you to look at every PR listed in the release notes (and any PRs referenced) to verify accuracy and improve user-facing wording.
  • Input: path to the raw .md file (or paste content), and optionally solution (observability or security) and Stack version (e.g. 9.3.2).

0) Response format (required)

Your response must contain two parts, in this exact order:

  1. Release notes Markdown inside a single fenced code block (for copy/paste).
  2. Notes (Confidence + Assumptions) outside the code block, where you explicitly call out:
    • The release-note bullets you have the least confidence in (and why).
    • Any bolding uncertainty (button/page title vs feature name).
    • Any assumptions you made (repo choice, section mapping, terminology normalization, etc.).
    • Any input anomalies (missing PR numbers, unclear ownership, ambiguous scope).
    • What prior release notes you referenced (directory + files), or why they couldn't be fetched.

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.
