A planning workflow for finding public directories that may contain a chosen audience or type of company. It turns an ideal customer profile or research goal into source categories, search queries, fields, and an extraction order.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan directory research, choose public sources, write search queries, define required fields, and organize a later data-extraction workflow.
Why use it?
It helps decide where to look and what to collect before scraping begins. It also defines inclusion and exclusion rules so the resulting source list matches the research goal.

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

directory-research-planner 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.

What it actually says

Directory Research Planner

Purpose

Turn an ICP or research goal into a plan for finding and scraping suitable directories.

When to use this skill

  • Planning where to source a new list
  • Translating an ICP into search queries
  • Choosing the right directory types
  • Scoping a scraping project before starting

When not to use this skill

  • You already have your source list
  • You need the data extracted now (this plans, it does not scrape)
  • Your audience is not present in public directories

Required inputs

  • An ICP or research goal

Optional inputs

  • Known good sources
  • Geographies to focus on
  • Fields you must collect

Rules

  1. Tie every recommendation to the stated ICP/goal.
  2. Suggest public, accessible source types.
  3. Make inclusion and exclusion criteria explicit.
  4. Recommend an efficient extraction order.
  5. Note assumptions where the goal is vague.

Process

  1. Parse the ICP or goal.
  2. Identify directory and source types.
  3. Draft search queries.
  4. Define fields and inclusion/exclusion criteria.
  5. Recommend an extraction workflow.

Output format

Return a sourcing plan with the following fields:

  • directory_types
  • suggested_source_categories
  • search_queries
  • fields_to_collect
  • inclusion_criteria
  • exclusion_criteria
  • recommended_extraction_workflow

Validation

  • Confirm sources match the ICP.
  • Confirm criteria are explicit and testable.
  • Confirm the workflow is actionable.

Limitations

  • It plans sources; it does not verify they exist.
  • Some audiences are not well represented in public directories.
Changes

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.
