Cloud Setup

This handles the initial authentication setup for Elastic Cloud, which every other cloud-related skill in this collection depends on. It walks you through a three-step workflow: verifying your EC_API_KEY environment variable, setting default preferences, and validating the connection actually works. It's purely foundational stuff, you run it once to get your credentials sorted before doing anything else with Elastic Cloud deployments. The skill comes from Elastic's official agent-skills repository and has passed security audits from Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket, and Snyk. Think of it as the boring but necessary prerequisite that makes the rest of the Elastic tooling actually function.
