es-cli
"Expert guide for the es (Elasticsearch) CLI — cluster health, indices, aliases, templates, component templates, documents, search, ingest pipelines, ILM, nodes, shards, and config profiles. Use this skill when the user mentions Elasticsearch operations from the terminal, es-cli, index lifecycle, reindex, rollover, allocation explain, or automating ES with a CLI. Trigger for coding agents that need exact commands, flags, auth env vars, or JSON output for scripts."

Elasticsearch CLI (es) — agent skill
Maintainer note
When you change the CLI (commands, flags, auth, config, output): update CLAUDE.md and any affected README.md / docs/ in the same PR. If the change affects what this skill claims (scope, install, major workflows), update the YAML description above or the sections below. See CONTRIBUTING.md → Documentation and agent materials.
Canonical guide
The full command reference, workflows, and examples live in CLAUDE.md in this repository. Read that file for complete coverage.
Quick orientation
