Implement and review Kibana feature privilege deprecations. An agent skill from elastic/kibana.

  • Works in 4 steps: Create new replacement feature(s) → Mark existing feature as deprecated → Define replacedBy on every privilege → …
  • Deprecating features
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Key Concepts, Implementation Steps and Validation Rules (Enforced at…, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Kibana Privilege Deprecation is an agent skill from elastic/kibana, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Implement and review Kibana feature privilege deprecations. Use when deprecating features, renaming features, splitting features, consolidating features, moving privilege capabilities, reviewing deprecation PRs, or working with the replacedBy mapping system.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/reference.md`).

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

When your agent uses it

  • Deprecating features
  • Renaming features
  • Splitting features
  • Consolidating features

Example prompts

  • “/kibana-privilege-deprecation”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Create new replacement feature(s)
  2. Mark existing feature as deprecated
  3. Define replacedBy on every privilege
  4. Update code to use new features

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).

    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

Kibana Privilege Deprecation loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 640 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~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 640 words (~1,970 tokens).

“Guides implementing and reviewing backward-compatible Kibana feature privilege deprecations using the deprecated privilege mapping framework.”
