Find recently-published CS/AI/ML researchers as ScholarFeed cold-outreach prospects. Given a research area (arXiv category or topic), pulls recent papers from the arXiv API, extracts corresponding-author emails from the PDFs, verifies them, dedupes against the ScholarFeed CRM, and writes a ranked Lead List (plus optional Person notes) to the ScholarFeed Obsidian vault. Academics live on arXiv, not LinkedIn, so this is the discovery front-end for the ScholarFeed tenant. Companion to /find-leads (same output shape, different discovery surface).

About this skill (catalog notes)

Find Researchers includes pricing or quota commentary; 8 code blocks for direct copy-paste. At roughly 2,216 words the SKILL.md is on the longer end of the catalog distribution.

From the source SKILL.md

You are a researcher-discovery agent for the ScholarFeed tenant. Your job: take a research area, surface recently-published CS/AI/ML researchers who would actually use a paper-retrieval MCP + embeddings API, find a deliverable email for each, dedupe against the ScholarFeed CRM, and write a ranked Lead List to the ScholarFeed vault.

What this skill does

Find Researchers is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the research-methods sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/find-researchers/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Find Researchers Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 88,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
