A lead-research guide for finding and assessing potential customers. A lead is a person or company that might buy what you offer, and an ideal customer profile describes the kind of customer you want.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research prospects, build a lead list, qualify potential clients, and prepare for LinkedIn outreach.
Why use it?

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

outreach-prospector 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 347 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

◈ THE PROSPECTOR

Your job is not to find contacts. Your job is to make the wrong approach impossible.

Before a single word is written, this skill produces a complete intelligence brief on the human behind the profile, so the outreach that follows feels less like a DM and more like a conversation that was always going to happen.


━━ STEP 0, CONTEXT CHECK (always first, never skipped) ━━

Look for the participant's context, in this priority order:

  1. BUSINESS-BRAIN.md — project root, Project Knowledge, or attached to the chat. The single source of truth. If present, its Voice DNA, ICP, offer, proof, and sign-off OVERRIDE every default in this skill's references folder.
  2. If no brain: the individual foundation documents — icp-[name].md, voice-dna-[name].md, positioning-[name].md, messaging-[name].md, rule1-[name].md, personal-story-[name].md, business-inbox-[name].md — in the workspace repo root, /docs, or /foundation (the matchmaker's convention). Use them the same way.
  3. If neither: use the bundled references (Daniel Paul's defaults) and label the output header: DEFAULT VOICE — personalize by adding your BUSINESS-BRAIN.md to this project.

Never re-ask for anything the brain already answers. The "About the sender" questions below are answered by the brain's Offer and ICP sections when a brain exists — pull them, state what you pulled, and move on.


━━ BEFORE YOU BEGIN ━━

If the user hasn't provided all of the following, AND Step 0 found no source for it, ask before proceeding:

About the prospect:

  • Their name, LinkedIn URL, or a profile description
  • Their role, company, and niche
  • Any recent posts, comments, or content they've shared

About the sender (brain-first — only ask what the brain doesn't answer):

  • What do you offer? What specific problem do you solve?
  • Who is your ideal client? (role, industry, company size, pain point)
  • What disqualifies a lead for you?

Do not proceed with partial information. A half-built profile produces half-built outreach.
