# osint-agent-skills

Turns your coding agent into an OSINT analyst with methodologies, pivot playbooks and report templates. Useful when you need cited findings instead of confident prose.

## What it does

The package is a folder of markdown and YAML, not a running service. An agent reads `system-prompt.md`, takes on the analyst persona, plans the work through a five-phase intelligence cycle, and pulls lookups from the registries in `tools/`. Findings get written up with `templates/reports/intelligence-report.md`, and `ethics/` sets the legal boundaries plus rules against fabricated results.

You wire it in over MCP, so `npx` fetches it on first run. Claude takes `claude mcp add osint-agent-skills -- npx -y @frangelbarrera/osint-agent-skills`; Codex uses the same line with `codex` in front. Cursor and GitHub Copilot expect a JSON block in their config instead.

Some lookups in `tools/apis.yaml` need an API key, while `tools/free-tools.yaml` lists the ones that don't. Clone the repo with `git clone https://github.com/frangelbarrera/osint-agent-skills` and point the agent at it, otherwise it only sees the MCP tools and none of the methodology files.

## When to use it
- produce a domain report with cited sources
- chain an email address to a domain and its infrastructure
- background a company from public records
- label confidence on every finding
- stay inside legal limits while collecting data

## Example prompts
- Investigate the domain `example.com` with the OSINT Agent Skills methodology and write the full report
- Map the services tied to this IP and show the pivot chain
- Check this email against public sources and cite where each result came from
