Personal investigator / people lookup skill. Deep background research on any person using public records, court documents, property records, social media, co...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says (OSINT / people search), but it explicitly tells the agent to read local Google Takeout directories, message archives, and to run a memory_search — actions that can expose private contacts, messages, and other sensitive personal data. Before installing, consider: 1) Do not allow autonomous invocation if you don't want the agent to search your local files or memory without explicit confirmation; disable or require permission prompts. 2) Review and run the included scripts in a sandbox/isolated environment to verify they behave as expected. 3) If you won't provide access to local archives or agent memory, the skill's usefulness will be limited; only enable it when you control the target data and have lawful consent. 4) Be aware of legal/ethical risks (doxxing, harassment, privacy laws) — only use for legitimate, permitted investigations. 5) If you approve installation, audit browser tool usage and any logs for unintended data exfiltration and consider restricting the skill's ability to access the agent's stored memory and local filesystem.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pi
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is classified as suspicious due to explicit instructions in `SKILL.md` to access highly sensitive local user data. Specifically, Phase 1 of the 'Investigation Protocol' instructs the AI agent to `grep` the user's `data/google-takeout/` directory for contacts, Google Pay transactions, and call history. This directly contradicts the 'Privacy & Ethics' section, which states, 'Only use publicly available information.' While there is no evidence of data exfiltration to an external attacker, this instruction represents a significant privacy violation and a design flaw that allows the agent to access private user data without clear, specific consent for this action, going beyond the scope of 'public records' OSINT.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, included reference docs, and the three helper scripts (FEC, Sunbiz, people search) are coherent with a people‑lookup/OSINT tool; required resources are proportional to that stated purpose (no unrelated cloud keys or odd binaries).
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md explicitly instructs the agent to search local artifacts (Google Takeout paths, Google Pay, call history, WhatsApp/SMS archives) and run `memory_search` to gather identity anchors. It also directs use of a browser tool (profile="openclaw") for JS‑rendered portals. Those instructions expand the skill's runtime scope into private local data and agent memory which are sensitive and not gated by declared requirements.
Install Mechanism
No install spec (instruction-only) and included scripts use standard, visible shell tooling (curl, jq, grep). There are no downloads or external installers, so nothing is written to disk beyond the provided scripts.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or external credentials (good). It references services that may require credentials (PACER) but does not request them. The FEC script uses a harmless DEMO_KEY. Still, instructions to access local data and memory increase the effective privilege the skill will use at runtime despite no declared env requirements.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true, does not modify other skills, and contains no code that attempts to persist or escalate privileges. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default (platform normal), which combined with the above concerns increases the attack/abuse surface.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pi - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pi - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
