What it does

Data Broker Removal is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Get your personal info off people-search and data-broker sites — a prioritized opt-out plan that targets the sites that matter and keeps them from reappearing. Use when asked to remove my info from the internet, opt out of data brokers, my address/phone is on people-search sites, or reduce my digital footprint.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Security, covering OSINT. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to remove my info from the internet
  • Opt out of data brokers
  • My address/phone is on people-search sites
  • Reduce my digital footprint

Example prompts

  • “/data-broker-removal”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Self-search to map exposure. Search your name + city to see what's actually listed and where — target from reality, not a generic list.
  2. Hit the high-impact brokers first. The largest aggregators feed the smaller ones; removing them has outsized effect.
  3. Follow each site's real opt-out. Use the site's official opt-out page; verify carefully and don't submit more than required.
  4. Suppress at the source. Reduce public-record exposure, opt out of marketing data sharing, and lock down accounts so brokers have less to…
  5. Recheck on a cadence. Listings return; schedule periodic re-scans and re-removals — it's maintenance, not one-and-done.
  6. Mind safety and scams. For a genuine safety threat, prioritize and consider expert help; avoid "removal" services that are themselves data…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Data Broker Removal loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 144 tokens; SKILL.md has 534 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~144
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

description
Get your personal info off people-search and data-broker sites — a prioritized opt-out plan that targets the sites that matter and keeps them from reappearing. Use when asked to remove my info from the internet, opt out of data brokers, my address/phone is on people-search sites, or reduce my digital footprint. Produces a prioritized target list (the high-traffic brokers first), the opt-out method for each, a suppression-at-source plan so data stops flowing back, a recheck cadence, and safe-handling cautions for the personal data you'll be submitting.

Data-Broker Removal

Your home address, phone, relatives, and past addresses are listed on dozens of people-search sites — scraped and resold. You can't clear all of them forever, but you can remove the highest-impact ones and slow the reappearance. This gives a prioritized opt-out plan: which brokers to hit first, how to opt out of each, and how to reduce the sources feeding them.

What This Skill Produces

  • A prioritized target list — the biggest/most-visible brokers and people-search sites first, where removal matters most
  • The opt-out method per site — the specific route (opt-out form, email, verification steps) for each
  • Source suppression — reducing what feeds the brokers (public records settings, marketing opt-outs, tightening accounts)
  • A recheck cadence — because listings reappear; when and how to re-scan and re-remove
  • Safe-handling cautions — how to opt out without oversharing new data or falling for fake "removal" services
  • A do-it-yourself vs paid-service note — honest tradeoffs of removal services

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Your goal — general privacy, or a specific worry (safety, harassment, a stalker — changes urgency)
  • What's exposed — address, phone, email, relatives, workplace (from a self-search)
  • Region — determines which brokers and which privacy rights apply
  • Time/effort — DIY or considering a paid removal service
  • Safety context — if there's a safety threat, that reprioritizes everything

Framework: Biggest First, Suppress The Source, Repeat

  1. Self-search to map exposure. Search your name + city to see what's actually listed and where — target from reality, not a generic list.
  2. Hit the high-impact brokers first. The largest aggregators feed the smaller ones; removing them has outsized effect.
  3. Follow each site's real opt-out. Use the site's official opt-out page; verify carefully and don't submit more than required.
  4. Suppress at the source. Reduce public-record exposure, opt out of marketing data sharing, and lock down accounts so brokers have less to re-scrape.
  5. Recheck on a cadence. Listings return; schedule periodic re-scans and re-removals — it's maintenance, not one-and-done.
  6. Mind safety and scams. For a genuine safety threat, prioritize and consider expert help; avoid "removal" services that are themselves data grabs.

Output Format

Data-broker removal: goal [x] · [region] · [DIY/service]

Map it: self-search results → what's exposed.

Remove (priority order)

  1. [Major broker] — opt out via [method/URL type], verify by [step].
  2. [Broker] — [method]. … (highest-traffic first)

Suppress the source: [public-record/marketing/account settings]. Recheck: every [1–3 months] — re-scan and re-remove. Cautions: submit only required info · avoid shady "removal" services · [safety note if relevant].

Quality Checks

  • Starts from a real self-search, not a generic list
  • Prioritizes the highest-impact brokers first
  • Gives the specific opt-out method per site
  • Includes source-suppression so data stops flowing back
  • Sets a recheck cadence (reappearance is expected)
  • Cautions against oversharing and fake removal services
  • Reprioritizes for genuine safety threats

Anti-Patterns

  • Treating it as one-and-done — listings come back.
  • Random order instead of biggest-impact-first.
  • Oversharing extra data in the opt-out itself.
  • Ignoring the source so brokers just re-scrape.
  • Recommending a sketchy removal service that harvests data.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "How do I get my home address off those people-search sites?"
  • "Remove my personal info from data brokers."
  • "My phone number and relatives are showing up online — help."
  • "I want to shrink my digital footprint for safety reasons."
  • "Are data-removal services worth it, or can I do it myself?"
