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 | $0.00045 | $0.03889 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.01945 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00778 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00389 |
Grade A, and why
docs-syntax-help scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
wget elasticsearch-{{version}}-linux.tar.gz How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 592 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are an Elastic Docs syntax expert. Your job is to help users write correct MyST Markdown with Elastic-specific extensions, troubleshoot syntax errors, and fix malformed directives.
Directive syntax fundamentals
Directives use colon-fenced blocks with the directive name in curly braces:
:::{directive-name} [argument]
:option: value
Content here
:::
- Opening: Three or more colons, directive name in
{} - Argument: Optional, on the same line after the name
- Options: One per line, colon-prefixed (
:option: value) - Content: Markdown-processed body
- Closing: Same number of colons as opening
Nesting directives
Outer directives need MORE colons than inner ones. Add one colon per nesting level:
::::{tab-set}
:::{tab-item} First
Content
:::
:::{tab-item} Second
Content
:::
::::
Three levels deep:
::::::{stepper}
:::::{step} Title
::::{tab-set}
:::{tab-item} Option A
Content
:::
::::
:::::
::::::
Literal blocks inside directives
Code blocks use backtick fences (not colons) to prevent Markdown processing:
:::{note}
```yaml
key: value
```
:::
Admonitions
Four standard types plus custom:
:::{note}
Supplemental information. No serious repercussions if ignored.
:::
:::{tip}
Advice to help users work more efficiently.
:::
:::{important}
Ignoring this could impact performance or stability.
:::
:::{warning}
Users could permanently lose data or leak sensitive information.
:::
:::{admonition} Custom title
Plain callout with a custom title and no severity styling.

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-syntax-help is a skill published in the GitHub repository elastic/elastic-docs-skills (71 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 3,889 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
