url-investigation

url-investigation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Liberty91LTD/cti-skills. It costs 80 tokens per session (1,775 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for investigating a web address by scanning it and checking it against several threat-intelligence sources. It can return the link's reputation, redirects, contacted infrastructure, screenshot, parent domain, and resolved IP.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate URLs, cross-check results with URLScan, VirusTotal, and OTX, and continue investigating the related domain or IP address.
Why use it?
It brings several checks into one URL-investigation process instead of requiring separate lookups. This helps examine suspicious links, such as those found in phishing emails.

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

url-investigation 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 2mo 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.

url-investigation

Investigate a URL end-to-end. Scan it live (URLScan), cross-reference reputation (VT, OTX), extract parent domain + resolved IP for sibling investigations.

This skill invokes: /lookup-liberty91 (first-party — run first), /lookup-urlscan, /lookup-virustotal, /lookup-otx, optionally /lookup-reversinglabs (network threat-intel from RL malware corpus), optionally /lookup-crowdstrike (IOC reputation + actor/malware links), optionally /lookup-misp and/or /lookup-opencti (internal correlation), optionally /lookup-sentinel (exposure check in your own telemetry), optionally /domain-investigation and/or /ip-investigation for the parent/resolved infrastructure, then /source-assessment, /tlp-guide, /confidence-levels.

When to invoke

  • User asks to scan, check, or investigate a URL
  • User pastes a suspicious link from a phishing email
  • /domain-investigation or another skill hands off a specific URL for live-scan evidence

Inputs

indicator: <URL>
context: <optional — phishing email? user report? hunt result?>
tlp_ceiling: <optional, default AMBER — phishing-kit URLs often warrant AMBER+STRICT>
visibility: <unlisted | public — default unlisted for operational safety>

Procedure

1. Validate

  • Confirm it's a valid URL (scheme + host minimum)
  • Extract parent domain — useful for later pivots
  • Extract path + query params (but DON'T include in URL if it contains credentials or user-identifying tokens)

2. Primary scan

/lookup-urlscan url <value> --visibility unlisted

This takes 45-90 seconds on first submission. While waiting, run the other lookups in parallel.

Visibility default is unlisted — public submissions expose the IOC on URLScan's global feed and can tip off threat actors. Only use public if the user explicitly requests it or the URL is already publicly known.

3. Parallel reputation lookups

/lookup-virustotal url <value>   # aggregate reputation
/lookup-otx url <value>          # community pulses referencing this URL

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.
