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 B, and why

install-prospector scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 985 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Install Prospector

ℹ️ First, set expectations: before anything else, print one short line with this skill's version and its most recent change — the top entry of metadata.changelog above — e.g. install-prospector vX.Y — recent: <summary>. Then proceed.

Create a B2B SaaS sales research agent powered by Claude Code and compatible with Trinity for remote deployment, scheduling, and orchestration.

What you'll get:

  • A fully configured agent directory with CLAUDE.md, skills, and Trinity files
  • 2 starting skills tailored to B2B SaaS company research
  • Ready for local use or Trinity deployment

Built by Ability.ai — the agent orchestration platform.


STEP 1: Determine Destination

If the user provided a destination path as an argument, use it. Otherwise, ask:

Use AskUserQuestion:

  • Question: "Where should Prospector be installed?"
  • Header: "Location"
  • Show these options:
    1. ~/prospector — Home directory (recommended)
    2. ./prospector — Current directory
    3. Custom path — Let me specify

Default to ~/prospector if no preference.

Expand ~ to the actual home directory using:

echo "$HOME"

Validate the destination does not already exist:

ls -la [destination] 2>/dev/null

If it exists, warn the user and offer:

  1. Pick a different path
  2. Cancel

STEP 2: Domain-Specific Questions

Ask these 4 questions to customize the agent. Each answer directly shapes the generated files.

Q1: ICP Segment

Use AskUserQuestion:

  • Question: "What's your ideal customer profile (ICP) segment?"
  • Header: "ICP"
  • Options:
    1. SMB SaaS — Early-stage, <100 employees, seed to Series A. Research focuses on founders, product-market fit signals, tech stack.
    2. Mid-Market SaaS — 100-1000 employees, Series B-D. Research focuses on department heads, growth trajectory, competitive landscape.
    3. Enterprise SaaS — 1000+ employees, public or late-stage. Research focuses on org structure, procurement signals, strategic initiatives.
    4. Custom — Let me define my own ICP criteria.

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.
