## What it does

The skill creates a `Lift_To_Graph` mapping and assembles calls for rendering, folding nodes, extracting properties, or enriching the graph. It works from tabular KQL or IRQL results and keeps the query’s filters, joins, and aggregations, adding projections or synthetic IDs needed by the mapping.

A working query and a description of the desired nodes, edges, labels, or icons are the usual starting point. A plain-language request is supported only for a simple source that maps to one known table or selector; this skill does not build complex query logic. Check that the required stored functions are deployed in the target database before running the pipeline. Without `Lift_To_Graph` and `Graph_Render_View`, graph rendering cannot run.

The rendered graph opens in Kusto Explorer. Folding requires `Graph_Fold_By_Property`, while extraction and enrichment functions need their own availability check. For `graph-match`, path searches, or component analysis, use `azure-kusto-graph` instead.

## Requirements
- Works with: Azure

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add microsoft/skills
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install azure-kusto-graph-skills@skills
```
This installs the whole azure-kusto-graph-skills plugin with all its skills

2. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-kusto-irql-graph -a claude-code
```

3. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/azure-kusto-irql-graph/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/azure-kusto-irql-graph/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/azure-kusto-irql-graph/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/azure-kusto-irql-graph/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install microsoft/skills azure-kusto-irql-graph
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/azure-kusto-irql-graph/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/microsoft/skills --path .github/plugins/azure-kusto-graph-skills/skills/azure-kusto-irql-graph
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/azure-kusto-irql-graph/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/microsoft/skills/tree/HEAD/.github/plugins/azure-kusto-graph-skills/skills/azure-kusto-irql-graph/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- turn KQL result rows into graph nodes and edges
- visualize relationships and icons in Kusto Explorer
- fold nodes that share a property value
- add extracted or enriched properties to graph nodes

## Example prompts
- Turn this KQL query's results into a Kusto Explorer graph while keeping its filters and joins.
- Build the `Lift_To_Graph` mapping and `Graph_Render_View` call for these results, with the requested node and edge labels.
- Fold nodes of this type by their shared property and enrich IP nodes with employee details.

# IRQL Graph Functions -- Query Results to Visualization

Apply the IRQL graph function family to tabular results. Given a KQL or IRQL query and the user's graph description, generate a `Lift_To_Graph` mapping and compose only the stored graph functions needed to visualize, fold, extract, or enrich the graph in Kusto Explorer. The source query does not need to use IRQL.

## Scope and Routing

| Request | Use |
|---|---|
| Turn supplied KQL/IRQL rows into an icon-decorated visual graph | This skill: `Lift_To_Graph` + `Graph_Render_View` |
| Fold nodes or apply `Extract_Node_*`, `Enrich_Node_*`, or `Enrich_Graph_*` | This skill |
| Use `make-graph`, `graph-match`, shortest paths, connected components, graph models, or snapshots | `azure-kusto-graph` |
| Author a non-trivial KQL/IRQL investigation from natural language | A Kusto or IRQL query-generation skill, then this skill |

If a request mixes visualization and native graph analysis, use this skill for the lift/render portion and `azure-kusto-graph` for operator semantics. Do not replace graph-lift functions with a hand-built edges-first graph unless the user asks for native graph operators.

## Input Contract

- **Preferred input**: a working KQL/IRQL query that produces tabular results, plus a natural-language description of the desired nodes, edges, labels, icons, extracts, enrichments, or folds.
- This skill is **not a natural-language-to-KQL or NL-to-IRQL converter**. It transforms existing query results into graph visualizations. For general NL-to-KQL or NL-to-IRQL conversion, use a dedicated query-generation skill (available separately).
- Preserve the supplied query's retrieval, joins, filters, and aggregations. Add only projections or synthetic IDs required by the graph mapping.
