osint-investigator
Deep OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) investigations. Use when the user wants to research, find, or investigate any person, place, organisation, username, domain, IP address, phone number, image, vehicle, or object using publicly available information. Triggers on phrases like "find information on", "investigate", "look up", "who is", "trace this", "dig into", "OSINT search", "background check", or any request to gather open-source intelligence about a target. Performs deep multi-source analysis across web search, social media, DNS/WHOIS, image search, maps, public records, and more — returning a structured intelligence report.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/cineglobe/osint-investigatorWhat This Skill Does
The osint-investigator skill is a comprehensive toolkit for OpenClaw designed to perform deep Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) gathering. It acts as an automated investigative agent that parses a target—whether it be a person, organization, domain, or digital identifier—and executes a multi-layered reconnaissance mission. By mapping the target to specific research modules, the skill orchestrates parallel queries across web search engines, DNS/WHOIS databases, social media platforms, and specialized IP intelligence services. The output is a structured, actionable intelligence report that synthesizes data points into a cohesive profile, minimizing the manual labor traditionally required for background checks or digital footprint analysis.
Installation
To integrate the OSINT Investigator into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/cineglobe/osint-investigator
Ensure that your OpenClaw instance has the necessary permissions for external network requests, as this skill relies heavily on querying public internet databases and social media endpoints.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for journalists verifying sources, security researchers assessing digital footprints, investigators performing authorized background checks, or professionals conducting due diligence on domains and companies. It can quickly pivot from a simple username to identifying linked accounts, IP registration details, and recent public activity associated with the entity.
Example Prompts
- "Investigate the website tech-solutions-inc.com and provide a report on its ownership, DNS records, and any associated social media profiles."
- "Can you find information on the username 'shadow_tech99'? I need to know which platforms they are active on and their recent public activity."
- "Please perform a background check on the individual John Q. Public, focusing on his professional presence on LinkedIn and any public records or GitHub repositories."
Tips & Limitations
To maximize the efficacy of this skill, ensure that the initial prompt provides as much context as possible—such as location or associated full names for people. While the tool is highly automated, users should be aware that results depend on the availability and privacy settings of the targets. Always cross-reference extracted data, as false positives can occur in public record searches. This tool is intended for ethical, lawful intelligence gathering only. Users must comply with the terms of service of the platforms being queried and adhere to all local laws regarding privacy and digital surveillance.
