How to use the Intelwatch Company Profiler agent skill

Updated 2026-10-29 · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data

The Intelwatch Company Profiler is an agent skill that lets an AI agent run the cli-anything-intelwatch command on a company's web domain. The output is a deep profile covering financial data, detected technology stack, and optionally an AI-generated due diligence summary. This guide explains what the skill does, how to install it, how to ask for it in plain language, and what to check before relying on the results.

Quick start

1Check Node.js. Run node -v and npx -v. Node.js 18 or newer with npx on the PATH is required.
2Install the Python package. Run pip install cli-anything-intelwatch to install the command-line tool.
3Test the command. Run cli-anything-intelwatch --help, then profile a domain you are allowed to research, such as kpmg.fr.
4Download the skill ZIP. Get the ZIP from the download page of this directory.
5Install the skill. Unzip into ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use or .claude/skills/ for one project, or upload the ZIP under Settings → Capabilities → Skills in the Claude apps.
6Ask for a profile. Name the company's domain and state whether you need the AI due diligence summary.

What an agent skill is and what this one does

An agent skill is a folder with instructions that tells an AI agent how to perform a task. This skill's instructions tell the agent how to call an external command-line tool. The skill itself does not contain company data or analysis logic.

Once installed, the agent can run cli-anything-intelwatch with a domain such as kpmg.fr. The tool produces a human-readable breakdown of the company. The skill is aimed at sales research and M&A-style company checks, not writing or coding.

Install the Python package and check Node.js

The command-line tool is installed as part of the cli-anything-intelwatch Python package. Before installing, make sure Node.js version 18 or newer is installed and that npx is available on your PATH.

Run the two version checks below. If either command fails, install or fix Node.js before continuing.

Node.js >=18 must be installed and accessible via npx
Run node -v and npx -v to confirm your system meets the requirements

pip install cli-anything-intelwatch

Install the skill folder for Claude

The skill is distributed as a ZIP from the download page. You can add it for your user account, for a single project, or through the Claude apps.

For a personal install, unzip the download into ~/.claude/skills/. For a project-only install, unzip it into the project's .claude/skills/ folder. In the Claude apps, open Settings, go to Capabilities, then Skills, and upload the ZIP there.

Personal: ~/.claude/skills/
Project only: .claude/skills/ inside the project folder
Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills, then upload the ZIP

Run a profile from the terminal

Before asking an agent to use the skill, you can test the tool directly. Pass a company's web domain to the profile command. Add --ai to include the AI due diligence output.

Run --help to see the available options for the command.

Basic profile: profile with a domain name
With AI due diligence: add the --ai flag

cli-anything-intelwatch --help
cli-anything-intelwatch profile kpmg.fr
cli-anything-intelwatch profile kpmg.fr --ai

Ask the agent for a profile in plain language

Once the skill is installed, you do not need to type the command yourself. Name the company's domain and say what you need. The agent should pick the skill when your request matches its purpose.

For M&A-style checks, mention due diligence so the agent knows to use the AI option. For sales research, a plain profile request is usually enough. The source tells the agent to provide the domain name, use --ai for automatic due diligence, and confirm npx is available.

Example: Profile kpmg.fr for a sales call next week.
Example: Run an AI due diligence profile on company-name.com for a possible acquisition.
Example: Give me the technology stack and financial overview for target-client.com.

Safety, limits and what to verify

The skill runs a script and makes network calls: the tool reaches an Intelwatch backend and needs npx on the machine. The skill's instructions do not say which data sources are used, how accurate the output is, or how the AI analysis is produced. Do not use the output for legal or investment decisions without checking it yourself.

Use the tool only on companies, not private individuals. The skill does not address privacy or legal questions around profiling people or surveillance-style research. Do not use it where outbound network calls to the backend are not permitted.

Runs scripts and uses the network
Output accuracy and data sources are not documented in the SKILL.md
Verify important facts before any legal or investment decision
Not suitable for profiling private individuals

What people use it for

Sales teams preparing for a meeting by pulling a quick overview of a prospect by its domain name.
Analysts running a preliminary background check on a competitor or acquisition target.
Developers who want an agent to summarise a company's technology stack from the terminal.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Intelwatch Company Profiler skill free to use?

The source material does not state pricing or licence terms for the skill's use beyond the listed licence of Apache-2.0 for the repository. Check the licence and any terms on the download page before relying on it commercially.

What do I need to run cli-anything-intelwatch?

You need the Python package cli-anything-intelwatch installed with pip, and Node.js version 18 or newer with npx available on your PATH. The tool also makes network calls, so outbound access must be allowed.

How do I install the skill in Claude?

Download the ZIP and unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use or into a project's .claude/skills/ folder. You can also upload the ZIP in the Claude apps under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.

What does the --ai flag do?

The --ai flag asks Intelwatch to add an AI-generated due diligence summary to the profile. The source does not explain how that analysis is produced, so check it before relying on it.

Why doesn't the skill show up or work after I install it?

The SKILL.md frontmatter name line reads >- as a literal value, which can be a formatting artifact. Confirm the skill appears in your skills list, and confirm that pip and npx commands run in the same environment the agent uses.

Are there alternatives for company profiling from the terminal?

The source does not compare this skill with other tools, so it cannot tell you how it performs against them. Test the output on companies you already know to judge its quality before choosing it.

Our verdict

This skill suits sales researchers, analysts doing preliminary company checks, and developers who want a quick company overview from the terminal. It is a poor fit for legal or investment decisions without independent verification, for profiling individuals, or on machines that cannot run Node.js/npx or make outbound network calls.
