I simply modified level 3 and 17 assassin features to fit a spy template
(some inspiration from Quickleaf, http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?394575-Swashbuckler-and-Ship-Mage-(new-archetypes)&goto=newpost)
Use the 2 middle assassin features.
Spy
Bonus Proficiencies
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the disguise kit and the cartographer’s kit. You know basic ciphering techniques. Unlike linguist feat, you cannot decipher or cipher anything original.
Area Knowledge
Starting at 3rd level, as a member of an organization or freelance you have already a network of contacts in a given location (maximum 10000 inhabitants; for capitals, you have to specialize in neighbourhoods) . Select a particular location in your campaign world. When at that area, you got area knowledge. You gain three benefits.
You can learn about a new area in 7-intelligence modifier days. Only intelligence modifier areas may be memorized that way.
Mental concealment
At 17th level, you can conceal your schemes from mind-reading magic. When a creature is using detect thoughts or similar magic to read her mind, you decides what surface thoughts your opponent detects, and your true surface thoughts remain private. Also, you has advantage on any spell or skill roll trying to detect lies, thoughts, alignment, emotions or motivations.
