When to Use

Retrieve phone number (and email) for a staff member of the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) from the public website.

Overview

This skill contains a reusable operational workflow. Follow the existing task-specific steps and examples in the sections below.

Goal

Obtain the official phone number (and optionally email) for a given AIP staff member.

Prerequisites

• Internet access.
• The target person’s full name (as used on the AIP website).

Steps

1. Attempt direct table lookup
   • Use web_extract on https://www.aip.de/en/members/table/.
   • Search the extracted markdown for the exact name (case‑insensitive).
   • If a table row containing the name is found, locate the Phone column (the table shows only the last digits; prepend the fixed prefix [phone]‑).
   • Return the full phone number and, if present, the email username (append @aip.de).
2. Fallback: search personal profile
   • If the name is not found in the table, perform web_search with query "<Name>" AIP.
   • Take the first result whose URL contains /members/ (e.g., https://www.aip.de/members/<slug>/).
   • web_extract that URL.
   • Parse the extracted content for a line like Phone | **[phone] XYZ** and extract the full number.
   • Also optionally extract the email line.
3. Return result
   • Provide the phone number in international format ([phone] XYZ).
   • Include the email if available.
   • Add a brief note that AIP’s policy forbids using these contacts for advertising/marketing.

Pitfalls & Tips

• The members table only shows the last 3‑4 digits; always prepend the prefix [phone]‑.
• Some profiles use a non‑standard email username; use the exact email shown.
• The table page may paginate; the web_extract result contains the entire table (292 entries) so regex search works.
• If multiple rows match (e.g., similar names), pick the one with the exact full name.

Verification

• Verify that the extracted phone starts with +49 and contains the expected number of digits after the country code.
• Ensure the email ends with @aip.de.

Example

Input: "Arman Khalatyan"
Output:
Phone: [phone] XXX
Email: [e-mail]
