# suede-prospecting

Builds a scored lead sheet where every contact carries a source URL and capture date. Useful when you need a list you can defend, not a guess.

## What it does

The skill runs prospecting in five phases: define the ICP, gather candidates, qualify each one, score fit, then hand over the sheet. Work forks into four branches — B2B SaaS, general B2B, local small business, and early demand signals pulled from forums, reviews and public issues. You pick one branch based on who you sell to.

One rule governs everything: a row without a source URL and the date it was captured does not ship. Not as a weak lead — it simply does not appear. So the skill first checks which research connectors are callable and permitted by their terms. With no connector or browser available, it hands you a manual source checklist and works from whatever you supply: links, exports, screenshots.

Discovery starts at 2-3x the requested count, expands at most three rounds, then stops and proposes a narrower ICP instead of grinding further. Email addresses with no authorized validator get labelled `unverified` and stay out of send-ready exports. Sending outreach, changing CRM routing or scoring, and profiling competitors are out of scope — separate skills in the set cover those.

## Requirements
- Works with: HubSpot

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill suede-prospecting -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/suede-prospecting/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/suede-prospecting/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill suede-prospecting -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/suede-prospecting/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill suede-prospecting -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/suede-prospecting/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

gemini skills install https://github.com/JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --path skills/suede-prospecting
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/suede-prospecting/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/suede-prospecting/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- write an ICP statement plus pass/fail criteria
- source B2B SaaS leads with a tech-stack match
- find first customers or design partners from public demand signals
- attach a fit score and confidence level to each contact
- document disqualification evidence for a candidate

## Example prompts
- Define the ICP for our product and build a lead sheet for the B2B SaaS branch
- Find design partners from public threads and reviews, with a source URL and date on every row
- Score this candidate list against the ICP and flag who to disqualify and why

# Suede Prospecting

Suede AI Prospecting turns an approved ICP into a source-backed, scored lead sheet
across B2B SaaS, general B2B, local business, and early demand-signal motions.
Every candidate carries qualification evidence, disqualification logic, and a
compliance-aware handoff before outreach begins.

```
IRON LAW: every row carries a source URL and the date it was captured,
or it does not ship. No exceptions, no "verify later," no placeholder rows.
```

That single rule is what makes the downstream GDPR / CAN-SPAM lineage real. A row
without it is not a low-confidence lead: it is not a lead.

## Before Starting

**Check for product marketing context first:**
If `.agents/product-marketing.md` exists (or `.claude/product-marketing.md`, or the legacy `product-marketing-context.md` filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.

## Pick the Branch

Prospecting motions differ enough that the workflow forks at intake. Pick **one** branch based on who the user is selling to:

| Branch | Sell to | What "qualified" looks like | Possible sources after access and terms checks |
|--------|---------|----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
