What it does

Scout Migrate From Ftr is an agent skill from elastic/kibana, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Single entry point for migrating Kibana Functional Test Runner (FTR) tests to Scout. Plans the migration first, asks the user to review the plan, then executes it and runs the new tests. Use when migrating FTR tests to Scout, triaging FTR suites for Scout readiness, deciding UI vs API vs RTL/Jest, mapping FTR services/page objects/hooks to Scout fixtures, or splitting loadTestFile patterns.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/execute-plan.md`, `references/generate-plan.md` and `references/pick-correct-test-type.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Unit testing. It works with Elasticsearch and Jest. The repository describes itself as: Your window into all of your data.

When your agent uses it

  • Migrating FTR tests to Scout
  • Triaging FTR suites for Scout readiness
  • Deciding UI vs API vs RTL/Jest
  • Mapping FTR services/page objects/hooks to Scout fixtures

Example prompts

  • “/scout-migrate-from-ftr”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Plan
  2. Review gate (stop)
  3. Execute
  4. Run and iterate
  5. Review parity & best practices

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6d2624d. 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

Scout Migrate From Ftr loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~19k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,094 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~104
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~19k

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 1,094 words (~2,083 tokens).

“This is the single entry point for FTR-to-Scout migrations. It runs a deliberate five-step workflow:”
