What it does
Scout UI Testing is an agent skill from elastic/kibana, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use when creating, updating, debugging, or reviewing Scout UI tests in Kibana (Playwright + Scout fixtures), including page objects, browser authentication, parallel UI tests (spaceTest/scoutSpace), a11y checks, and flake control.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/scout-browser-auth.md` and `references/scout-ui-parallelism.md`).
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Accessibility and Browser testing. It works with Elasticsearch and Playwright. The repository describes itself as: Your window into all of your data.
When your agent uses it
- Reviewing Scout UI tests in Kibana (Playwright + Scout fixtures)
- Including page objects
- Browser authentication
- Parallel UI tests (spaceTest/scoutSpace)
Example prompts
- “/scout-ui-testing”
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:
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 UI Testing loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,315 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 1,315 words (~3,144 tokens).
“This applies to any attribute check (aria-pressed, aria-selected, aria-expanded, disabled, etc.). The .and() locator composition auto-retries until the combined selector matches, equivalent to an assertion but without pulling expect into the page object.”
