BC hunting-evtx-with-chainsaw
Run Chainsaw against collected Windows EVTX files to hunt with the SigmaHQ rule corpus, built-in detection rules, and high-speed keyword/regex search, plus analyze shimcache, SRUM, and event-log gaps, outputting colorized tables, CSV, or JSON. Use during first-response triage for offline, SIEM-free detection over Windows event logs, or to quickly confirm a hunt hypothesis and produce reporting output.

As a process C 53/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, failures and branches
How to improve
- 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 53/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 24 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1945 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
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- -42 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
- +3Description length 404: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 17 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 24 items
- +4Has examples (10 code blocks)
- +1License stated
