overcast-connect-the-dots

overcast-connect-the-dots is a skill for Claude Code from kdr/overcast. It costs 60 tokens per session (998 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A case-analysis skill that turns records, people, devices, places, media, and extracted entities into one interactive relationship graph.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build and inspect a case knowledge graph, examine shared-media and other hubs, explore two-step neighborhoods, optionally extract entities with a language model, and record supported connections.
Why use it?
It helps reveal links between separate pieces of case information and shows where each connection came from. You can focus on the nearby connections around a specific item and turn confirmed links into evidence findings.

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

overcast-connect-the-dots scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 10d ago.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

overcast-connect-the-dots

Use this skill to "connect the dots": render the whole case as one relational graph and find the links that tie records, people, devices, places, and entities together. This is the relational/entity board; the visual crop corkboard is overcast-crime-board (faces + object crops with red string). Use the broad overcast skill and overcast/reference/verbs.md for exact flags.

Workflow

  1. Build the graph and read the hubs. graph emits ONE self-contained interactive HTML force-graph — records, shared-media hubs, targets, accepted/open findings, cluster people, device fingerprints, places, and regex-harvested typed entities (email / phone / @handle / url / domain / hashtag + exif serial + scan identity lifts) — with every edge carrying its provenance record id:
overcast doctor --json
overcast case init --json
overcast graph --no-open --json           # build; inspect the payload's nodes/edges/hubs
overcast graph --json                     # (also opens the viewer) hand-rolled canvas, no CDN/egress
  1. Focus a node's 2-hop neighborhood — a target, a finding, a record id, a media ref, or an entity's text. The anchor is never trimmed; --limit drops lowest-degree leaf entities first, --since is capture-time-aware (an in-window finding pulls its out-of-window source record back in):
overcast graph --focus <target-id> --json          # everything around a line of investigation
overcast graph --focus "+15551234567" --json       # everything touching an entity value
overcast graph --since 7d --limit 250 --json        # recent, trimmed
  1. (Optional) Run the opt-in LLM entity/relation pass. --extract sends evidence TEXT to your brain LLM (BYO, text-only), caches to .overcast/graph/extract.jsonl (delete the file to re-extract), and marks every result leads-not-proof (payload.caveat). It co-filters with --since:
overcast graph --extract --json                     # adds LLM-inferred entities/relations (cached)
overcast graph --extract --since 7d --focus <target-id> --json

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.
