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 | $0.00056 | $0.05560 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.02780 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.01112 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00556 |
Grade A, and why
custom-visualization-builder 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 616 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Custom Visualization Builder
Scaffold, build, package, and install a custom Splunk dashboard visualization using the @splunk/dashboard-studio-extension framework. Vizzes run in a sandboxed iframe and receive data from Splunk searches. You can build them with plain JavaScript or React — pick based on what the viz needs.
No local Splunk instance is required for development. Build and package locally, then install the .spl into a supported instance. Requires Splunk Enterprise 10.4+ or Splunk Cloud Platform (equivalent release).
When to Use
Use this skill when a user asks to create a new Splunk custom visualization, add a visualization to an existing dashboard-studio-extension project, package a visualization as a Splunk app, or migrate a legacy RequireJS custom viz to the current extension framework.
Do not install or update a visualization in a production or shared Splunk environment unless the user explicitly confirms that target. Do not ask users for raw credentials; use already configured local Splunk auth or a user-run install command.
Prerequisites
- Node.js >= 22
- Yarn >= 1.22
- Target instance: Splunk Enterprise 10.4+ or Splunk Cloud Platform (equivalent release)

JavaScript (@splunk/dashboard-studio-extension) |
React (@splunk/dashboard-studio-extension/react) |
|
|---|---|---|
| Use when | Canvas rendering, D3, plain DOM, minimal deps | Component-heavy UI, hooks-based state, most new projects |
| API style | Event listeners + getters | Hooks (useDataSources, useDimensions, useOptions, …) |
| Entry file | visualization.js |
visualization.jsx |
| Extra deps | None | react, react-dom (peer deps, added by scaffold) |
Project Structure
A project is a Splunk app that can contain one or more visualizations under visualizations/. Each viz has its own directory with config.json, src/, and SPL.md.

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.

custom-visualization-builder is a skill published in the GitHub repository splunk/splunk-agent-skills (25 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 5,560 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
