Deep reference for the Kibana Functional Test Runner (FTR). An agent skill from elastic/kibana.

  • Reviewing FTR tests
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Architecture, Core services and Page objects, plus 6 more sections
  • Calls node
  • Including config anatomy

What it does

Ftr Testing is an agent skill from elastic/kibana, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Deep reference for the Kibana Functional Test Runner (FTR). Use when reading, analyzing, debugging, or reviewing FTR tests, including config anatomy, services, page objects, loadTestFile patterns, data loading, tags, CI wiring, and common FTR idioms.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. It works with Elasticsearch. The repository describes itself as: Your window into all of your data.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing FTR tests
  • Including config anatomy
  • LoadTestFile patterns
  • Common FTR idioms

Example prompts

  • “/ftr-testing”

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 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

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Ftr Testing loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 882 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k

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 882 words (~3,350 tokens).

“FTR (Functional Test Runner) is Kibana's legacy framework for end-to-end functional tests. Tests are mocha-based (describe/it) using @kbn/expect, driven by config files that wire up Kibana + Elasticsearch servers, services, page objects, and security roles. Understanding FTR deeply is essential…”
