CB correlating-security-events-in-qradar

Correlates security events in IBM QRadar SIEM using AQL (Ariel Query Language), custom rules, building blocks, and offense management to detect multi-stage attacks across network, endpoint, and application log sources. Use when SOC analysts need to investigate QRadar offenses, build correlation rules, or tune detection logic for reducing false positives.

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
    • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

    Process rating: all ten parameters 72/100

    • 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
    • 30Running it twice. 4 mutating operations with no state check
    • 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
    • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
    • 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
    • 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
    • 100Steps. 22 steps
    • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2339 tokens
    • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress

    Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.

    Quality signals

    • +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
    • -41 reference files, but SKILL.md never points to them: the model will not open them
    • -31 of 1 scripts are never mentioned in SKILL.md
    • +2Single-language instructions
    • +4Description says when NOT to use the skill
    • +3Description length 356: enough signal without eating the budget
    • +4Structure: 14 headings
    • +3Step-by-step instructions: 22 items
    • +3Output format is stated explicitly
    • +4Has examples (11 code blocks)
    • +1License stated

    Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 82.
