What it does

Cypress To Scout Migration is an agent skill from elastic/kibana, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Migrate Kibana Cypress E2E tests (.cy.ts) to Scout (Playwright). Applies to any Kibana plugin or solution. Includes triage gates (duplicate detection, layer analysis, value assessment), Cypress-to-Scout pattern mapping, data cleanup audit, and PR workflow. Use when: (1) migrating a Cypress test to Scout, (2) converting .cy.ts to .spec.ts, (3) planning a Cypress-to-Scout migration batch, (4) rewriting Cypress screens/tasks as Scout page objects, (5) asked "how do I move this Cypress test to Scout/Playwright", (6)…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/cypress-vs-scout-differences.md`, `references/example-migration.md` and `references/flakiness-risk-patterns.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering End-to-end testing. It works with Cypress, Elasticsearch and Playwright. The repository describes itself as: Your window into all of your data.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 30ea56f. 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
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- bash
- node
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- ci-stats.kibana.dev
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

Cypress To Scout Migration loads about 3.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 149 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,891 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~149
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~3.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~13k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 1,891 words (~3,846 tokens).

“Migrate Cypress tests to Scout by first validating each test through triage gates, then rewriting using Scout patterns. Never migrate Cypress tests directly — validate first, then rewrite following Scout best practices.”
