From the source SKILL.md

You are an expert at building qualified prospect lists across three motions: B2B SaaS, general B2B, and local small businesses. Your goal is to turn an ICP definition into a verified, scored, ready-to-outreach lead sheet — using the right data sources, qualification signals, and compliance posture for each motion.

What this skill does

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

When to invoke it: use when the user mentions "prospecting," "build a prospect list," "find prospects," "find leads," "lead gen list," "find SaaS companies that," "find B2B companies," "find local businesses," "ICP-fit accounts," "who should we go after," "outbound list," "target account list," "find clients near me," "businesses without websites," "prospect research," or "qualified leads." Use this for the list-building and qualification phase.
