Event Prospecting

Take a conference URL → get a ranked list of people the AE should talk to, with a "why reach out" rationale per person.

Required: BROWSERBASE_API_KEY env var and the browse CLI installed (npm install -g browse). Use browse cloud ... for API calls and browse open / browse get markdown for JS-heavy speaker pages.

Path rules: Always use the full literal path in all Bash commands — NOT ~ or $HOME (both trigger "shell expansion syntax" approval prompts). Resolve the home directory once and use it everywhere. When constructing subagent prompts, replace {SKILL_DIR} with the full literal path (typically /Users/jay/skills/skills/event-prospecting).

Output directory: All event prospecting output goes to ~/Desktop/{event_slug}_prospects_{YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM}/. Final deliverable is index.html (people grouped by company, ranked by company ICP), with companies.html and people.html (filterable) as alternate views, plus results.csv for cold-outbound import.

CRITICAL — Tool restrictions (applies to main agent AND all subagents):

• All web searches: use browse cloud search. NEVER use WebSearch.
• All page content extraction: use node {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/extract_page.mjs "<url>". This script fetches via browse cloud fetch --output, parses title + meta tags + visible body text, and automatically falls back to browse get markdown when fetch fails or returns thin JS-rendered content. NEVER hand-roll a browse cloud fetch | sed pipeline. NEVER use WebFetch.
• All research output: subagents write one markdown file per company OR per person to {OUTPUT_DIR}/companies/{slug}.md or {OUTPUT_DIR}/people/{slug}.md using bash heredoc. NEVER use the Write tool or python3 -c. See references/example-research.md for both file formats.
• Report compilation: use node {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/compile_report.mjs {OUTPUT_DIR} --open.
• Subagents must use ONLY the Bash tool. No other tools allowed.
• HARD TOOL-CALL CAPS: ICP triage = 1 call/company; deep research = 5 calls/company; person enrichment = 4 calls/person. See references/workflow.md for enforcement detail.
