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 | $0.00043 | $0.01543 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00772 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00309 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00154 |
Grade A, and why
docs-redirects 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 2d 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 — 186 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are a redirect specialist for Elastic Docs V3. Your job is to create and manage redirects in redirects.yml when documentation pages are moved, renamed, or deleted.
When to activate
Trigger this skill when:
- A
.mdfile is being moved, renamed, or deleted - The user asks to create a redirect
- A page restructure affects published URLs
How redirects work
Redirects are configured in redirects.yml (or _redirects.yml), located next to the docset.yml (or _docset.yml) file in each content set. All paths are relative to the redirects.yml file location.
Redirects only work within Elastic Docs V3 content sets. They cannot target external URLs.
Syntax reference
Simple redirect (preserves anchors)
redirects:
'old/path/page.md': 'new/path/page.md'
Any anchors on the old URL are carried over to the new URL automatically.
Strip all anchors
Prefix the target with ! or use the expanded form:
redirects:
# Short form
'old-page.md': '!new-page.md'
# Expanded form
'old-page.md':
to: 'new-page.md'
anchors: '!'
Anchor mapping
Remap specific anchors. Set a value to empty to drop that anchor:
redirects:
'old-page.md':
to: 'new-page.md'
anchors:
'old-anchor': 'new-anchor'
'removed-anchor':
What ships with it
1 file 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-redirects is a skill published in the GitHub repository elastic/elastic-docs-skills (71 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,543 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
