person-lookup

When To Use

Use for a specific named professional at a known current company when the requester needs up to five public professional-profile candidates for manual disambiguation. The result may support current title, employer, location, and public profile links when the provider returns them.

Require both the person's full name and company. Use free discovery or ordinary web research for a generic "who is X?" question without employer context, broad people categories, company research, private contact discovery, or bulk lists.

Use only for a legitimate business purpose. Do not use the result to infer sensitive traits, identify a private individual outside a professional context, or automate outreach.

Workflow

1. Install the vetted recipe:

   selat skill install person-lookup
   

2. Collect both required inputs:

   • name: the person's full professional name;
   • company: the person's known current employer or organization.

   Confirm that the request is for one professional identity and that the name and company are not placeholders, broad categories, or unrelated entities. Stop before any probe if either input is missing or incoherent. Neither param has a default, so the CLI refuses to run without both.

3. Probe the payment challenge for free:

   SELAT_ROUTER_URL=https://router.selat.ai \
     selat skill verify ~/.config/selat/skills/person-lookup \
     --name "<full-name>" \
     --company "<current-company>" \
     --live-probe
   

4. Tell the user the live quote and the per-step cap, explain that this is one paid call returning at most five candidates, disclose that a paid application error may still charge, and wait for explicit approval.

5. Only after approval and a spendable Gateway balance, arm a session budget no higher than the approved cap, execute once, and disarm the budget after success or failure:

   selat budget start --amount <approved-cap>
   selat skill run person-lookup \
     --name "<full-name>" \
     --company "<current-company>"
   selat budget stop
