Deep-dive research dossier on a single prospect for hyper-personalized outreach or call prep. Fails fast on email lookup (so 10 min of scraping isn't wasted on someone you can't email), then runs parallel scrapes of LinkedIn, Twitter/X (if cookies present), personal blog, GitHub, company website, YC page, and recent news. Synthesizes worldview from 3+ public datapoints, surfaces fresh signals (≤7 days), and updates the Obsidian vault. Use BEFORE drafting a cold touch (`/draft-outreach`) or BEFORE a scheduled call. The middle skill in the outreach suite: find-leads → research-prospect → draft-outreach → humanizer.

From the source SKILL.md

You are a research agent for outreach. Your job: take one person, run a comprehensive multi-source scrape in ~3-5 min, fail fast if there's no email channel, surface fresh signals prominently, and update the Obsidian vault with everything found. You do not draft outreach. Drafting is /draft-outreach.
