One search for your own team's files and the public ecosystem. See how real projects write their agent instructions, and bring the good ideas home.
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/gh-create-issue/SKILL.md
Create a new GitHub issue (feature request or bug report) by gathering an unstructured description from the user, classifying it, filling out the appropriate Kibana template, interviewing the user to improve any weak sections, and filing the issue via the GitHub CLI.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/gh-enhance-issue/SKILL.md
Fetch a GitHub issue by number or URL and reformat it according to the Kibana bug report or feature request template. Classifies the issue type automatically, then rewrites the body and updates it via the GitHub CLI.
ElasticReads credentialsSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/improve-oas/SKILL.md
Add or improve OpenAPI descriptions, examples, and code samples for a Kibana API area. Use when a plugin or package needs better OAS documentation — missing descriptions on schema fields, missing route summaries, missing examples, or missing code samples.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/kbn-github/SKILL.md
GitHub interactions via gh CLI for the Kibana repo. Use when performing any GitHub interaction — creating, viewing, or modifying PRs or issues, reviewing or evaluating a PR, posting comments or reviews, checking CI status, applying labels, creating releases, or making any gh/API call.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/kbn-ui-package/SKILL.md
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a kbn-ui package", "onboard a component to kbn-ui", "package a Kibana component for external distribution", "add a package to kbn-ui", "set up packaging for a Kibana component", or any mention of distributing a Kibana UI component to Cloud UI or external consumers. Guides the full interactive process: gathers inputs, moves source files, scaffolds the packaging layer, and updates all Kibana imports.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/kibana-api/SKILL.md
Shared utilities for interacting with a local Kibana instance. Provides auto-detection of Kibana URL and auth, and a kibana_curl wrapper.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/kibana-i18n/SKILL.md
Add i18n to Kibana React components and server code using @kbn/i18n and @kbn/i18n-react. Use when internationalizing UI strings, adding FormattedMessage, calling i18n.translate, naming message IDs, or working with Kibana translation files.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/kibana-otel-instrumentation/SKILL.md
Implement and quality-check OpenTelemetry metric instrumentation in Kibana code that uses `@kbn/metrics`. Use whenever the user wants to add, change, or review OTel metrics — including any call to `metrics.getMeter`, `meter.createCounter`/`createUpDownCounter`/`createGauge`/`createHistogram`/`createObservable*`/`addBatchObservableCallback`, edits to `kibana.yml` `telemetry.metrics` config, or questions like "is this metric well-designed?", "what should I name this counter?", or "which instrument type is right here?". Trigger this skill even when the user does not say "OTel" or "OpenTelemetry" but is clearly adding observability to Kibana server code and already knows what they want to measure.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/kibana-privilege-deprecation/SKILL.md
Implement and review Kibana feature privilege deprecations. Use when deprecating features, renaming features, splitting features, consolidating features, moving privilege capabilities, reviewing deprecation PRs, or working with the replacedBy mapping system.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/optimize-bundle-size/SKILL.md
Reduce plugin `page load bundle size` and avoid unnecessary increases in `packages/kbn-rspack-optimizer/limits.yml`. Use when proactively optimizing bundles, investigating CI page-load overages, or reviewing PRs that change bundle limits.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/pr-babysit/SKILL.md
Babysits a Kibana PR until its automated reviewers and CI are satisfied.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/redux-toolkit-best-practices/SKILL.md
Apply and review Redux Toolkit best practices
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/saved-objects-style-review/SKILL.md
Kibana Saved Objects registration and style review guidance. Use when creating, changing, or reviewing Saved Object changes involving savedObjects.registerType, mappings, modelVersions, root mappings, or Saved Objects type definitions.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/scout-api-testing/SKILL.md
Use when creating, updating, debugging, or reviewing Scout API tests in Kibana (apiTest/apiClient/requestAuth/samlAuth/apiServices), including auth choices, response assertions, and API service patterns.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/scout-best-practices-reviewer/SKILL.md
Review Scout UI/API tests (including Scout test migrations) and Scout reuse surfaces (page objects, UI component objects, API services) for best practices, reuse, correct placement, parity, and server config hygiene.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/scout-create-scaffold/SKILL.md
Generate or repair a Scout test scaffold for a Kibana plugin/package (test/scout*/{api,ui} Playwright configs, fixtures, example specs). Use when you need the initial Scout directory structure; prefer `node scripts/scout generate` with flags for non-interactive/LLM execution.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/scout-migrate-from-ftr/SKILL.md
Single entry point for migrating Kibana Functional Test Runner (FTR) tests to Scout. Plans the migration first, asks the user to review the plan, then executes it and runs the new tests. Use when migrating FTR tests to Scout, triaging FTR suites for Scout readiness, deciding UI vs API vs RTL/Jest, mapping FTR services/page objects/hooks to Scout fixtures, or splitting loadTestFile patterns.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/scout-ui-testing/SKILL.md
Use when creating, updating, debugging, or reviewing Scout UI tests in Kibana (Playwright + Scout fixtures), including page objects, browser authentication, parallel UI tests (spaceTest/scoutSpace), a11y checks, and flake control.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/task-manager-registration/SKILL.md
Register and schedule background tasks with the Kibana Task Manager plugin (`@kbn/task-manager-plugin`). Use when adding or modifying a task type via `taskManager.registerTaskDefinitions`, calling `ensureScheduled` / `schedule` / `bulkSchedule`, implementing `createTaskRunner` / `cancel`, picking `timeout` / `cost` / `priority` / `maxAttempts`, defining `paramsSchema` / `stateSchemaByVersion`, or reviewing PRs that touch any of these.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/validate-oas/SKILL.md
Use when you need a quick VALID or NOT VALID result for a scoped Kibana OAS area, and first ensure the generated `oas_docs` inputs are up to date so validation runs against the current environment rather than stale snapshots.
Plain text files in a repository that tell a coding agent how the project works: commands to run, conventions to follow and things to avoid. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, cursor rules and skills are the common kinds.
CLAUDE.md is read by Claude Code. AGENTS.md is an open format that Codex, Cursor and other agents read. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
A folder with a SKILL.md that describes one capability, such as filling PDFs or reviewing code. The agent loads it only when the task calls for it.
Your agents already can, over MCP, limited to the files you're allowed to read. Searching them from this page is coming.
