clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/tzannetosgiannis/find-peopleWhat This Skill Does
The find-people skill acts as a powerful Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) engine designed specifically for the OpenClaw AI ecosystem. By leveraging AI-powered analysis, this tool synthesizes fragmented information from across the web into structured, actionable intelligence reports. It is optimized for uncovering professional histories, mapping career timelines, conducting due diligence, and performing competitive intelligence. Each request is facilitated through the x402 protocol on the Base network, ensuring a secure, decentralized payment mechanism for high-quality data retrieval. This tool is essential for anyone needing to verify credentials, investigate public figures, or perform background research on business entities.
Installation
To begin using the find-people skill, first ensure you have the OpenClaw environment set up. Install the skill by running: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/tzannetosgiannis/find-people.
Once installed, you must configure your x402 credentials for the required $0.15 USDC payment per request. We recommend creating a configuration file at ~/.x402-config.json with the following format: {"private_key": "0x..."}. Alternatively, you can set the X402_PRIVATE_KEY environment variable. Ensure your connected Base wallet is funded with sufficient USDC to cover requested lookups.
Use Cases
- Hiring & Recruitment: Conduct thorough due diligence on candidates by verifying their past employment, publications, and professional reputation.
- Investment Research: Evaluate startup founders by analyzing their historical performance, past ventures, and industry footprint.
- Strategic Partnerships: Mitigate risk by performing background checks on potential business collaborators.
- Journalistic Research: Gather verified public data for investigative reporting, interview preparation, or feature articles.
- Competitive Intelligence: Track the career trajectories of industry leaders to anticipate market trends and competitor moves.
Example Prompts
- "Find information about the founder of Ethereum and summarize his key contributions."
- "Research the CEO of OpenAI, specifically focusing on their professional background and notable career milestones."
- "Tell me about Elon Musk's career timeline from his early ventures to current projects."
Tips & Limitations
- Cost Efficiency: Each request incurs a $0.15 USDC fee; ensure your wallet is topped up to avoid payment failures.
- Latency: Comprehensive research may require time to aggregate; the API has a 5-minute timeout window. If a timeout occurs, try refining your query to be more specific.
- Accuracy: While the tool uses advanced AI, always cross-reference critical data points for high-stakes decisions.
- Configuration: Storing your private key in the recommended home directory file is the most secure and persistent method for multi-session use.
