What it does
Scout Create Scaffold is an agent skill from elastic/kibana, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Generate or repair a Scout test scaffold for a Kibana plugin/package (test/scout/{api,ui} Playwright configs, fixtures, example specs). Use when you need the initial Scout directory structure; prefer node scripts/scout generate with flags for non-interactive/LLM execution.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 Testing & QA, covering Project scaffolding and Browser testing. It works with Elasticsearch, Playwright and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: Your window into all of your data.
When your agent uses it
- You need the initial Scout directory structure
- Prefer node scripts/scout generate with flags for non-interactive/LLM execution
Example prompts
- “/scout-create-scaffold”
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Run pnpm kbn bootstrap so packages/kbn-ts-projects/config-paths.json picks up added or removed tsconfig.json paths.
- Validate with node scripts/type_check --project (plugin root tsconfig.json for A, or the API/UI tsconfig.json under for B).
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:
nodepnpm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, 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
Scout Create Scaffold loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 530 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 530 words (~1,646 tokens).
