What it does

Screen Adverse Media is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Screen a person or organisation for adverse media coverage, PEP status, and sanctions exposure — corroboration-gated, returns "review" never "guilty". Use when the user asks to screen someone before onboarding, partnership, or investment; for AML/CTF flows; or for ongoing counterparty monitoring.

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 Capture the flag. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

The user asks to screen someone before onboarding
For AML/CTF flows
For ongoing counterparty monitoring

Example prompts

“review”
“guilty”
“/screen-adverse-media”

Requirements

A credential in STIPPLE_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

Interpret the response.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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:
- stipple.sh
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- STIPPLE_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Screen Adverse Media loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 390 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~80
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.

Screen Adverse Media

Screen a person or organisation for adverse media coverage, PEP (Politically Exposed Person) status, and sanctions exposure. Every hit is corroboration-gated: the screen returns "review", never "guilty", and "nothing found" is never a clean record. Uses the Stipple API (free anonymous tier).

When to use

AML/CTF onboarding (Tranche 2 reforms make this mandatory for more Australian businesses)
Vendor/supplier due diligence before signing
Investor or LP vetting
Ongoing counterparty monitoring (re-run periodically, compare warrant IDs)

Instructions

Get the target. Name of the person or organisation. For document-based screening, a PDF/image of their ID or company extract can also be submitted.

Run the screen.

Name-based (via MCP — the REST intake is document-based):

bash

# Via any MCP client pointed at https://www.stipple.sh/mcp:
# tool: screen_adverse_media
# args: {"name": "John Citizen", "entity_type": "person"}

Document-based (REST — screens the person/org named in the uploaded document):

bash

curl -X POST https://www.stipple.sh/v1/adverse-media \
  -F "file=@company-extract.pdf" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $STIPPLE_API_KEY"

Interpret the response.
- rating — the overall screening result ("review", "clear", etc.)
- hits[] — adverse media articles: date, title, source, URL, summary
- pep[] — PEP signals (empty = none found)
- sanctions[] — sanctions list signals (empty = none found)

Report with the right framing. Non-negotiable framing rules:

Finding	Correct framing
Hits found	"Review recommended — see articles below" (never "guilty")
Nothing found	"No corroborated adverse media found — this is NOT a clean record; coverage is bounded by the source list"
PEP signal	"PEP status identified — enhanced due diligence may apply"

Contextualize. Every hit is corroborated across sources before inclusion — but the screen is the start of human review, not the end of it. Date-range and source-coverage limitations are real.

Output format

screening rating: review

adverse media hits:
  - [2025-11-02] Court action over unpaid supplier debts
      source: The Age  https://...
  - [2024-06-18] ASIC disqualification
      source: ASIC media releases  https://...

PEP signals: 0
sanctions list signals: 0

This screen returns "review", never "guilty" — every hit is corroboration-gated.

Limitations and Safety

Screening processes personal data and potentially damaging allegations through a hosted third party. Confirm a lawful purpose, obtain any required approval, send only the minimum identifiers needed, and verify current retention, residency, access, and deletion terms before transmission.
Name matches, PEP signals, sanctions hits, and media reports can be incomplete, stale, misattributed, or false. Corroborate every consequential result with the original source and authoritative registers; never publish an allegation as fact.
This is not a legal AML/CTF determination. A qualified human reviewer must resolve identity ambiguity, document the reasoning, and provide an appropriate correction or appeal path before rejecting or restricting a person or organization.

Notes

Costs 3 credits per screen; free weekly allowance applies
For AML flows, pair with check-identity-pack (identity) and verify-document (document genuineness)
"Nothing found" ≠ "clean record" — always state this in reports
Free key at https://www.stipple.sh for metering beyond the anonymous allowance
