osint-methodology

osint-methodology is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from opencue/cuecards. It costs 115 tokens per session (6,891 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of osint-methodology, MIT.

A methodology for authorised open-source intelligence investigations and external attack-surface assessments. OSINT means collecting and analysing publicly available information.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for authorised red-team work, bug-bounty research, attack-surface mapping, and investigations of organisations, people, or threat actors.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to plan reconnaissance, assess scope, rate findings, and improve confidence in investigative results.

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-methodology 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.

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.

OSINT Methodology — External Red-Team Edition

0. When to Use / When NOT

Use this skill when: planning or executing authorized external recon (red team, bug bounty, ASM); mapping an org's attack surface; investigating a person/entity/threat-actor; producing client deliverables.

Do NOT use this skill when: the user needs active exploitation, post-exploitation, or malware dev; blue-team/detection content; or the target's authorization is unclear — surface the scope question first.


Intended for assets the operator owns or has written authorization to assess.

Soft scope check — when authorization isn't established, ask once:

"Quick scope check: is this a target you own or have written authorization to assess? I want to make sure we stay on the right side of the engagement boundary."

Once asserted, don't re-ask. If the engagement type is stated ("pentest of acme.com under contract"), proceed.

Always-on guardrails:

  • Never weaken auth, rate limits, or safety controls on the target side.
  • No destructive probes (SYN scans at line-rate, masscan, fuzzing) outside explicit --aggressive mode.
  • Never paste real PII, credentials, session tokens, or API keys into cloud-hosted LLMs.
  • Never act against assets outside documented scope, even "obviously related" ones.

2. Confidence Levels

Every assertion carries a confidence level.

Level Meaning
TENTATIVE Plausible from indirect evidence; unverified. Snippet-only dork match, email pattern inferred from name, single passive-source subdomain.
FIRM Directly observed, uncorroborated. Subdomain resolves; Shodan banner returned; CT-log entry.
CONFIRMED Multiple independent corroborations OR directly verified. Live-validated token; bucket listable; three-source subdomain convergence.

Rule of three for attribution: 3 independent weak signals, OR 1 strong + 1 weak. Never single-source attribute.

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.
