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

offensive-osint-methodology 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 8d 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.

SKILL: OSINT Methodology

Metadata

Description

Structured OSINT methodology framework: target definition, source selection, collection workflows, data correlation, timeline reconstruction, and reporting. Use to guide systematic OSINT campaigns or teach OSINT methodology.

Trigger Phrases

Use this skill when the conversation involves any of: OSINT methodology, open source intelligence, target profiling, data correlation, OSINT workflow, intelligence collection, OSINT campaign, recon methodology

Instructions for Claude

When this skill is active:

  1. Load and apply the full methodology below as your operational checklist
  2. Follow steps in order unless the user specifies otherwise
  3. For each technique, consider applicability to the current target/context
  4. Track which checklist items have been completed
  5. Suggest next steps based on findings

    • Use separate browser profiles or isolation tools (e.g., Firefox Multi‑Account Containers) for any sock‑puppet activity.
    • Acquire disposable VoIP/SMS numbers (e.g., Burner, Silent Link) to satisfy platform verification without exposing real phone numbers.
    • Audit every browser extension before installation; supply‑chain attacks on popular add‑ons have targeted investigators since 2024.
    • Use dedicated browser profiles/containers per case and persona; avoid logging into personal accounts.
    • Prefer hardware‑backed passkeys for critical accounts; store recovery codes offline.
    • Maintain a minimal chain‑of‑custody: timestamp actions, hash key artifacts, and record tool versions per case.

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.
