What it does

Workflows Custom Triggers is an agent skill from elastic/kibana, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Register and implement custom workflow triggers from an external Kibana plugin using @kbn/workflows-extensions. Use when adding or modifying an event-driven trigger with registerTriggerDefinition, designing eventSchema Zod schemas, writing documentation and KQL snippets, wiring emitEvent via request context or getClient, choosing sync vs async public loader registration, updating APPROVEDTRIGGERDEFINITIONS, or reviewing PRs that touch any of these. Always ask for the user's plugin id first to locate the correct…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.5k 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 Backend & APIs, covering Event-driven systems and Forms and validation. It works with Elasticsearch, Microsoft Sentinel and Zod. The repository describes itself as: Your window into all of your data.

When your agent uses it

  • From an external Kibana plugin using @kbn/workflows-extensions
  • Modifying an event-driven trigger with registerTriggerDefinition
  • Designing eventSchema Zod schemas
  • Writing documentation and KQL snippets

Example prompts

  • “/workflows-custom-triggers”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Plugin location
  2. Common file (common/triggers/.ts or plugin convention) — see TRIGGERS.md Step 1
  3. Server — see TRIGGERS.md Step 2
  4. Public — see TRIGGERS.md Step 3
  5. Plugin wiring
  6. Approval gate — see TRIGGERS.md approval process

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:

    • rg

    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

Workflows Custom Triggers loads about 3.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 146 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,318 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~146
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.5k

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 1,318 words (~3,470 tokens).

“Follow the end-to-end steps, code templates, emit patterns, guardrails, and approval workflow in:”
