SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill creates comprehensive investigations from security events, detections, or LCQL queries, capturing host context, lateral movement, and organizational scope to produce SOC-friendly reports.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • HOLISTIC investigations: initial access, host context, scope, and lateral movement
  • Builds Investigation Hive records with findings, events, detections, and analyst notes
  • Useful for incident response, threat hunting, alert triage, and SOC reporting

Quick Start

Start an investigation by feeding a security event or LCQL query, then let the skill build a full Investigation Hive record.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a comprehensive investigation from security events and detections?

Create investigations by feeding security events or LCQL queries to build holistic Investigation Hive records. The skill captures initial access, host context, lateral movement, and organizational scope, then documents findings, events, detections, and analyst notes for complete SOC reporting.

What's the difference between alert triage and holistic threat hunting investigations?

Alert triage responds to individual detections, while holistic threat hunting investigations connect events across endpoints to reveal lateral movement and organizational scope. This skill builds the latter by enforcing structured data collection with mandatory documentation of host context, entities, and analyst notes.

Can I use LCQL queries to initiate an investigation?

Yes. Use the generate_lcql_query function to create LCQL queries that feed investigation creation. The skill handles timestamp calculations and absolute time window logic, then outputs results as Investigation Hive records with full event and detection context.

What workflow constraints does investigation creation enforce?

The skill enforces mandatory tool documentation review, requires generate_lcql_query for all LCQL operations, enforces correct timestamp handling and absolute time window calculations, and mandates output to Investigation Hive records with events, detections, entities, and analyst notes.

How do I document lateral movement across endpoints in an investigation?

The skill captures lateral movement as part of holistic investigations by collecting host context and organizational-scope data across endpoints. Document findings in Investigation Hive records alongside initial access points, events, detections, and analyst notes to produce complete incident response narratives.

Is investigation creation suitable for SOC alert triage workflows?

Yes. The skill supports alert triage by converting individual detections into Investigation Hive records with holistic context including host data, lateral movement patterns, and organizational scope, making it ideal for SOC reporting and incident response documentation.
