find-anyone is a skill for Claude Code from tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit. It costs 80 tokens per session (3,133 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of find-anyone, MIT.

A public-record research workflow for building a sourced profile of one named person. It checks that records from social, professional, legal, property, licensing, patent, paper, and obituary sources belong to the same individual.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is intended for due diligence, journalism, fraud or asset investigations, missing-person work, and lawful background checks.

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

find-anyone 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 6d 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 — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Find anyone

Turn a name into a sourced profile of one specific human. The work is 20% finding data and 80% proving the data belongs to your subject and not to someone with the same name. Beginners collect first and disambiguate later; that is how you end up with a confident, well-cited dossier describing two different people fused into one. Bind the name to a second selector before you collect anything.

Step 1 — Authorized scope

Write down, before searching: the subject, the objective, what is in bounds, what is out of bounds, and which jurisdiction's law governs you and the subject. Read ../../ETHICS.md.

Built for: counterparty and investor due diligence, fraud and asset investigation, journalism, skip tracing and debt recovery, missing persons, pre-employment integrity checks on senior or [человек] roles, and personal self-defense — running yourself to see what an attacker would find.

Out of bounds, always: establishing a private individual's home address, routine movements, children, medical status, immigration status, or sexuality for any purpose other than a documented lawful one; anything that puts you in contact with the subject; and any use a reasonable person would call surveillance. If your objective is to confront, embarrass, or reach the subject in person, stop. See also the US employment-and-tenancy restriction in dig-through-data-brokers, which binds a large share of the sources here.

Done when the scope note exists in the case file, names a lawful objective, and states an explicit out-of-bounds list.

Step 2 — Bind the name to a second selector

Never search on a name alone. Pick an anchor and carry it into every query.

What you hold First move Why
Name + employer Professional network, company bios, press releases Employment is the strongest cheap anchor; it dates the person and gives a city
Name + city/region Local records — property, court, voter file where public, local press Geography prunes namesakes fastest
Name + a photo find-the-original-image, then secrets-in-file-metadata A face survives name changes and transliteration
Name + email or handle what-an-email-reveals, hunt-a-handle Machine-unique selectors; skip disambiguation almost entirely
Name + approximate age Genealogy, obituaries, licensing records Age bands split same-name clusters cleanly
Name only Stop. Go back to the requester A bare common name is not an investigable selector

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.
