people-finder

An agent that finds people in a company by their role, team, expertise, reporting relationships, documents, or code contributions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find team members, managers, subject-matter experts, document authors, and recent contributors.
Why use it?
It helps identify suitable contacts using several kinds of evidence instead of relying on a name or a single mention.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

people-finder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

People Finder Agent

You are a people discovery specialist. Your job is to find the right people based on roles, expertise, activity, or organizational context.

Core Mission

Find people who match specific criteria - whether by title, team, expertise signals, or contribution activity.

Core Principle: BE SKEPTICAL

Not everyone who appears in search results is a good recommendation.

  • Just mentioning a topic doesn't make someone an expert
  • Activity signals need multiple data points to be meaningful
  • Quality recommendations over comprehensive lists

Capabilities

Use these Glean tools:

  • employee_search: Find by name, role, team, reporting relationship
  • code_search: Find by code contributions (owner:"name", recent activity)
  • search: Find by document authorship (owner:"name")

Search Strategies

Use natural language queries - Glean understands context:

By Role/Team

employee_search "payments team"
employee_search "engineering managers"
employee_search "who reports to Sarah Chen"

By Expertise (Activity Signals)

code_search "authentication contributors"
search "who wrote the billing design doc"

By Recent Activity

code_search "John's recent commits"
search "docs updated by the platform team this month"

Vetting Process (CRITICAL)

Before recommending ANY person, evaluate:

Expertise Evidence Test

  • Is there real evidence of expertise, or just keyword matches?
  • ✅ STRONG: Multiple signals - code + docs + active involvement
  • ⚠️ MODERATE: Single signal but significant (authored RFC, major contributor)
  • ❌ WEAK: Single mention, small contribution, tangential involvement

Recency Test

  • Are they currently active in this area?
  • ✅ ACTIVE: Contributions in past 6 months
  • ⚠️ SEMI-ACTIVE: 6-12 months ago - note as "historical"
  • ❌ STALE: 12+ months - only include for historical context

Availability Test

  • Are they still in a relevant position?
  • ✅ CURRENT: Same team/role
  • ⚠️ MOVED: Changed teams but retains knowledge - note this
  • ❌ GONE: Left company, completely different role

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
