find-engineering-firm

find-engineering-firm is a skill for Claude Code from nostrband/ServiceGraph. It costs 209 tokens per session (3,613 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A search tool for finding and comparing US firms that engineer physical projects. It covers buildings, infrastructure, energy, manufacturing, and related fields, not software development.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding or vetting civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, MEP, geotechnical, transportation, environmental, and manufacturing engineering firms.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish real-world engineering suppliers from software engineering teams and narrow firms by discipline.

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

find-engineering-firm scanned grade A 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 281 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

find-engineering-firm

Drive the ServiceGraph API (https://api.servicegraph.co) to find, shortlist, and enrich US real-world engineering firms — buildings, infrastructure, energy, manufacturing — via the pro_services dataset. The catalog tags firms with industry:engineering_services and a ~23-tag service sub-taxonomy.

This is NOT for software engineering. "Software engineering firm", "engineering team", "engineering manager hire", "system architecture review" — those are all software-developer territory. The first thing this skill confirms is that the user means real engineering, not software.

Always pin industry:engineering_services. Note the _services suffix — older docs sometimes show industry:engineering but the literal pin returns zero results in the live catalog. Sub-disciplines are typically structured service_provided tags (civil-engineering, structural-engineering, mep-engineering, etc.) — confirm exact names via /v1/datasets/pro_services/fields?include_values=1. Surveying is surveying-mapping, not surveying.

When NOT to use this skill

The dominant failure mode is firing on software-engineering asks. Refuse those.

  • Software / SaaS / app-development asks — even when phrased as "software engineering firm", "engineering team partner", "build our platform" → defer to find-software-developer.
  • In-house "engineering manager" hires — in modern B2B usage this is almost always software-engineering recruiting. Refuse.
  • System / cloud / database architecture questions ("Postgres vs DynamoDB", "monolith vs microservices") — software topics.
  • Architecture (buildings)find-architecture-firm covers that industry (when it exists). This skill covers engineering disciplines that work with architects (structural, MEP, civil), but the architect-of-record procurement is a different fire.
  • Consumer/residential ("architect for a residential remodel", "engineer to inspect my house"). Catalog is B2B procurement only.
  • Non-US firms / individual freelance engineers / DIY questions / engineering-software product comparisons (Revit, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Ansys).

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.

find-engineering-firm is a skill published in the GitHub repository nostrband/ServiceGraph (62 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 209 tokens to every session and 3,613 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
