Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00038 | $0.01982 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00991 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00396 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00198 |
Grade B, and why
building-incident-timeline-with-timesketch scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Building Incident Timeline with Timesketch
Overview
Timesketch is an open-source collaborative forensic timeline analysis tool developed by Google that enables security teams to visualize and analyze chronological data from multiple sources during incident investigations. It ingests logs and artifacts from endpoints, servers, and cloud services, normalizes them into a unified searchable timeline, and provides powerful analysis capabilities including built-in analyzers, tagging, sketch annotations, and story building. Timesketch integrates with Plaso (log2timeline) for artifact parsing and supports direct CSV/JSONL ingestion for rapid timeline construction during active incidents.
Architecture and Components
Core Components
- Timesketch Server: Web application with REST API for timeline management
- OpenSearch/Elasticsearch: Backend storage and search engine for timeline events
- PostgreSQL: Metadata storage for sketches, stories, and user data
- Redis: Task queue management for background processing
- Celery Workers: Asynchronous processing of timeline uploads and analyzers

Deployment
Docker Deployment (Recommended)
# Clone Timesketch repository
git clone https://github.com/google/timesketch.git
cd timesketch
# Run deployment helper script
cd docker
sudo docker compose up -d
# Default access: https://localhost:443
# Admin credentials generated during first run
System Requirements
- Minimum 8 GB RAM (16+ GB recommended for large investigations)
- 4 CPU cores minimum
- SSD storage for OpenSearch indices
- Docker and Docker Compose installed
What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
