Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00028 | $0.02775 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.01110 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00555 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00278 |
Grade B, and why
cisco-spaces-setup scanned grade B with 2 findings 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 29d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Workflow Overview
┌───────────┐ ┌────────────┐ ┌──────────────────┐ ┌───────────────┐
│ Preflight │ → │ Install TA │ → │ Configure stream │ → │ Validate data │
└───────────┘ └────────────┘ └──────────────────┘ └───────────────┘
When to Activate
- Onboard a Cisco Spaces meta stream or firehose into Splunk.
- Configure
ta_cisco_spacesaccounts, indexes, or modular inputs. - Diagnose activation, stream, source-type, or ingestion failures.
Scope
This skill configures the Splunk side of a documented Spaces stream. It does not request activation tokens in chat, change location policy, or enable an unreviewed firehose without considering event volume.
Examples
Run diagnostic checks before account creation:
bash skills/cisco-spaces-setup/scripts/validate.sh
Expected output: tools, package, Splunk connectivity, and account prerequisites are reported without changing Spaces or Splunk inputs.
Run completion validation after enabling a firehose:
bash skills/cisco-spaces-setup/scripts/validate.sh --completion
Expected output: account, input, index, source type, and recent event evidence
report [PASS]; an idle or unauthorized stream exits nonzero.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Activation fails | Token is expired, scoped incorrectly, or unreadable | Replace the protected token file and retry |
| Connected but idle | Wrong stream/no activity | Verify the selected stream |
| Wrong index | Input differs from plan | Correct it and rerun checks |
| Reconnect loop | Network is unstable | Inspect logs and outbound access |
What ships with it
6 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.

cisco-spaces-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository chambear2809/splunk-cisco-skills (40 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 2,775 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
