## What it does

The skill searches and qualifies target accounts and leads through Firecrawl Alexandria data providers. It first inspects available providers with `firecrawl find-tools`, verifies supported filters via provider contracts, and queries them. Web searches are only used to find external sources like speaker lists, because contact fields must come directly from verified providers.

When given a directory or database URL, it extracts raw records via `firecrawl scrape "<url>" --json` and enriches missing fields through Alexandria. Profiles are deduplicated by ID or URL and formatted into a ranked table or CSV. The workflow strictly forbids guessing email patterns or treating search preview snippets as complete records.

Requests will fail without a valid `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY`. If you already have a prepared list of people or companies to enrich, use `firecrawl-lead-research` instead.

# Firecrawl Lead Gen

Build a qualified prospect list from Alexandria's people and company providers. The web can find sources for criteria the providers do not cover, but profile and contact fields come from the providers.

If the user names a specific directory or database to extract, start from that source: read it with `firecrawl scrape "<url>" --json`, and use `firecrawl interact --help` for filters, pagination or load-more controls. Then enrich the missing requested fields through Alexandria (step 5). For a plain export of a company directory without qualification, use `firecrawl-company-directories`.

## Workflow

1. **Set the criteria.** Note the roles or seniority, company criteria (industry, size, location, technology), person location, count and output format. Separate required filters from preferences.
2. **Find the provider.** List people providers with `firecrawl find-tools --options '{"categories":["people"],"level":"providers","limit":20}' --json`. For account criteria, also find company search with `firecrawl find-tools --options '{"query":"search companies by industry, size and location","categories":["companies"],"limit":5}' --json`.
3. **Read the contract.** `firecrawl list <provider> --json` lists its capabilities; `firecrawl list <provider> <capability> --pretty` shows the filters and response for one. Pass only filters the contract supports; if one search has no filter for a required criterion, use a provider whose contract does.
```
