Osint

osint

Systematic intelligence gathering on individuals. From a name or handle to a scored dossier with psychoprofile, career map, and confidence grades.

Reverse-engineered and repackaged from smixs/osint-skill v3.2 (MIT) with skillstack plugin conventions.

What it does

Give it a name, handle, LinkedIn URL, or Telegram handle. It runs a phased intelligence pipeline and returns a structured dossier with:

• Career map with timeline and pattern analysis
• Psychoprofile (MBTI + Big Five) from behavioral signals
• Confidence grades (A/B/C/D) on every fact
• Entry points — how to approach the person
• Depth Score (1-10) — objective quality measure
• Cost tracking — total API spend per research session

Brave Search	(built into Claude Code)	2,000 queries/month
Jina AI	JINA_API_KEY	Yes
Apify	APIFY_API_TOKEN	~$5/month credit
Parallel AI	PARALLEL_API_KEY	Yes

Research Pipeline

Phase 0: Tooling Self-Check      → diagnose.sh
Phase 1: Seed Collection         → parallel search across all engines
Phase 1.5: Internal Intelligence → Telegram, email, vault (BEFORE external)
Phase 2: Platform Extraction     → LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube
Phase 3: Cross-Reference         → facts verified, graded A/B/C/D
Phase 4: Psychoprofile           → MBTI, Big Five, communication style
Phase 5: Completeness Check      → Depth Score 1-10 + 9 coverage checks
Phase 6: Dossier Output          → formatted dossier from template
