What it does
Workflows YAML Reference is an agent skill from elastic/kibana, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Reference the workflows example library when answering questions about Elastic Workflows YAML syntax, structure, patterns, or examples. Use when the user asks about workflows, YAML syntax, workflow steps, triggers, Liquid templating, or needs examples of workflow patterns.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It works with Elasticsearch. The repository describes itself as: Your window into all of your data.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks about workflows
- Liquid templating
- Needs examples of workflow patterns
Example prompts
- “/workflows-yaml-reference”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Basic Workflow Structure
- HTTP API Integration
- Elasticsearch Operations
- Foreach Loops
- Conditional Logic
- Scheduled Triggers
- Integration Examples
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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are yaml).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.comliquidjs.com
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 YAML Reference loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 817 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 817 words (~2,336 tokens).
