prospecting is a skill in coreyhaines31/marketingskills, last changed 27 Oct 2026. It can name web addresses.
When the user wants to find, qualify, and build a list of prospects to reach out to, across B2B SaaS, general B2B, or local small businesses. Also use when the user mentions "prospecting," "build a prospect list," "find leads," "lead list," "outbound list," "target account list," "ICP-fit accounts," "find local businesses," "find my first customers," "design partners," "signal-based outbound," "gap plays," "buying signals," "intent data," "job change alerts," "waterfall enrichment," "Clay table," "lookalike accounts," "catch-all emails," "account tiering," or "research this account before I reach out." Always verify emails before they reach a sequence, and never scrape LinkedIn. Define audiences in Sales Navigator and pull contacts from licensed data. Covers list building, signals, enrichment, verification, and account research. For the outreach itself (copy, sending setup, LinkedIn, cadences, replies), see cold-email. For researching competitors, see competitor-profiling.

From the files and frontmatter at commit 88c79f6. This is how much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.
Pattern check
Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit 88c79f6 · 3 Nov 2026
We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 88c79f6 on 3 Nov 2026, against 45 published patterns such as download-and-run commands, hidden text and credential access. We don't run the skill, we don't read the web pages it points to, and we can't judge everything its instructions might lead an agent to do. In published tests, pattern checks like this one missed most malicious skills. Read the skill before you install it — especially anything it asks you to download or run.

Format check
Each agent reads SKILL.md a little differently. We check the file against each one's published rules; we don't run the skill in any agent.
Agent Skills specPasses
The open format from agentskills.io, held to the strictest version of each rule among the agents we check.
- Note
Anthropic's packaging script leaves these out: evals/. F8
Fix: Delete them, or list them in .gitignore.
- Note
There is no license field, so readers can't tell whether they may reuse the skill. O2
Fix: Add license: with an SPDX name such as MIT or Apache-2.0, or the name of a bundled licence file.
- Note
Reference files over 100 lines with no table of contents at the top: references/b2b-prospecting.md (107 lines), references/compliance.md (162 lines), references/data-sources.md (301 lines), references/demand-signals.md (132 lines), references/local-prospecting.md (166 lines) and 2 more. B5
Fix: Add a short list of the sections at the top of each.
- Note
Claude CodePasses
Claude Code reads its own extra fields, ignores unknown ones, and still loads a skill whose frontmatter is broken, without its fields.
- Note
Anthropic's packaging script leaves these out: evals/. F8
Fix: Delete them, or list them in .gitignore.
- Note
Reference files over 100 lines with no table of contents at the top: references/b2b-prospecting.md (107 lines), references/compliance.md (162 lines), references/data-sources.md (301 lines), references/demand-signals.md (132 lines), references/local-prospecting.md (166 lines) and 2 more. B5
Fix: Add a short list of the sections at the top of each.
- Note
Claude apps & API uploadPasses
Uploading to claude.ai or the Claude API, or packaging with Anthropic's script, accepts only the six spec fields and stops on anything else.
- Note
Anthropic's packaging script leaves these out: evals/. F8
Fix: Delete them, or list them in .gitignore.
- Note
The description is 987 characters. The claude.ai Help Center says 200 at most, though Anthropic's API docs and validator allow 1,024. D4
Fix: If the claude.ai upload refuses it, trim the description to 200 characters.
- Note
Reference files over 100 lines with no table of contents at the top: references/b2b-prospecting.md (107 lines), references/compliance.md (162 lines), references/data-sources.md (301 lines), references/demand-signals.md (132 lines), references/local-prospecting.md (166 lines) and 2 more. B5
Fix: Add a short list of the sections at the top of each.
- Note
OpenAI (Codex & API)Passes
Codex finds SKILL.md by its exact name and needs a description; OpenAI's Skills API checks the frontmatter against the spec and caps uploads.
- Note
Anthropic's packaging script leaves these out: evals/. F8
Fix: Delete them, or list them in .gitignore.
- Note
VS Code & CopilotPasses
VS Code reads skills one folder below .github/skills, .claude/skills or .agents/skills and falls back to the folder name when the name is missing or differs; GitHub's Copilot docs require the exact name SKILL.md.
- Note
Anthropic's packaging script leaves these out: evals/. F8
Fix: Delete them, or list them in .gitignore.
- Note
SKILL.md
