osint

A skill for researching a person's publicly available and connected online information and assembling it into a detailed profile. OSINT means intelligence gathered from open sources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research a name or online handle, add information to an existing profile, build a personality profile, assess research completeness, or reformat findings.
Why use it?
It organizes scattered information about a person and indicates confidence in the findings, though some listed sources require configured access.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

osint scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 29 executable files (scripts/apify.sh, scripts/brightdata.sh, scripts/capture-evidence.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

OSINT Skill v3.2

Systematic intelligence gathering on individuals. From a name or handle to a scored dossier with psychoprofile, career map, and entry points.

Phase Router

Determine entry point from context:

  • New name/handle/URL, "пробей", "find out about" → Phase 0 (full cycle)
  • "Add LinkedIn/Instagram data" to existing dossier → Phase 2 (extraction)
  • "Build psychoprofile" from existing data → Phase 4
  • "Rate completeness" of existing dossier → Phase 5
  • "Reformat" or "present" findings → Phase 6

Default (full research request): Phase 0 → 1 → 1.5 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6.

Environment

All API keys via environment variables. Never hardcode tokens.

  • PERPLEXITY_API_KEY — Perplexity Sonar (fast answers + deep research)
  • EXA_API_KEY — Exa AI (semantic search, company/people research, deep research)
  • TAVILY_API_KEY — Tavily (agent-optimized search + extract, $0.005/req basic)
  • APIFY_API_TOKEN — Apify scraping (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook)
  • JINA_API_KEY — Jina reader/search/deepsearch
  • PARALLEL_API_KEY — Parallel AI search
  • BRIGHTDATA_MCP_URL — Bright Data MCP endpoint (full URL with token)
  • MCPORTER_CONFIG — mcporter config path

Scripts

Run from skill dir: bash scripts/<name>.sh. Each script validates env vars, exits with descriptive error + URL to get the key.

Search & Research:

  • diagnose.sh — run FIRST. Capability map of all tools.
  • Perplexity (first-pass default): when operating through Claude, call the MCP tool mcp__perplexity-ask__perplexity_ask directly. It returns an AI answer with citations (equivalent to sonar mode). Use the shell script for search (ranked web results), reason (reconcile contradictions), and deep (long-form research) modes, or from bash pipelines.
  • perplexity.shsearch <query> | sonar <query> (AI answer) | reason <query> (sonar-reasoning-pro, compare leads / reconcile contradictions) | deep <query> (deep research). Required by first-volley.sh and any bash-only pipeline.
  • tavily.shsearch <query> (basic $0.005) | deep <query> (advanced) | extract <url>
  • exa.shsearch <query> | company <name> | people <name> | crawl <url> | deep <prompt>
  • first-volley.sh "Name" "context" — parallel search, all engines at once.
  • merge-volley.sh <outdir> — deduplicate and merge first-volley results.

Files

What ships with it

37 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

osint is a skill published in the GitHub repository assafkip/huntkit (51 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 153 tokens to every session and 10,871 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
