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 | $0.00039 | $0.03197 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.01598 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00639 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00320 |
Grade A, and why
security-alert-triage scanned grade A with 0 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 2d 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.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
100% identical to security-alert-triage — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 285 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Alert Triage
Analyze Elastic Security alerts one at a time: gather context, classify, create a case, and acknowledge. This skill
depends on the case-management skill for case creation.
Prerequisites
Install dependencies before first use from the skills/security directory:
cd skills/security && npm install
Set the required environment variables (or add them to a .env file in the workspace root):
export ELASTICSEARCH_URL="https://your-cluster.es.cloud.example.com:443"
export ELASTICSEARCH_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export KIBANA_URL="https://your-cluster.kb.cloud.example.com:443"
export KIBANA_API_KEY="your-kibana-api-key"
Quick start
All commands from workspace root. Always fetch → investigate → document → acknowledge. Call the tools directly — do not read the skill file or explore the workspace first.
node skills/security/alert-triage/scripts/fetch-next-alert.js
node skills/security/case-management/scripts/case-manager.js find --tags "agent_id:<id>"
node skills/security/alert-triage/scripts/run-query.js --query-file query.esql --type esql
node skills/security/case-management/scripts/case-manager.js create --title "..." --description "..." --tags "classification:..." "agent_id:<id>" --severity <level> --yes
node skills/security/case-management/scripts/case-manager.js attach-alert --case-id <id> --alert-id <id> --alert-index <index> --rule-id <uuid> --rule-name "<name>" --yes
node skills/security/alert-triage/scripts/acknowledge-alert.js --related --agent <id> --timestamp <ts> --window 60 --yes
Common multi-step workflows
| Task | Tools to call (in order) |
|---|---|
| End-to-end triage | fetch_next_alert → run_query (context) → case_manager create (case) → acknowledge_alert |
| Gather context | run_query (process tree, network, related alerts) |
| Create case after classification | case_manager create → case_manager attach-alert |
| Acknowledge after triage | acknowledge_alert (related mode for batch) |
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.

security-alert-triage is a skill published in the GitHub repository elastic/cursor-plugins (31 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 3,197 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to security-alert-triage, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
