What This Skill Does

Runs open-source intelligence investigations on any target type — person, username, domain, IP address, phone number, email, organisation, image, or location. Classifies the target, selects applicable modules, executes them in parallel across web search, social media, DNS/WHOIS, image search, maps, and public records, then produces a structured report with per-finding confidence ratings. Optional API integrations unlock breach data lookups, IP intelligence, email discovery, and phone carrier info.

Runs all applicable investigation modules in parallel across dozens of sources at once, replacing the manual process of checking each platform, DNS tool, and search engine one by one.

When to use it

  • Checking what public information exists about a job candidate before hiring
  • Tracing a suspicious domain to its registrant and hosting history
  • Finding all social media accounts tied to a username
  • Identifying the origin of a photo using EXIF metadata and reverse image search
  • Looking up carrier info and public records for an unknown phone number

Example Workflow

Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.

INPUT

User asks: Find everything publicly available about the username 'shadowfox99'

AGENT
  1. 1Classify target as username/handle and select applicable modules: username, social, web
  2. 2Check existence across 13+ platforms (GitHub, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Steam, Telegram, and more) via web_fetch
  3. 3Deep-dive each confirmed profile to extract bio, location, follower counts, join date, linked URLs, and profile photo
  4. 4Run 5-8 targeted web searches with varied operators to find cross-references, documents, and paste site mentions
  5. 5Correlate findings across all sources and produce a structured report with High/Medium/Low confidence per finding
OUTPUT

OSINT report listing confirmed profiles on 4 platforms, extracted bio text, a linked personal domain, estimated account age, and a profile photo URL flagged for reverse image search
