At a glance

Check email/username against HIBP v3 breach database. An agent skill from taracodlabs/aiden.

  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, How to Use, Examples and Cautions, plus 1 more section
  • Runs TypeScript scripts from its folder; reaches haveibeenpwned.com; needs HIBP_API_KEY

What it does

Haveibeenpwned is an agent skill from taracodlabs/aiden. Check email/username against HIBP v3 breach database

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `index.ts` and `skill.json`).

The repository describes itself as: Aiden — an autonomous AI agent and work engine built solo. It can operate your browser, terminal, files, apps, APIs, skills and tools, remember context, recover from failures… The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/haveibeenpwned”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in HIBP_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3704204. 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 (TypeScript), which the agent can run.

    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:

    • haveibeenpwned.com

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

  • Credentials

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

    • HIBP_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Haveibeenpwned loads about 879 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 245 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~17
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~879

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

    **Requires:** `HIBP_API_KEY` in `.env` — $3.50/month subscription at haveibeenpwned.com/API/Key

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.

Have I Been Pwned — Breach Checker

Look up whether an email address has appeared in any publicly known data breaches. Uses the Have I Been Pwned v3 API.

Requires: HIBP_API_KEY in .env — $3.50/month subscription at haveibeenpwned.com/API/Key

When to Use

  • User wants to know if their email was part of a data breach
  • User wants a list of breaches an email was found in
  • User is auditing accounts before a security review
  • User asks "was my email leaked" or "has X been pwned"

How to Use

Check a single email for breaches
powershell
$email = "user@example.com"
$key   = $env:HIBP_API_KEY
$url   = "https://haveibeenpwned.com/api/v3/breachedaccount/$([Uri]::EscapeDataString($email))?truncateResponse=false"

$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Headers @{ "hibp-api-key" = $key } -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

if ($null -eq $result) {
    Write-Host "✅ $email was NOT found in any known data breaches."
} else {
    Write-Host "⚠️  $email found in $($result.Count) breach(es):"
    $result | ForEach-Object {
        Write-Host "   • $($_.Name) ($($_.BreachDate)) — $($_.DataClasses -join ', ')"
    }
}
Check which passwords were exposed (pastes)
powershell
$email = "user@example.com"
$key   = $env:HIBP_API_KEY
$url   = "https://haveibeenpwned.com/api/v3/pasteaccount/$([Uri]::EscapeDataString($email))"

$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Headers @{ "hibp-api-key" = $key } -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

if ($null -eq $result) {
    Write-Host "✅ No paste exposures found for $email"
} else {
    Write-Host "Found in $($result.Count) paste(s):"
    $result | Select-Object Source, Title, Date | Format-Table
}
Bulk check a list of emails from a file
powershell
$key   = $env:HIBP_API_KEY
$emails = Get-Content "emails.txt"

foreach ($email in $emails) {
    Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 1600   # respect 1 req/1.5s rate limit
    $url = "https://haveibeenpwned.com/api/v3/breachedaccount/$([Uri]::EscapeDataString($email))"
    $res = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Headers @{ "hibp-api-key" = $key } -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    $status = if ($res) { "PWNED ($($res.Count) breaches)" } else { "Clean" }
    Write-Host "$email — $status"
}

Examples

"Check if test@example.com has been in any breaches" → Run the single-email check above with that address.

"Was my email leaked in the Adobe breach?" → Run the single check; then filter: $result | Where-Object Name -eq 'Adobe'

"Check all emails in a file for breaches" → Use the bulk check snippet — it respects the 1.5s rate limit automatically.

Cautions

  • API key is required — there is no free anonymous tier for the v3 breached-account endpoint
  • Rate limit is 1 request per 1.5 seconds — always add Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 1600 in loops
  • HTTP 404 means the email was not found (not an error) — Invoke-RestMethod -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue handles this silently
  • HIBP does not store plaintext passwords — it only records breach metadata and data class types
  • For password hash checks (k-anonymity model), use the /range/{hash5} endpoint — no API key required
