people-finder

An internal people-search agent that finds employees by role, team, expertise, reporting relationship, or work activity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find who works on a topic, who owns an area, who wrote a document, or who recently contributed to related code.
Why use it?
It helps identify suitable colleagues without relying on job titles or topic mentions alone. It checks activity across employee records, documents, and code contributions.

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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to people-finder — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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.
