jord0-cmdSkillRECON
Deep technical research that persists. Use when: exploring new technologies, investigating frameworks, comparative analysis of tools, understanding complex systems, or any research task that should be saved for future reference. Invokes Claude's built-in research agent and auto-saves results to a knowledge base for retrieval across sessions.

AnthropicSkillanalyze
Answer data questions -- from quick lookups to full analyses. Use when looking up a single metric, investigating what's driving a trend or drop, comparing segments over time, or preparing a formal data report for stakeholders.

NVIDIASkillresearch
Before designing a feature, research how comparable libraries solve the problem, check best practices, known pitfalls, and upstream changes. Use when starting a new feature, investigating an unfamiliar area, or the user asks to research something.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

OSINT Reconnaissance
Methodology
Phase 1 — Scope definition and initial collection
Target: domain, IP ranges, org name, LinkedIn company page, stock ticker
Deliverables: attack surface map, employee list, technology stack, exposed assetsPhase 2 — Domain and infrastructure enumeration
# DNS enumeration
dig +any target.com
nslookup -type=ANY target.com
fierce --domain target.com
dnsx -d target.com -a -aaaa -cname -mx -ns -txt
# ASN and IP range discovery
whois -h whois.radb.net -- '-i origin AS12345'
bgp.he.net — manual lookup
amass intel -org "Target Corp"
# Certificate transparency (fast subdomain discovery)
curl -s "https://crt.sh/?q=%.target.com&output=json" | jq '.[].name_value' | sort -uPhase 3 — Subdomain enumeration
# Passive (no direct target contact)
amass enum -passive -d target.com
subfinder -d target.com -all
assetfinder target.com
findomain -t target.com
# Active (sends DNS queries)
gobuster dns -d target.com -w /usr/share/seclists/Discovery/DNS/subdomains-top1million-110000.txt
puredns bruteforce /usr/share/seclists/Discovery/DNS/bitquark-subdomains-top100000.txt target.com
# Combine and resolve
cat passive.txt active.txt | sort -u | httpx -status-code -title -tech-detectPhase 4 — Email harvesting
theHarvester -d target.com -l 500 -b google,bing,yahoo,linkedin,twitter
hunter.io API — pattern discovery + verification
phonebook.cz — email/subdomain/URL search
emailrep.io — reputation scoring
# LinkedIn scraping (respect ToS — use during authorized engagements)
linkedin2username.py -c "Target Corp" # generate username formatsPhase 5 — Technology fingerprinting
# Web technology
whatweb target.com
wappalyzer CLI — browser-based fingerprinting
builtwith.com — technology profile
# Cloud provider and CDN
clouddetect.py target.com
nmap -sV -p 80,443,8080,8443 target.com
# WAF detection
wafw00f https://target.com
nmap --script http-waf-detect target.comPhase 6 — Employee and social reconnaissance
LinkedIn: employees, roles, technology mentions in profiles
GitHub: employee repos — leaked credentials, internal tool names, API endpoints
Twitter/X: security event mentions, tool names, incident indicators
Glassdoor: job postings reveal technology stack
Indeed job listings: mention specific products, frameworks, versionsPhase 7 — Exposed credentials and secrets
# GitHub dorking
"target.com" password site:github.com
"target.com" api_key site:github.com
"@target.com" site:pastebin.com
# Automated credential search
trufflehog git https://github.com/target-org/
gitrob --github-access-token <token> target-org
gitleaks detect --source=.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
