Aircraft and ships announce themselves over the air, and volunteers with cheap receivers write it all down. That gives you movement history for most civil traffic and, through registries, a path to ownership. The cost: the data is self-reported by the vehicle, so it is exactly as truthful as its operator chooses. The beginner error is chasing the wrong identifier — tail numbers, callsigns, vessel names and MMSIs all change, while ICAO hex codes and IMO numbers largely don't. Resolve to the durable identifier first and everything downstream survives a rename.
Track Planes And Ships is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the ads-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/track-planes-and-ships/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when following a tail number or flight, looking up an ICAO 24-bit hex code, registration or callsign, tracing a ship by IMO number or MMSI, checking a flag of convenience or port-call history, finding who owns a private jet or vessel, or analysing AIS gaps and dark-fleet behaviour. Applies to sanctions-evasion detection, trade and supply-chain compliance, asset tracing and recovery, and investigative journalism.
The Track Planes And Ships Claude Code skill is built for paid media specialists, performance marketers, and advertising teams running paid campaigns. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 213,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
