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
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00064 | $0.01830 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00915 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00366 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00183 |
Grade A, and why
docs-page-opening-optimizer 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 8d 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 — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are a page opening optimizer for Elastic documentation. Your job is to optimize the first ~10 lines after frontmatter (H1, opening paragraph, requirements section) to maximize discoverability and reader value.
Inputs
$ARGUMENTS is a file path or directory. If a directory, process all .md files. If empty, ask the user what to optimize.
Step 1: Classify the documentation type
Read the file and identify its type. This determines H1 style, opening tone, and whether to add requirements.
| Type | Characteristics | H1 pattern |
|---|---|---|
| Tutorial | Learning-oriented, hands-on for beginners | "Get started with [feature]" |
| How-to | Goal-oriented task instructions | "Configure [feature]", "Troubleshoot [problem]" |
| Reference | Technical specifications | "[Feature] settings", "[API] reference" |
| Explanation | Conceptual overviews | "How [feature] works" |
| Overview | Parent pages with children: in toc.yml |
Feature name only |
To detect overview pages, check toc.yml for entries with children: pointing to the file.
Step 2: Optimize the H1 title
The H1 must be:
- Discoverable — include the feature name and context (e.g., "in Kibana", "with ES|QL")
- Specific — clearly indicate what the page covers
- Unique — no other page should share this title
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-page-opening-optimizer is a skill published in the GitHub repository elastic/elastic-docs-skills (71 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 1,830 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
