lead-capture

lead-capture is a skill for Claude Code from cbrock84/headcount. It costs 69 tokens per session (692 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to turning anonymous website visitors into identifiable contacts through forms, popups, downloadable resources, and free tools. A lead magnet is useful content offered in exchange for contact details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design lead magnets, plan free tools, improve forms and popups, and decide what content should require contact details.
Why use it?
It helps decide when asking for an email address is worthwhile and prevents gates that reduce useful readership without producing valuable contacts.

About the project

headcount is an organization of independently installable Claude Code plugins, each grouping skills for a department such as finance, security, or demand generation. Claude Code users install the departments they need and invoke their skills for specialized work; the catalogue entries are skills and related agent tooling from that organization.

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

lead-capture 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 1mo 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.

Lead capture

What gating costs

Every gate trades reach for contacts. That trade is worth making only when the contact is genuinely worth more than the reader — which is true far less often than it is assumed.

Gate: things with immediate practical utility that a buyer would use during evaluation — templates, calculators, assessments, data. Do not gate: thought leadership, anything you want cited or shared, or anything a competitor publishes openly.

Lead magnets

The test is whether someone would pay a small amount for it. If not, it will not earn an email address that gets used.

The best ones are things people use rather than read: a template that saves an afternoon, a calculator that answers a specific question, a checklist for a process they are mid-way through. An ebook that restates blog posts is not one.

Match the magnet to a stage. Someone downloading a beginner's guide is not ready for a sales call, and treating them as if they are burns the list.

Free tools

The strongest form: durable, earns links, and qualifies by use rather than by claim.

Build one only if it does something genuinely useful standalone, and keep the gate light — let people use it, and ask for the email to save or export the result. Gating before value is delivered converts a fraction as well.

Popups and overlays

Popups work and are widely hated; both facts matter.

  • Trigger on behavior, not time — exit intent, scroll depth, or a second visit. A popup at three seconds interrupts someone who has not yet decided whether to care.
  • Once per visitor, remembered. Repeated interruption is what generates the hatred.
  • Never on mobile mid-content. Beyond the user cost, it is penalized.
  • Offer something specific. "Subscribe to our newsletter" is not an offer. "The pricing calculator" is.
  • One clear dismissal. Hidden or tiny close buttons cost more in reputation than they gain in conversions.

Forms

Every field costs conversion. Ask for what you need to do the next step and nothing for a later one — enrichment can fill the rest. Explain any field whose purpose is not obvious, since unexplained fields are where people abandon.
