What it does

Kbn UI Package is an agent skill from elastic/kibana, published by the product's own GitHub organization. This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a kbn-ui package", "onboard a component to kbn-ui", "package a Kibana component for external distribution", "add a package to kbn-ui", "set up packaging for a Kibana component", or any mention of distributing a Kibana UI component to Cloud UI or external consumers. Guides the full interactive process: gathers inputs, moves source files, scaffolds the packaging layer, and updates all Kibana imports.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k 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 Development, covering Project scaffolding. It works with Elasticsearch, npm and React. The repository describes itself as: Your window into all of your data.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to create a kbn-ui package
  • Onboard a component to kbn-ui
  • Package a Kibana component for external distribution
  • Add a package to kbn-ui

Example prompts

  • “create a kbn-ui package”
  • “onboard a component to kbn-ui”
  • “package a Kibana component for external distribution”
  • “/kbn-ui-package”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather Inputs
  2. Analyze Source
  3. Confirm with User
  4. Execute

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:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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 UI Package loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 118 tokens; SKILL.md has 921 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~118
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.1k

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 921 words (~3,113 tokens).

“The kbn-ui system distributes Kibana UI components as versioned standalone packages for external consumers (e.g. Cloud UI). Each package lives under src/platform/kbn-ui/ and has two layers:”
