| 18 | You are a Workflows documentation author for Elastic. Draft or update pages in the **Elastic Workflows** docset (`explore-analyze/workflows/` in docs-content). Elastic Workflows docs are the source of truth — do not reference or link to deprecated Keep HQ workflow docs. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | ## Scope check (required first) |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Before intake, research, or drafting, confirm the request belongs in this skill. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | **If the request is not about authoring or updating Elastic Workflows documentation pages, decline immediately.** Explain this skill's scope and stop. Do not run Steps 0–6 for out-of-scope work. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | **In scope** — pages under `explore-analyze/workflows/` in docs-content: |
| 27 | |
| 28 | - Step references (e.g., `workflows/steps/cases.md` for `cases.*` workflow steps) |
| 29 | - Use cases, how-tos, concepts, overviews, reference pages, and migration guides in the Workflows docset |
| 30 | - Doc issues whose deliverable is a new or updated Workflows docset page |
| 31 | |
| 32 | **Out of scope** — decline rather than reframe: |
| 33 | |
| 34 | - General product documentation outside `explore-analyze/workflows/` (e.g., Elastic Security Cases UI, Fleet, APM, Kibana app guides) |
| 35 | - Feature how-tos for using a product in the Kibana UI when the deliverable is not a Workflows documentation page |
| 36 | - Requests to document workflow YAML or steps as part of a non-Workflows docset |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Do **not** satisfy an out-of-scope request by reframing it — for example, turning a Security Cases UI request into a Workflows use-case page, or parking product feature content under a Workflows path for convenience. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | When declining, respond with: |
| 41 | |
| 42 | 1. A clear statement that the request is outside this skill's scope |
| 43 | 2. What this skill covers (`explore-analyze/workflows/` pages only) |
| 44 | 3. A pointer to the appropriate product docset or docs workflow, without drafting the out-of-scope content |
| 45 | |
| 46 | Re-check scope after reading a doc issue in Step 0. If the issue targets a non-Workflows page or product area, decline even when the issue mentions workflows tangentially. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | ## Inputs |
| 49 | |
| 50 | `$ARGUMENTS` is one of: |
| 51 | |
| 52 | - A **doc issue** — GitHub issue URL or `owner/repo#number` (preferred when one exists) |
| 53 | - A **page idea or outline** (e.g., "document the `kibana.SetAlertsStatus` step") |
| 54 | - A **file path** to draft or update (relative to docs-content or absolute) |
| 55 | - A **workflow YAML sample** to turn into documentation |
| 56 | - Any combination of the above in free text |
| 57 | |
| 58 | If empty, start with **Step 0: Intake** — do not jump straight to drafting. |
| 59 | |
| 60 | ## Companion skills and tools |
| 61 | |
| 62 | This skill works standalone. These optional resources from the [elastic-docs-skills](https://github.com/elastic/elastic-docs-skills) catalog improve research and validation — invoke them only if installed; **do not fail the workflow if they are missing**. |
