create-integration

create-integration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from elastic/integration-skills. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,653 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for building Elastic integration packages, which collect data from an outside service for use in Elastic. It covers package structure, data streams, and the integration build process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating an integration, adding data streams, answering package-layout questions, and coordinating collection, processing, and system-test work.
Why use it?
It gives a defined workflow for deciding where files belong and moving from an initial scaffold to tested integration code.

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

create-integration 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 3d 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.

When to use

Use this skill when tasks include:

  • creating a new integration package from scratch
  • scaffolding data streams and applying post-scaffold edits
  • understanding package topology, file placement, and manifest patterns
  • running the end-to-end build workflow (scaffold → data collection setup → pipeline → system tests → review)
  • questions about package structure, layout, or manifest.yml shape

IMPORTANT: Loading references

This skill has four reference files. Load the appropriate one(s) based on your task:

When creating a full integration (end-to-end):MUST read references/create-workflow.md fully before starting. This contains the complete orchestration workflow, all phases, subagent delegation instructions, and guardrails.

When adding data streams to an existing package:MUST read references/add-datastream-workflow.md fully before starting. This covers verifying the package, scaffolding streams, and the CEL → pipeline → system-test sequence.

When scaffolding a package or data stream, or applying post-scaffold edits: → Read references/scaffold-commands.md for the scaffold commands, post-scaffold checklist, and common pitfalls.

When reviewing or understanding package topology and file layout: → Read references/package-layout.md for canonical trees, manifest patterns, and review checklists for both integration and input packages.

What to provide when creating an integration

Include any combination of the following:

Input How to provide Examples
Package name free text my_vendor
Product / vendor free text "Acme Firewall appliance"
Data delivery method free text "REST API with pagination", "syslog over TCP/UDP", "S3 bucket"
API / log documentation paste URLs https://docs.acme.com/api/v2
Sample data @-mention files @samples/acme_event.json
Research brief @-mention file @notes/acme-research-brief.md
Constraints free text "CEL input only", "single data stream"

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.
