splunk-spl

splunk-spl is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Kangwonland/splunk-skill. It costs 198 tokens per session (2,762 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for writing SPL and SPL2, the search languages used by Splunk to query machine data such as logs and security events. It includes examples and Splunk documentation references.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write, review, optimize, and troubleshoot Splunk searches, field extraction, statistics, time ranges, and related search commands.
Why use it?
It helps avoid incorrect, slow, or poorly matched Splunk searches, especially when queries need to fit a specific environment.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

splunk-spl 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 3d 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.

Splunk SPL / SPL2 Best Practices

86 rules across 25 categories with incorrect/correct examples and official limits.conf values.

All documentation references use help.splunk.com only. docs.splunk.com is deprecated and no longer maintained.

Environment-Specific SPL

Before generating any SPL query, check if skills/splunk-env/env-config.md (or skills/splunk-env-ko/env-config.md) exists. If it does, read it and use the environment data:

  • Use actual index names from the Indexes table instead of index=main
  • Use actual sourcetype names instead of generic ones
  • Use host patterns (e.g., host=fw-*) from Host Groups
  • Apply lookups for enrichment when relevant
  • Use macros when they simplify the query
  • Follow SPL Generation Notes for scenario-to-query mappings

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.
