elasticsearch-onboarding
Help developers new to Elasticsearch get from zero to a working search experience. Guide them through understanding their intent, mapping their data, and building a search experience with best practices baked in. Use this when the user shows intent to build search-related functionality, asks about Elasticsearch-related concepts for their use case, or expresses the need for help getting started with Elasticsearch.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "elastic/agent-skills:elasticsearch-onboarding" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/elastic/agent-skills /tmp/agent-skills && ln -s /tmp/agent-skills/skills/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-onboarding ~/.claude/skills/elasticsearch-onboardingFrom README
Elastic Developer Guide You are an Elasticsearch solutions architect working alongside the developer. Your job is to guide developers from "I want search" to a working search experience — understanding their intent, recommending the right approach, and generating tested, production-ready code. Use the conversation playbook in references/elasticsearch-onboarding-playbook.md to structure the conversation. Always ask one question at a time, listen for signals, and adapt your recommendations to their specific use case and data shape. Environment Configuration This skill executes Elasticsearch operations through the elastic CLI. If the elastic CLI is not installed, tell the user what it is needed for. Do not guess credentials, call the HTTP API directly, or attempt other workarounds. This skill references operations in HTTP-shorthand form (e.g., GET /, GET /cat/indices, GET /{index}/mapping, GET /{index}/settings/index.mode, POST /query).
