OSINT Autopilot

Purpose: eliminate the "thin first pass, then user pushes for more" failure. When the user says run OSINT/recon on <domain> (authorized), execute the whole pipeline to completion and hand back the consolidated workbook — no stopping to ask except the two hard gates below.

Read the companion osint-methodology skill for the framework; this skill is the executable runbook. Feedback memory osint-full-pipeline-default governs the default.

Hard gates (the ONLY reasons to stop and ask)

1. Authorization — if not already asserted, ask the one scope question, then proceed. (Here it's typically already signed.)
2. Stage 6 (active exploitation) — BOLA/IDOR, credential replay, injection confirmation. Never run under autopilot; present the ranked target queue and wait for arming.
3. Out-of-scope siblings — a newly-discovered sibling domain/brand (e.g. <company>.io when scope was .com). Flag; don't scan until confirmed.

Everything in Stages 1–5 runs without pausing for questions.

Run sequence

Let S = ~/.claude/skills/osint-autopilot/scripts.

1. Deterministic recon (Stages 1–3 + harvest + breach + ports)

bash $S/recon_pipeline.sh <domain>

Creates ~/Research/engagements/<domain>/ and populates evidence (DNS/WHOIS/RDAP/email-sec, subdomain union via subfinder+certspotter+crt.sh, dig-resolve, HTTP probe, identity fabric, /version disclosure, S3 takeover check, gau+wayback+JS harvest, HudsonRock breach, bounded public-IP port scan), hashes everything, and splits responsive hosts into buckets/bucket-NN.

Host notes baked in: uses dig/curl (ProjectDiscovery dnsx/httpx segfault on this M1 — cgo m1cpu); nmap is time-capped at 10 min so it can't stall.

2. Multi-agent per-host fan-out (Stage 4 exposure)

Read buckets/COUNT and the buckets/bucket-* paths, then launch the workflow (ffuf must be on PATH — go install github.com/ffuf/ffuf/v2@latest if missing):

Workflow({ scriptPath: "<S>/host_enum.workflow.js",
  args: { domain:"<domain>", engDir:"~/Research/engagements/<domain>" (absolute),
          ffuf:"<gopath>/bin/ffuf", wordlist:"<S>/wordlist.txt",
          buckets:[ absolute bucket-00 … bucket-NN ] } })

Pass args as a real JSON object, NOT a stringified one — the harness hands args to the script verbatim; a string makes args.domain/args.buckets undefined and only the synthesize agent runs. The script fails loudly if args are malformed. engDir must be absolute. buckets = absolute paths of every buckets/bucket-* file (read buckets/COUNT).

It fans out ffuf content-discovery + JS/endpoint analysis per bucket (agentType general-purpose), then synthesizes a ranked BOLA/IDOR target queue. Save synthesis to evidence/stage6-content/SYNTHESIS.md. Optional screenshots: gowitness scan file -f <urls> --screenshot-path evidence/stage6-screens --write-db (Chrome required).

3. Verify headlines yourself (do NOT trust agent output blindly)

Re-curl every CONFIRMED-worthy claim before reporting it: exposed secrets (fetch the JS/vars file), /version disclosures, Cognito/Auth0 config, any "unauth admin 200". Downgrade anything you can't reproduce.

4. Auto-findings + workbook

build_xlsx.py requires the openpyxl pip package (pip install -r $S/requirements.txt if missing).

python3 $S/findings_gen.py <domain>     # evidence -> findings/findings.csv (rules engine)
python3 $S/build_xlsx.py  <domain>      # findings.csv + evidence -> <domain>-osint-consolidated.xlsx

findings_gen.py encodes the rubric (non-prod exposure, CDN/WAF-bypass origins, internal-IP leak, DMARC/SPF, /version disclosure, JS secrets, S3 takeover, identity fabric, breach severity, WordPress, port exposure). Hand-add any nuanced findings the rules miss by editing findings.csv, then re-run build_xlsx.py.

5. Report

Give the consolidated .xlsx path + a short severity summary, then present the two open gates (Stage 6 queue + any out-of-scope siblings). Offer passive CVE mapping against disclosed versions as a next step.

Deliverable

~/Research/engagements/<domain>/:

• <domain>-osint-consolidated.xlsx — 9–10 tabs (Summary, Findings, Subdomains, Live Hosts, API Endpoints, Secrets, Ports, Internal-IP-Leak, Screenshots)
• findings/findings.csv · evidence/** (+ .sha256) · evidence/stage6-content/SYNTHESIS.md · run-log.jsonl

Time budget

Small org (<100 hosts): ~15–25 min wall-clock. Medium (100–1K): ~30–60 min, dominated by the fan-out workflow and gau harvest.

Scale note

The fan-out is ~1 agent per 18 hosts. Keep total agents ≤15 (default guideline); for >270 responsive hosts, raise bucket size in recon_pipeline.sh (split -l) rather than agent count.
