At a glance

Run competitive research like an intelligence agency: eight collection disciplines (OSINT to MASINT), signal-to-inference chains, and fusion.

  • Works in 8 steps: OSINT — The Journalist's Desk → FININT — The Forensic Accountant → GEOINT/DEMOINT — The Cartographer → …
  • One-source research isnt enough
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, Input, Key Concepts and Application, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Intelligence Collection Disciplines is an agent skill from deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills. Run competitive research like an intelligence agency: eight collection disciplines (OSINT to MASINT), signal-to-inference chains, and fusion. Use when one-source research isn't enough.

Its SKILL.md is about 6.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `examples/sample-industrial.md`, `examples/sample.md` and `template.md`).

It sits in Security, covering OSINT. The repository describes itself as: Product Management skills framework built on battle-tested methods for Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, and AI agents.

When your agent uses it

  • One-source research isnt enough
  • Tasks that involve OSINT

Example prompts

  • “/intelligence-collection-disciplines”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. OSINT — The Journalist's Desk
  2. FININT — The Forensic Accountant
  3. GEOINT/DEMOINT — The Cartographer
  4. TECHINT — The Patent Examiner
  5. HUMINT — The Sports Scout
  6. SIGINT — The Wiretap You're Allowed to Have
  7. MASINT — The Satellite Photo
  8. All-Source Fusion — The Situation Room

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1b5a524. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Intelligence Collection Disciplines loads about 6.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,955 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,955 words (~6,563 tokens).

“Stop doing competitive research like a term paper. The intelligence community solved this problem decades ago: they don't collect "data," they run collection disciplines — independent channels, each with its own sources, tradecraft, and blind spots — and then they…”
