SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Investigators often do not know which tool or technique fits a given OSINT task, and manually searching for the right service wastes time. This Skill routes tool discovery through the Navigator CLI so agents can find vetted investigative tools without handling credentials directly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - OSINT Tool Discovery: Find tools for domains, usernames, images, maps, archives, networks, verification, geolocation, company intelligence, and country-specific research using navigator tools find and navigator tools show. - Credential-Safe Authentication: Check connection status with navigator auth status; tokens stay in the OS keychain and never appear in prompts, files, or command arguments. - Evidence Discipline: Preserve source IDs, timestamps, URLs, and limitations, and treat sanctions, PEP, and identity matches as leads requiring verification rather than conclusions. - Use Case: An investigator researching a Norwegian company runs a tool discovery query for company registries, inspects the returned tool record, and cites the underlying source URL in the research plan. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to find an OSINT tool for investigating a company registry in Norway using Navigator.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find OSINT tools for an investigation?

Run `navigator tools find` with a query describing the task, such as a company registry or username search, then inspect the result with `navigator tools show`. Save the tool identifier, retrieval time, and documented limitations with your research plan.

When should I use Navigator instead of regular web search?

Use Navigator for discovering a specific investigative tool or technique you do not already know. Use ordinary web research for narrative reporting, current articles, and source pages, since Navigator does not replace browser, search, or archival work.

How do I check if Navigator is connected and authenticated?

Run `navigator auth status` to verify the connection. If it reports no verified connection, ask the operator to run the product's reconnect command; never paste the token into a prompt, file, or command.

Can I use Navigator in an offline or sensitive investigation?

Do not contact Navigator in sensitive or offline investigations unless the operator explicitly authorizes network access. Record the skip and rely on local research material or the available offline tool catalogue instead.

Are Navigator sanctions or identity matches proof of wrongdoing?

No. Sanctions, PEP, identity, and entity-resolution matches are leads or records to verify, not conclusions about a person or organization. Always cite the underlying source URL when reporting a result.
