building-incident-timeline-with-timesketch

building-incident-timeline-with-timesketch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Youngmaidainon/Agent-Level-Up. It costs 75 tokens per session (2,239 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of building-incident-timeline-with-timesketch, MIT.

A collaborative forensic timeline built in Timesketch, an open-source tool for examining events in chronological order during a security investigation. It combines logs and computer artifacts from endpoints, servers, and cloud services into a searchable timeline.

In plain words
What is it for?
Importing Plaso, CSV, or JSONL data, analysing an attack sequence, tagging evidence, and documenting findings with multiple investigators.
Why use it?
It makes it easier to reconstruct what happened, when it happened, and how an attack progressed across multiple systems.

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 B, and why

building-incident-timeline-with-timesketch scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/agent.py, scripts/process.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Building Incident Timeline with Timesketch

Overview

Timesketch is an open-source collaborative forensic timeline analysis tool developed by Google that enables security teams to visualize and analyze chronological data from multiple sources during incident investigations. It ingests logs and artifacts from endpoints, servers, and cloud services, normalizes them into a unified searchable timeline, and provides powerful analysis capabilities including built-in analyzers, tagging, sketch annotations, and story building. Timesketch integrates with Plaso (log2timeline) for artifact parsing and supports direct CSV/JSONL ingestion for rapid timeline construction during active incidents.

When to Use

  • When deploying or configuring building incident timeline with timesketch capabilities in your environment
  • When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
  • When building or improving security architecture for this domain
  • When conducting security assessments that require this implementation

Prerequisites

  • Familiarity with incident response concepts and tools
  • Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution
  • Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed
  • Appropriate authorization for any testing activities

Architecture and Components

Core Components

  • Timesketch Server: Web application with REST API for timeline management
  • OpenSearch/Elasticsearch: Backend storage and search engine for timeline events
  • PostgreSQL: Metadata storage for sketches, stories, and user data
  • Redis: Task queue management for background processing
  • Celery Workers: Asynchronous processing of timeline uploads and analyzers

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.
