What it does

Ip Lookup is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Look up IP addresses and your own public IP with zero API keys — geolocation, ISP/ASN, and hosting flags via ip-api.com and ipify through curl. Use when asked what's my public IP, where is this IP from, whose network is this address, or is this IP a VPN/datacenter. Produces the lookup with ISP, ASN, and location fields interpreted honestly (city-level accuracy caveats included), and the rerunnable command.

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.

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 whats my public IP
  • Where is this IP from
  • Whose network is this address
  • Is this IP a VPN/datacenter

Example prompts

  • “/ip-lookup”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Your own IP: curl -s https://api.ipify.org (v4) · curl -s https://api64.ipify.org (v6-preferring) — one word of output, script-safe. Also…
  2. The lookup: curl -s "http://ip-api.com/json/8.8.8.8?fields=status,country,regionName,city,isp,org,as,proxy,hosting,query" — the fields…
  3. ASN is the real identity: "AS15169 Google LLC" tells you more than any city field — datacenter ranges geolocate to corporate…
  4. Accuracy honesty, every time: country is reliable, region mostly, city is a coin-flip-adjacent estimate, and coordinates are the ISP's…
  5. The purpose boundary: log triage, debugging, network identification, abuse-report addressing — yes. Attempts to physically locate or…

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.ipify.org
    • api64.ipify.org
    • ip-api.com

    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

Ip Lookup loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 555 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~105
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
Look up IP addresses and your own public IP with zero API keys — geolocation, ISP/ASN, and hosting flags via ip-api.com and ipify through curl. Use when asked what's my public IP, where is this IP from, whose network is this address, or is this IP a VPN/datacenter. Produces the lookup with ISP, ASN, and location fields interpreted honestly (city-level accuracy caveats included), and the rerunnable command.

IP Lookup Skill

"Whose IP is this?" comes up in log triage, abuse reports, debugging, and plain curiosity — and keyless services answer it: ipify for "what's my IP," ip-api.com for "what's that IP." This skill fetches, reads the fields that matter (ASN and ISP are usually the real answer; city is a guess wearing coordinates), and holds the two honesty lines the domain needs: IP geolocation is approximate, and none of this is a person's identity.

What This Skill Produces

  • The lookup — country/region/city, ISP, org, ASN, and the proxy/hosting flags where available
  • The interpretation — what the fields actually establish ("a Hetzner datacenter IP in Falkenstein" vs. "a residential Comcast line, roughly Denver")
  • Your-own-IP answers — v4 and v6 when both matter
  • The command — exact curl, rerunnable

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The IP (or "mine") — v4 or v6; a hostname is fine (it gets resolved first — say so)
  • The purpose — log triage wants the ASN/hosting read; debugging wants "is my egress IP what I think"; abuse-report prep wants the network owner — the interpretation follows it

Framework: The Calls and the Honesty Lines

  1. Your own IP: curl -s https://api.ipify.org (v4) · curl -s https://api64.ipify.org (v6-preferring) — one word of output, script-safe. Also embedded in most routers' complaints, but this is the clean answer.
  2. The lookup: curl -s "http://ip-api.com/json/8.8.8.8?fields=status,country,regionName,city,isp,org,as,proxy,hosting,query" — the fields parameter keeps it tight; proxy and hosting flags answer the VPN/datacenter question directly. Free tier is HTTP and rate-limited (~45/min) — fine for lookups, not for bulk scans.
  3. ASN is the real identity: "AS15169 Google LLC" tells you more than any city field — datacenter ranges geolocate to corporate registrations, not servers. Lead the interpretation with network ownership; treat city as "roughly."
  4. Accuracy honesty, every time: country is reliable, region mostly, city is a coin-flip-adjacent estimate, and coordinates are the ISP's location as often as the user's. Never present IP geolocation as locating a person or address — both wrong and the wrong thing to help with.
  5. The purpose boundary: log triage, debugging, network identification, abuse-report addressing — yes. Attempts to physically locate or unmask a specific individual — no; that's the line, and the accuracy truth above is also why it wouldn't work.

Output Format

IP Lookup: [ip]

[The interpretation first: "Datacenter IP — AS24940 Hetzner, Germany; hosting flag set. Not a residential user."]

FieldValue
[Country · region/city (labeled approximate) · ISP · org · ASN · proxy/hosting flags]

Source: [ip-api.com / ipify] · rerun: [exact curl] IP geolocation is approximate (city-level at best) and identifies networks, not people.

Quality Checks

  • The interpretation (network ownership + type) leads; raw fields follow
  • City/coordinates are labeled approximate every time
  • The hosting/proxy flags are read when the question was VPN/datacenter-shaped
  • Hostnames were resolved and the resolved IP shown
  • The networks-not-people line appears

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not present city/coordinates as a location fix — it's an estimate of the ISP as often as the user
  • Do not assist with locating or unmasking individuals — networks and abuse contacts, not people
  • Do not bulk-loop a rate-limited free endpoint — for log volumes, dedupe first and note the limit
  • Do not answer "what's my IP" from memory or the environment — fetch it; NAT and VPNs make assumptions wrong
  • Do not conflate ISP and org — the as/org fields differ exactly when it's interesting (resellers, VPNs, corporate egress)

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "What's my public IP?"
  • "Where is this IP from?"
  • "Is this IP a VPN/datacenter?"
