Elastic Open-Sources Agent Skills to Give Coding Agents Platform Expertise

· Updated

Elastic Agent Skills is an open-source (Apache 2.0) library of modular instruction packages that give coding agents curated platform knowledge for Elasticsearch, Kibana, Observability, and Security. Each skill is a self-contained directory with a SKILL.md file that runtimes load dynamically, and v0.1.0 supports Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, and Codex.

AI coding agents routinely hallucinate Elasticsearch syntax — their training data mixes current and deprecated APIs, and ES|QL's pipe-based query language differs enough from SQL that agents write queries that look right but don't parse. Skills replace guessed syntax with curated, version-aware knowledge, cutting the correction cycle developers work through.

Drop skills into your existing agent runtime and it loads the relevant expertise per task — ES|QL queries, Kibana dashboards, Security triage. If you're using Cursor or Claude Code on an Elasticsearch project, run npx skills add elastic/agent-skills to get started.
