OSINT Investigator transforms an agent into an open-source intelligence analyst. It provides step-by-step playbooks for generating advanced search queries (dorks), systematic reconnaissance, pivot-based follow-ups, timeline construction, metadata forensics, photo verification workflows, and structured reporting. The skill emphasizes a browser-first collection approach with web fetch fallbacks and enforces ethical/legal constraints.
Use this skill when performing publicly-available information research: journalist fact-checking, threat intel reconnaissance, background research, due-diligence, or incident investigations. It is intended for lawful, ethical analysis and explicitly forbids facilitating illegal access or harassment.
Designed for general OpenClaw agents with browser automation support (agent-browser) where available; also usable with Claude/GPT-style agents relying on web_search/web_fetch fallbacks.
OSINT Investigator v2.1 is a comprehensive open-source intelligence skill that provides 30+ slash commands for reconnaissance, dorking, entity mapping, timeline construction, and report generation. The SKILL.md is extremely detailed with good ethical guardrails and clear confidence rating systems, but it's bloated at ~7000 words with many referenced files (playbooks/, references/, integrations/, qa/) that are not bundled. No scripts are included — everything is prompt-driven, making the skill fragile and dependent on the agent holding enormous context. The passive mode (always-on entity detection) could be intrusive in normal conversation.
Dual-use skill — comprehensive OSINT framework that could be used for legitimate research or potentially for stalking/harassment. The ethical guardrails in the SKILL.md are thorough (explicit decline instructions, public-info-only rule, privacy reminders) but are honor-system only with no technical enforcement. The HR background check and private investigator playbooks push into sensitive territory. Architecture is the weakest point: monolithic SKILL.md, no scripts, missing referenced files, no output contracts.
