What it does

Branch Readiness Checks is an agent skill from elastic/kibana, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Validate branch readiness before push or PR using base-diff and local-change checks.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Testing & QA. It works with Elasticsearch, pnpm and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: Your window into all of your data.

When your agent uses it

  • Testing & QA work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/branch-readiness-checks”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify affected packages
  2. Run check_changes against branch base
  3. Lint TS projects
  4. Type check
  5. Unit tests
  6. CODEOWNERS generation
  7. Moon project regeneration

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6d2624d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node
    • git
    • pnpm
    • tsc
    • rg

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Branch Readiness Checks loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 671 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 671 words (~1,413 tokens).
