COMMUNITYLABSCO SUMMARY
The seven cover different jobs against a live Axiom deployment: axiom-sre investigates incidents with a hypothesis-driven, systematic triage method; building-dashboards designs dashboards from a plain description, a template, or a Splunk migration, and works together with query-metrics for chart data; axiom-alerting manages monitors and notifiers through Axiom's v2 API; controlling-costs looks at query patterns to find unused columns and fields, then builds the dashboards and monitors to track the savings, and explicitly depends on axiom-sre and building-dashboards to do that; query-metrics runs metrics queries and discovers available metrics, tags, and tag values; spl-to-apl translates Splunk SPL syntax into Axiom's own APL; and writing-evals scaffolds evaluation suites, scorers, and flag schemas for the Axiom AI SDK.
This is for a team already paying for Axiom that wants a coding agent to write its monitors, dashboards, and cost queries directly against the account, or a team migrating off Splunk who wants the query-translation skill specifically. Before any of them are useful, the readme asks for three command-line tools on the machine running the agent — jq, curl, and bc, the last one only for controlling-costs — plus a one-time setup script and a ~/.axiom.toml file holding a deployment token and an org id.
READ THE FULL ANALYSIS
What each one costs to run. Six of the seven need that Axiom account and token in place before they do anything real; only spl-to-apl, pure syntax translation with no live query involved, is ready to use with nothing configured.
Axiom also runs a hosted MCP server at mcp.axiom.co, wired into this same repository's own .mcp.json for clients that install plugins from a manifest rather than a skills folder — a separate channel covering some of the same ground as these seven skills. The repository is MIT licensed.

6 showing · 6 totalNothing else to set up — install it and go.
axiom-alerting
Sets up alerting in Axiom, the service that stores a system's logs and measurements: what to watch for, where the warning should land, and a check against past data that it would really have gone off.
axiom-sre
Investigates a production incident by querying your logs, metrics, profiling, and error-tracking tools directly, then reports back only what it actually confirmed with data.
building-dashboards
Turns a rough idea for a dashboard into a working one in Axiom, picking chart types for the question being asked, then assembling and publishing the finished layout.
controlling-costs
Works out where an Axiom bill is actually going, finds the data nobody ever searches but everybody pays to keep, and leaves behind the dashboard and warnings that hold the spending down.
query-metrics
Finds out which measurements a system is really recording in Axiom, then reads one back correctly — a running total and a live reading have to be asked for in different ways, or the numbers come out wrong.
spl-to-apl
Converts a Splunk search query into the matching query for Axiom, translating each command, function, and syntax quirk so the migrated version actually works.
