Claude Code, two commands.

Every bundle you download is a self-contained Claude Code plugin marketplace — the entitlement check happens at download, so you install straight from the local folder. No tokens to paste, no hosted endpoint to trust.

§ 01

How it's packaged.

Unzip a bundle and you'll see a Claude Code plugin laid out the way the runtime expects:

osint-foundations-2026/
├── .claude-plugin/
│   └── marketplace.json        ← a local marketplace named "osint-tradecraft"
├── osint-foundations/          ← the plugin
│   ├── .claude-plugin/
│   │   └── plugin.json
│   └── skills/
│       ├── seed-discovery-from-email/SKILL.md
│       ├── ssl-certificate-pivoting/SKILL.md
│       └── …
└── README.md

The marketplace points at the plugin by relative path — which resolves because you add it as a local folder, not a URL. Claude Code can't authenticate a hosted marketplace against a license key, so we gate at the download instead. Cleaner, and it works offline.

§ 02

Install.

1

Download & unzip

From your dashboard, download any bundle you own and unzip it. You'll get a folder like osint-foundations-2026/.
2

Add the local marketplace

From the directory where you unzipped it:

claude plugin marketplace add ./osint-foundations-2026
3

Install the plugin & reload

claude plugin install osint-foundations@osint-tradecraft

# then, inside Claude Code:
/reload-plugins

Swap osint-foundations for whichever bundle you're installing — the plugin name matches the bundle slug.

4

Confirm & use

Claude auto-invokes the right skill when you describe an investigation task. List what's loaded with /help:

/help

> osint-foundations (osint-tradecraft)
>   seed-discovery-from-email
>   ssl-certificate-pivoting
>   wayback-machine-deep-dive
>   …
§ 03

Staying current.

With an active Update Subscription, every revision and new skill we add to bundles you own ships as a new edition. To pull it: re-download the bundle from your dashboard, unzip over the old folder, and re-run the two install commands — a one-command re-sync to the latest edition.

One-time bundle owners keep the edition they bought, forever. Re-download is available while your purchase is on file.
