source-provenance

source-provenance is a skill for Claude Code from Liberty91LTD/cti-skills. It costs 125 tokens per session (2,973 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A source-tracing tool for finding where an online report originally came from. It follows links and named sources to build a chain from the article back to its earliest resolved source.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with article URLs when checking whether a report is original, identifying its source, or documenting how information was passed along. It cannot resolve pasted text without a URL.
Why use it?
News and threat reports are often rewrites of other reports, so several articles may represent only one underlying source. This helps avoid counting copied coverage as independent evidence.

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

source-provenance 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/resolve_provenance.py), 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.

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 — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

source-provenance

Most CTI reporting that reaches an analyst is derivative. An outlet rewrites another outlet, which summarised a vendor blog, which reported on the vendor's telemetry. Five outlets covering one vendor report look like five sources. They are one.

This skill resolves a URL to its originating source and returns the chain as data. It does not grade anything. Grading is /quality-of-information-check.

Composition. Invokes /lookup-liberty91 when a key is configured. Invoked by /quality-of-information-check, /claim-extraction (for the fetcher), /threat-actor-profiling, /campaign-tracking, /intelligence-writing and /cti-orchestrator.

The rule that matters

The chain comes from data, never from recollection. You may know that a story "was originally a Mandiant report". That knowledge does not go in the output. If the platform or the script did not resolve a hop, the hop is unresolved, and you say so.

Inputs

  • One or more URLs (up to 50 per run).
  • Optional: a Liberty91 event ID, in which case platform data is returned instead of resolving.

Pasted text with no URL cannot be resolved by this skill. Say so and hand it to /quality-of-information-check, which treats it as Tier 3.

Tiers

Tier When Who resolves the chain provenance_basis
1 LIBERTY91_API_KEY is set and the platform returns provenance fields for the event Liberty91 ingestion pipeline, across the whole deduplicated event platform-resolved
2 No key, or the platform has no provenance for this URL scripts/resolve_provenance.py, for the single article given script-resolved
3 The page cannot be fetched, or the input is pasted text The model, from the text alone, every field marked unverified model-judged

Every output carries provenance_basis at the top. Downstream skills carry it through unchanged.

Procedure

1. Try the platform

If LIBERTY91_API_KEY is set, ask /lookup-liberty91 for the event that contains this URL and read its provenance fields (primaries[], independent_primaries, chains[], most_recent_observation, superseded_by). If they are present, return them with provenance_basis: platform-resolved and stop.

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.
