Maltego Transform Basics Skill

Purpose

Use this skill for quick mechanical lookups — function signatures, parameter injection rules, annotation propagation, and context/settings reference. For a step-by-step workflow to write a complete transform, use maltego-transform-build instead.

Provide a compact primer for common transform authoring mechanics. This is not a complete SDK reference; use maltego-transform-docs or local SDK source/tests for anything outside these basics.

When to Load the Reference

Load references/transform-authoring-patterns.md when you need quick confirmation for:

• @register_transform function shape
• parameter injection for input entities, settings, slider/limit, and context
• context.log.* response shape
• standard entity imports and graph returns
• shared IntegrationClient usage
• common settings and discovery endpoint patterns

For migration-specific TRX mapping, use maltego-trx-migration-planner or maltego-trx-migration-implementer first, then load this skill only for the SDK target mechanics.
