Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00062 | $0.00935 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00031 | $0.00467 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00187 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00093 |
Grade A, and why
overcast-skip-trace 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 5d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
overcast-skip-trace
Use this skill to assemble what is publicly known about a person from OSINT
records-broker sources. Every source here is opt-in PII on a real person. Use the
broad overcast skill and overcast/reference/verbs.md for exact flags.
⚠️ Authorized use only. These sources return personal data on real people via Apify-backed brokers (
APIFY_TOKEN). Run them ONLY in an authorized context (skip-tracing, due diligence, an investigation you are permitted to run).personresults are NOT an FCRA consumer report — never use them for credit, employment, housing, or insurance decisions.plateneeds a bound actor (OVERCAST_PLATE_ACTOR; US owner data is DPPA-restricted) and returns vehicle SPEC, not the owner. None of these is a default source — you bind each deliberately.
Workflow
- Confirm creds and open the case:
overcast doctor --sources --json # confirm APIFY_TOKEN resolves
overcast case init --json
- Discover accounts from a handle (Maigret across 3000+ sites) — a cheap, wide first pass that seeds names, avatars, and bios to pivot on:
overcast source add "username:<handle>" --json
overcast scan --source username --json
- Resolve a name to public records (people-search / skip-trace — addresses, phones,
emails, relatives, age). Add a
@<location>hint to disambiguate a common name:
overcast source add "person:<Full Name>@<city, ST>" --json
overcast scan --source person --json
- Reverse the strongest phone and pull property records for an address the earlier
hops surfaced — each lands as its own
scanrecord:
overcast source add "phone:+15551234567" --json # reverse phone / carrier + web footprint
overcast scan --source phone --json
overcast source add "property:<street, city, ST zip>" --json # assessor / tax / recorder records
overcast scan --source property --json
- Cross-check and record. Tie the handles, phones, emails, and addresses together
in the
graph(its typed-entity nodes link the same value across records), cite every claim to ascanrecord.id, and triage before concluding:
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.
- 5d ago First seen · 88 lines · 62 tokens per session scan A 3d54b8fd446d
overcast-skip-trace is a skill published in the GitHub repository kdr/overcast (15 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 935 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
