Trigger an on-demand @kbn/evals Buildkite run by describing what you want in plain English.

  • An on-demand @kbn/evals Buildkite run by describing what you want in plain English
  • SKILL.md covers Prerequisites, Step 0: Parse intent, Step 1: Check bk authentication and Step 2: Resolve suite(s), plus 6 more sections
  • Calls gh and git; needs KIBANA_EIS_CCM_API_KEY

What it does

Evals Run On Demand is an agent skill from elastic/kibana, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Trigger an on-demand @kbn/evals Buildkite run by describing what you want in plain English. Use when asked to run evals, trigger a Buildkite eval build, test a suite against a model, or any phrasing that implies kicking off LLM evaluation. Accepts suite names, model names (EIS or OpenRouter), judge model, branch, and grep filter as natural language.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k 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 AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM evaluation and Model routing and gateways. It works with OpenRouter and Elasticsearch. The repository describes itself as: Your window into all of your data.

When your agent uses it

  • An on-demand @kbn/evals Buildkite run by describing what you want in plain English
  • Asked to run evals
  • Trigger a Buildkite eval build
  • Test a suite against a model

Example prompts

  • “/evals-run-on-demand”

Requirements

  • A credential in KIBANA_EIS_CCM_API_KEY
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read

Workflow steps

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

  1. Parse intent
  2. Check bk authentication
  3. Resolve suite(s)
  4. Resolve branch
  5. Resolve models
  6. Build the command
  7. Confirm
  8. Execute and report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 452e025. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • git

    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):

    • github.com
    • buildkite.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • KIBANA_EIS_CCM_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Evals Run On Demand loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 973 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read

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 973 words (~2,606 tokens).
