Elastic Agent Skills
Official Elastic skills for Elasticsearch index design, queries, and ops.
About
Elastic Agent Skills is Elastic's official skill library for AI coding agents working with Elasticsearch. It covers the recurring operational workflows: index design and mappings, query performance optimization, search relevance and ranking tuning, cluster health diagnosis, ingest pipelines, safe reindexing, and ES|QL authoring. Each skill encodes Elastic's own best practices so agents stop guessing at mappings and shard settings.
For teams running Elasticsearch in production, these skills turn an agent from a generic code writer into something closer to a search engineer: it can diagnose slow queries, plan a reindex without downtime, and keep relevance tuning repeatable. Being vendor-maintained, the guidance tracks current Elasticsearch versions rather than whatever the model's training cutoff remembers.
