Run Claude Osint

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Smoke-test claude-osint
• Its OSINT skills/scripts

Example prompts

• “/run-claude-osint”

Requirements

• Python 3
• Node.js
• A Bash shell
• A credential in AWS_ACCESS_KEY

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1py_compile both helpers.
2. 2secret_scan.py detects AWS key + JWT from stdin (the CI canaries).
3. 3secret_scan.py recursively scans skills/ and emits JSONL (~11 findings — example tokens in the SKILL.md docs).
4. 4Every skills/*/SKILL.md has valid YAML frontmatter with name/description/version/triggers and ≥5 triggers.
5. 5sync-skill-content.sh --check exits 0.
6. 6h1_reference.py fetches one live disclosed report (non-fatal if offline).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 13d9204. 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

  Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • python3
  • pip
  • npm
  • shellcheck

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

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY

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

Context cost

Run Claude Osint loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 462 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~75

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.2k

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

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.
