What it does
Kbn GitHub is an agent skill from elastic/kibana, published by the product's own GitHub organization. GitHub interactions via gh CLI for the Kibana repo. Use when performing any GitHub interaction — creating, viewing, or modifying PRs or issues, posting comments or reviews, checking CI status, applying labels, creating releases, or making any gh/API call.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/review.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Pull requests. It works with GitHub and Elasticsearch. The repository describes itself as: Your window into all of your data.
When your agent uses it
- Performing any GitHub interaction — creating
- Posting comments
- Checking CI status
- Applying labels
Example prompts
- “/kbn-github”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Create child issues first with full descriptions.
- Get GraphQL IDs
- Link
- Verify: gh api repos/elastic/kibana/issues/NUM/sub_issues
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ee7c86b. 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:
gh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, 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
Kbn GitHub loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 615 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 615 words (~1,303 tokens).
“See references/review.md for inline, file-level, threaded reply, and PR-level comment examples.”
