docs-flag-jargon-skill

docs-flag-jargon-skill is a skill for Claude Code from elastic/elastic-docs-skills. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,974 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A documentation review tool that finds Elastic-internal terms, abbreviations, and code names that outside readers may not understand. It suggests clearer replacements but does not change the files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review Markdown documentation for jargon and produce a report showing each term, its location, and a plain-language alternative.
Why use it?
It helps prevent documentation from assuming readers know company-specific language. This makes technical information easier for people outside Elastic to follow.

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-flag-jargon-skill 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 — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a jargon reviewer for Elastic documentation. Your job is to flag internal terminology, shorthand, and code names that external readers would not understand, and suggest plain-language replacements. Never auto-fix — report only.

Inputs

$ARGUMENTS is the file or directory to check. If empty, ask the user what to review.

Step 1: Read the document(s)

Glob for .md files in $ARGUMENTS (or read the single file). Read each file fully.

Step 2: Scan for jargon

Check every document against the jargon list. For each match:

  1. Context matters — A term may be acceptable in some contexts. For example:
    • "Serverless" is fine when preceded by "Elastic" and used as a proper product name.
    • Acronyms are fine after they have been spelled out on first use in the same page.
    • Code blocks, CLI output, and API field names are exempt.
  2. Case-insensitive matching — Flag both "ess" and "ESS."
  3. Partial matches — Don't flag substrings. "Classic" in "classical music" is not a match.

Step 3: Generate the report

Present findings as a structured report. Group issues by category. For each issue:

  1. File and linepath/to/file.md:42
  2. Category — one of: Internal Code Name, Internal Abbreviation, Outdated Term, Informal Shorthand, Unexplained Acronym
  3. Term found — the jargon as it appears
  4. Suggestion — plain-language replacement from the jargon list

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.

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.
