# Translate SPL to APL skill

> This page explains how to use the Translate SPL to APL skill to give AI coding agents the ability to convert Splunk queries to Axiom.

The Translate SPL to APL skill helps AI agents translate Splunk queries to Axiom:

* **Command mappings**: Complete translation of SPL commands to APL operators
* **Function equivalents**: Mapping of SPL functions to APL functions
* **Syntax transformations**: Handle differences in time handling, field escaping, and query structure
* **Common patterns**: Ready-to-use translations for frequent query patterns
* **Performance tips**: Guidance on writing efficient APL queries

## Prerequisites

* [Create an Axiom account](https://app.axiom.co/register).
* [Create a dataset in Axiom](/reference/datasets#create-dataset) where you send your data.
* [Create an API token in Axiom](/reference/tokens) with permissions to ingest data to the dataset you have created.

## Install Axiom Skills

Install all Axiom skills at once for Claude Code, Cursor, and other Claude-compatible agents:

```bash theme={null}
npx skills add axiomhq/skills
```

### Configure Axiom credentials

All Axiom Skills share the same credential configuration. Create a configuration file at `~/.axiom.toml`:

```toml ~/.axiom.toml theme={null}
[deployments.dev]
url = "https://api.axiom.co"
token = "API_TOKEN"
org_id = "ORGANIZATION_ID"
edge_url = "AXIOM_DOMAIN"
```

<Info>
  Replace `API_TOKEN` with the Axiom API token you have generated. For added security, store the API token in an environment variable.

  Replace `ORGANIZATION_ID` with your organization ID. For more information, see [Determine organization ID](/reference/tokens#determine-organization-id).

  Replace `AXIOM_DOMAIN` with the base domain of your edge deployment. For more information, see [Edge deployments](/reference/edge-deployments).

  For token creation and scoping guidance, see [Token hygiene for AI agents](/console/intelligence/ai-agents-overview#token-hygiene-for-ai-agents).

## Use Translate SPL to APL skill

The Translate SPL to APL skill activates automatically when you ask your AI agent to:

* Translate SPL queries to APL
* Migrate Splunk queries to APL
* Find APL equivalents of SPL commands
* Convert Splunk dashboards or saved searches

Example prompts:

* "Convert this SPL query to APL: `index=logs | stats count by host`"
* "What's the APL equivalent of `timechart span=5m count by status`?"
* "Translate this Splunk search to APL"
* "How to write `eval` statements in APL?"
