## What it does

The skill gives your agent access to company and professional data through the CLI `npx @vibeprospecting/vpai@latest`. Every tool response is JSON, so steps chain together: find entities first, then enrich, then pull events. Tech stack, business events and website changes all come from the same filter set.

Hard rules shape the workflow. The first run always covers five entities — that cap is a quality gate, not the size of the dataset. After that you re-run the same call with full-scale parameters, and only once the user approves. Steps chain through a session SQLite store: each one prints `session_id`, `db_path` and `table_name`, and you pass those forward with `--session-id`. Never paste IDs by hand.

Before the first `--args` call of any tool, run `<tool> --all-parameters` once and build arguments only from that live schema. For fields like `naics_category`, `job_title` or `city_region`, call `autocomplete` first and use the standardized values. Add `--csv` once, on the final step. If `npx` is unavailable or the environment is sandboxed, the skill suggests the Vibe Prospecting connector — worth checking whether your agent supports connectors at all.

# Vibe Prospecting CLI

Use the CLI: `npx @vibeprospecting/vpai@latest`. Treat every tool response as JSON.

**Cowork mode: always use this connector flow.** Before doing any work in Cowork mode, check whether the Vibe Prospecting MCP connector tools are available in your tool list (look for a tool matching the pattern `mcp__*__fetch-entities`).

If those tools are present, use the connector directly and follow its tool descriptions and schemas. If those tools are NOT present:
1. Call `mcp__mcp-registry__search_mcp_registry` with keywords `["vibe prospecting", "explorium"]`
2. Call `mcp__mcp-registry__suggest_connectors` with the UUID `1bdcb159-b6f0-4f13-bc08-fdb40b007828` and keywords `["prospecting"]`
3. Tell the user to click **Connect** on the card — the tools unlock automatically once authorized
4. **Poll until connected.** On every subsequent turn, re-check your tool list for `mcp__*__fetch-entities`. Do not start prospecting work until those tools appear. **Never** fall back to the CLI, the npm `vpai` tool, or an OAuth URL in Cowork mode — the Cowork connector store is the only path. If the user cannot connect from the suggested card, tell them to open the **connector store** and install Vibe Prospecting from there, then poll again. If tools are still missing, remind the user to connect and wait; repeat until the connector is available.

**If the CLI does not work** outside Cowork mode (e.g. `npx` unavailable, sandboxed environment, permission denied), and the user's agent environment supports connectors, suggest the Vibe Prospecting connector to the user. The rest of this file is CLI-only. In Cowork mode, use the connector store flow above.
