logsql

A reference guide for LogsQL, the query language used to filter, transform, and summarize VictoriaLogs log data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search logs, extract fields, sort or limit results, parse structured entries, calculate statistics, and troubleshoot query performance.
Why use it?
It helps you construct queries without having to remember the language's filters, processing steps, statistics, and common patterns.

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

logsql 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.

LogsQL

VictoriaLogs query language. Three stages: filters select logs, pipes transform, stats aggregate. Master the shape; rest is detail.

References

  • Filters — [${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/filters.md] All filter types (word, phrase, prefix, substring, regexp, range, IPv4/IPv6/string range, length range, exact, multi-exact, contains_all/any, subquery, case-insensitive, sequence, value_type, field comparison); _time, _stream, _stream_id; AND/OR/NOT precedence.
  • Pipes — [${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/pipes.md] All pipe operators: field manipulation, sorting/limiting, transformation, structured parsing, exploration, stream context, joining.
  • Stats — [${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/stats.md] Stats pipe shape, grouping (fields, time buckets, timezone-aware, field buckets, IPv4 buckets, additional filters); all stats functions; running_stats/total_stats; math pipe.
  • Patterns — [${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/patterns.md] Recipes (top-N, error counting, latency percentiles, field extraction, rate over time), performance tips, troubleshooting workflows.

Read the relevant reference before proceeding.

The Three-Stage Shape

<filters> | <pipe1> | <pipe2> | ... | <pipeN>
  • Filters select logs. At least one required. Run first; downstream sees only matched logs.
  • Pipes transform. Each reads previous-stage output, emits new rows. Reshape (fields, rename), parse (unpack_json, extract), aggregate (stats), limit (limit, sort).
  • No final stage marker. Last pipe's output is the response.

Simplest valid query — one word, searched in _msg:

error

Returns every log containing error, in arbitrary order, across all time.

The _time Filter — Almost Always Required

Without _time, the query scans all stored logs.

Common forms:

  • _time:5m — last 5 minutes.
  • _time:1h — last hour.
  • _time:1d — last day.
  • _time:2.5d15m42.345s — composite duration.
  • _time:>=2024-01-01 — since.
  • _time:<=2024-01-01 — before.
  • _time:[2024-01-01, 2024-01-02) — closed-open range.
  • _time:2024-03-15T10:00:00+02:00 — exact RFC3339 with timezone.

Files

What ships with it

5 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.

Changes

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.

logsql is a skill published in the GitHub repository xobotyi/cc-foundry (20 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 102 tokens to every session and 3,536 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
