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 5.1 | $0.00101 | $0.01986 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00051 | $0.00993 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00397 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00199 |
Grade B, and why
building-super-timelines-with-plaso 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.
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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Building Super Timelines with Plaso
Authorized Use Only: Build timelines only from evidence you are authorized to analyze. Work from forensic images/copies and preserve chain of custody.
Overview
Plaso (Plaso Langar Að Safna Öllu) is the open-source engine behind log2timeline, the standard for building forensic super timelines — a single chronological, normalized view fusing hundreds of artifact types (file-system MACB times, registry, EVTX, browser history, prefetch, LNK, $UsnJrnl, syslog, and more) into one timeline. Plaso has three core CLI tools:
- log2timeline.py — extracts events from a source (disk image, mount point, directory, or device) into a
.plasostorage file using its large parser/plugin set. - pinfo.py — reports on the contents and processing metadata of a
.plasofile. - psort.py — post-processes, filters, deduplicates, time-zones, and exports the storage file to an output format (CSV, JSON-line, Elasticsearch, Timesketch, etc.).
- psteal.py — convenience wrapper that runs extraction + export in one step.
The resulting timeline is enormous, so analysts triage it in Timesketch — a collaborative, web-based timeline analysis platform that ingests .plaso files (or CSV/JSONL) and supports filtering, tagging, starring, saved searches, and automated analyzers.
When to Use
- Reconstructing the full sequence of events on a compromised host during incident response.
- Correlating activity across many artifact sources on a single normalized timeline.
- Investigating anti-forensic behavior such as timestomping or log clearing (which stands out against MACB and journal evidence).
- Feeding a curated timeline into Timesketch for team triage.
Prerequisites
- Install Plaso (Docker is the supported, reproducible method):
Alternatively on Ubuntu via the GIFT PPA:docker pull log2timeline/plaso # Run a tool, mounting your evidence/output directory docker run -v /cases:/data log2timeline/plaso log2timeline.py --versionsudo add-apt-repository ppa:gift/stable sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y plaso-tools - A Timesketch instance (docker-compose deployment from https://github.com/google/timesketch) for triage.
- A forensic image (E01/raw) or mounted file system.
What ships with it
3 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.

building-super-timelines-with-plaso is a skill published in the GitHub repository Youngmaidainon/Agent-Level-Up (3 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 101 tokens to every session and 1,986 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). It is 92% identical to building-super-timelines-with-plaso, differing in 6 lines, and is treated as a copy.
