docs(website): dedicated page per bundled + optional skill (#14929)
Generates a full dedicated Docusaurus page for every one of the 132 skills
(73 bundled + 59 optional) under website/docs/user-guide/skills/{bundled,optional}/<category>/.
Each page carries the skill's description, metadata (version, author, license,
dependencies, platform gating, tags, related skills cross-linked to their own
pages), and the complete SKILL.md body that Hermes loads at runtime.
Previously the two catalog pages just listed skills with a one-line blurb and
no way to see what the skill actually did — users had to go read the source
repo. Now every skill has a browsable, searchable, cross-linked reference in
the docs.
- website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py — generator that reads skills/ and
optional-skills/, writes per-skill pages, regenerates both catalog indexes,
and rewrites the Skills section of sidebars.ts. Handles MDX escaping
(outside fenced code blocks: curly braces, unsafe HTML-ish tags) and
rewrites relative references/*.md links to point at the GitHub source.
- website/docs/reference/skills-catalog.md — regenerated; each row links to
the new dedicated page.
- website/docs/reference/optional-skills-catalog.md — same.
- website/sidebars.ts — Skills section now has Bundled / Optional subtrees
with one nested category per skill folder.
- .github/workflows/{docs-site-checks,deploy-site}.yml — run the generator
before docusaurus build so CI stays in sync with the source SKILL.md files.
Build verified locally with `npx docusaurus build`. Only remaining warnings
are pre-existing broken link/anchor issues in unrelated pages.

# Sherlock OSINT Username Search
|
||||
|
||||
Hunt down social media accounts by username across 400+ social networks using the [Sherlock Project](https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock).
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
- User asks to find accounts associated with a username
|
||||
- User wants to check username availability across platforms
|
||||
- User is conducting OSINT or reconnaissance research
|
||||
- User asks "where is this username registered?" or similar
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- Sherlock CLI installed: `pipx install sherlock-project` or `pip install sherlock-project`
|
||||
- Alternatively: Docker available (`docker run -it --rm sherlock/sherlock`)
|
||||
- Network access to query social platforms
|
||||
|
||||
## Procedure
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Check if Sherlock is Installed
|
||||
|
||||
**Before doing anything else**, verify sherlock is available:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sherlock --version
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the command fails:
|
||||
- Offer to install: `pipx install sherlock-project` (recommended) or `pip install sherlock-project`
|
||||
- **Do NOT** try multiple installation methods — pick one and proceed
|
||||
- If installation fails, inform the user and stop
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Extract Username
|
||||
|
||||
**Extract the username directly from the user's message if clearly stated.**
|
||||
|
||||
Examples where you should **NOT** use clarify:
|
||||
- "Find accounts for nasa" → username is `nasa`
|
||||
- "Search for johndoe123" → username is `johndoe123`
|
||||
- "Check if alice exists on social media" → username is `alice`
|
||||
- "Look up user bob on social networks" → username is `bob`
|
||||
|
||||
**Only use clarify if:**
|
||||
- Multiple potential usernames mentioned ("search for alice or bob")
|
||||
- Ambiguous phrasing ("search for my username" without specifying)
|
||||
- No username mentioned at all ("do an OSINT search")
|
||||
|
||||
When extracting, take the **exact** username as stated — preserve case, numbers, underscores, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Build Command
|
||||
|
||||
**Default command** (use this unless user specifically requests otherwise):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sherlock --print-found --no-color "<username>" --timeout 90
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Optional flags** (only add if user explicitly requests):
|
||||
- `--nsfw` — Include NSFW sites (only if user asks)
|
||||
- `--tor` — Route through Tor (only if user asks for anonymity)
|
||||
|
||||
**Do NOT ask about options via clarify** — just run the default search. Users can request specific options if needed.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Execute Search
|
||||
|
||||
Run via the `terminal` tool. The command typically takes 30-120 seconds depending on network conditions and site count.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example terminal call:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"command": "sherlock --print-found --no-color \"target_username\"",
|
||||
"timeout": 180
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Parse and Present Results
|
||||
|
||||
Sherlock outputs found accounts in a simple format. Parse the output and present:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Summary line:** "Found X accounts for username 'Y'"
|
||||
2. **Categorized links:** Group by platform type if helpful (social, professional, forums, etc.)
|
||||
3. **Output file location:** Sherlock saves results to `<username>.txt` by default
|
||||
|
||||
**Example output parsing:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
[+] Instagram: https://instagram.com/username
|
||||
[+] Twitter: https://twitter.com/username
|
||||
[+] GitHub: https://github.com/username
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Present findings as clickable links when possible.
|
||||
|
||||
## Pitfalls
|
||||
|
||||
### No Results Found
|
||||
If Sherlock finds no accounts, this is often correct — the username may not be registered on checked platforms. Suggest:
|
||||
- Checking spelling/variation
|
||||
- Trying similar usernames with `?` wildcard: `sherlock "user?name"`
|
||||
- The user may have privacy settings or deleted accounts
|
||||
|
||||
### Timeout Issues
|
||||
Some sites are slow or block automated requests. Use `--timeout 120` to increase wait time, or `--site` to limit scope.
|
||||
|
||||
### Tor Configuration
|
||||
`--tor` requires Tor daemon running. If user wants anonymity but Tor isn't available, suggest:
|
||||
- Installing Tor service
|
||||
- Using `--proxy` with an alternative proxy
|
||||
|
||||
### False Positives
|
||||
Some sites always return "found" due to their response structure. Cross-reference unexpected results with manual checks.
|
||||
|
||||
### Rate Limiting
|
||||
Aggressive searches may trigger rate limits. For bulk username searches, add delays between calls or use `--local` with cached data.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
### pipx (recommended)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pipx install sherlock-project
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### pip
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install sherlock-project
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Docker
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker pull sherlock/sherlock
|
||||
docker run -it --rm sherlock/sherlock <username>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux packages
|
||||
Available on Debian 13+, Ubuntu 22.10+, Homebrew, Kali, BlackArch.
|
||||
|
||||
## Ethical Use
|
||||
|
||||
This tool is for legitimate OSINT and research purposes only. Remind users:
|
||||
- Only search usernames they own or have permission to investigate
|
||||
- Respect platform terms of service
|
||||
- Do not use for harassment, stalking, or illegal activities
|
||||
- Consider privacy implications before sharing results
|
||||
|
||||
## Verification
|
||||
|
||||
After running sherlock, verify:
|
||||
1. Output lists found sites with URLs
|
||||
2. `<username>.txt` file created (default output) if using file output
|
||||
3. If `--print-found` used, output should only contain `[+]` lines for matches
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Interaction
|
||||
|
||||
**User:** "Can you check if the username 'johndoe123' exists on social media?"
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent procedure:**
|
||||
1. Check `sherlock --version` (verify installed)
|
||||
2. Username provided — proceed directly
|
||||
3. Run: `sherlock --print-found --no-color "johndoe123" --timeout 90`
|
||||
4. Parse output and present links
|
||||
|
||||
**Response format:**
|
||||
> Found 12 accounts for username 'johndoe123':
|
||||
>
|
||||
> • https://twitter.com/johndoe123
|
||||
> • https://github.com/johndoe123
|
||||
> • https://instagram.com/johndoe123
|
||||
> • [... additional links]
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Results saved to: johndoe123.txt
