Parse Windows event logs into fast timelines and detection-rich outputs so agents can triage suspicious host activity, search for known patterns, and hand investigators reviewable artifacts.

## Prerequisites

1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.

Install command or upstream instructions:
