What is Personal Investigator (PI)?
The PI skill is a professional-grade investigation module designed for Openclaw Skills. It functions as a methodical personal investigator, systematically scouring public records, court documents, property data, and social media to provide a 360-degree view of a target individual. Unlike simple search tools, this skill uses cross-referencing logic to connect dots between disparate data sources like SEC filings, county appraisers, and state corporate registries.
By leveraging advanced identity anchoring, the skill ensures high accuracy when disambiguating common names. Whether you are performing due diligence, verifying professional credentials, or conducting deep background research, this skill automates the labor-intensive process of manual OSINT gathering into a structured, actionable report.
Personal Investigator (PI) Use Cases
- Performing thorough background checks for personal or professional due diligence.
- Investigating civil and criminal court records across federal and state jurisdictions.
- Verifying corporate affiliations, officer roles, and business ownership history.
- Mapping professional career trajectories using LinkedIn metadata and industry press.
- Identifying real estate holdings and historical property transactions via county appraiser data.
How Personal Investigator (PI) Works
- The agent begins by establishing identity anchors (full name, DOB, known locations) from internal data or user input.
- It executes a multi-layered search strategy, beginning with professional and career-based platforms to verify employment.
- The skill queries real estate databases and Zillow profiles to determine property ownership and physical footprints.
- It systematically checks legal databases, including PACER for federal cases and specific state clerk portals for local dockets.
- Business registries like Florida Sunbiz or OpenCorporates are searched to reveal corporate officer roles and LLC memberships.
- Social media platforms and people-search aggregators are analyzed to find family connections and digital presence.
- All findings are cross-referenced to filter out false positives and compiled into a structured Investigation Report.
Personal Investigator (PI) Setup
To integrate the personal investigator capabilities into your agent via Openclaw Skills, follow these configuration steps:
# Install the PI skill into your local agent environment
openclaw install skill pi
# (Recommended) Link your local data sources for identity anchoring
mkdir -p data/google-takeout
# Copy your contacts or call logs into the data directory for internal cross-referencing
Ensure your agent has the browser tool enabled for accessing JavaScript-heavy court portals.
Personal Investigator (PI) Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes its findings into a modular taxonomy for easy parsing and review:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Identity | Core demographics: full name, DOB, phone numbers, and email aliases. |
| Career | Professional history, SEC filings, and industry-specific press mentions. |
| Legal | Federal (PACER) and State (Clerk) dockets, including traffic and civil suits. |
| Property | Current and historical real estate ownership, specs, and purchase prices. |
| Corporate | Active and dissolved business entities where the target is an officer or agent. |
| Connections | Known family members, spouses, and professional associates derived from public data. |
Personal Investigator (PI) Advanced Features
- Automatic browser-mode fallback for navigating complex, JS-rendered state court portals.
- Deep-link integration with the Wayback Machine to recover deleted professional biographies or personal sites.
- Advanced FEC donation tracking to identify political and philanthropic affiliations.
- Neighbor-data analysis via ClustrMaps to verify physical address history and household members.
- Confidence-weighted reporting that explicitly flags unverified leads or potential name-match errors.
