Customization

Before executing, check for user customizations at: ~/.opencode/skills/CORE/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/OSINT/

If this directory exists, load and apply any PREFERENCES.md, configurations, or resources found there. These override default behavior. If the directory does not exist, proceed with skill defaults.

OSINT Skill

Open Source Intelligence gathering for authorized investigations.

Voice Notification

When executing a workflow, do BOTH:

Send voice notification:

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8888/notify \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"message": "Running the WORKFLOWNAME workflow from the OSINT skill"}' \
  > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Output text notification:

Running the **WorkflowName** workflow from the **OSINT** skill...

Workflow Routing

Investigation Type	Workflow	Context
People lookup	`Workflows/PeopleLookup.md`	`PeopleTools.md`
Company lookup	`Workflows/CompanyLookup.md`	`CompanyTools.md`
Investment due diligence	`Workflows/CompanyDueDiligence.md`	`CompanyTools.md`
Entity/threat intel	`Workflows/EntityLookup.md`	`EntityTools.md`

Trigger Patterns

People OSINT:

"do OSINT on [person]", "research [person]", "background check on [person]"
"who is [person]", "find info about [person]", "investigate this person" -> Route to Workflows/PeopleLookup.md

Company OSINT:

"do OSINT on [company]", "research [company]", "company intelligence"
"what can you find about [company]", "investigate [company]" -> Route to Workflows/CompanyLookup.md

Investment Due Diligence:

"due diligence on [company]", "vet [company]", "is [company] legitimate"
"assess [company]", "should we work with [company]" -> Route to Workflows/CompanyDueDiligence.md

Entity/Threat Intel:

"investigate [domain]", "threat intelligence on [entity]", "is this domain malicious"
"research this threat actor", "check [domain]", "analyze [entity]" -> Route to Workflows/EntityLookup.md

Authorization (REQUIRED)

Before ANY investigation, verify:

Explicit authorization from client
Clear scope definition
Legal compliance confirmed
Documentation in place

STOP if any checkbox is unchecked. See EthicalFramework.md for details.

Resource Index

File	Purpose
`EthicalFramework.md`	Authorization, legal, ethical boundaries
`Methodology.md`	Collection methods, verification, reporting
`PeopleTools.md`	People search, social media, public records
`CompanyTools.md`	Business databases, DNS, tech profiling
`EntityTools.md`	Threat intel, scanning, malware analysis

Integration

Automatic skill invocations:

Research Skill - Parallel researcher agent deployment (REQUIRED)
Recon Skill - Technical infrastructure reconnaissance

Agent fleet patterns:

Quick lookup: 4-6 agents
Standard investigation: 8-16 agents
Comprehensive due diligence: 24-32 agents

Researcher types:

Researcher	Best For
PerplexityResearcher	Current web data, social media, company updates
DeepResearcher	Academic depth, professional backgrounds
GeminiResearcher	Multi-perspective, cross-domain connections
GrokResearcher	Contrarian analysis, fact-checking

File Organization

Active investigations:

~/.opencode/MEMORY/WORK/$(jq -r '.work_dir' ~/.opencode/MEMORY/STATE/current-work.json)/scratch/YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS_osint-[target]/

Archived reports:

~/.opencode/History/research/YYYY-MM/[target]-osint/

Ethical Guardrails

ALLOWED: Public sources only - websites, social media, public records, search engines, archived content

PROHIBITED: Private data, unauthorized access, social engineering, purchasing breached data, ToS violations
