Outreach Research — Phase 1 only
Overview
Run only the Research phase of Intent Outreach across one or more domains: surface the leads
(companies) and contacts (people) the configured connectors return, deterministically, in fixed
connector order. It does not enrich, score, or draft — it is the fast way to vet a domain list
before spending enrichment calls or running the full intent-outreach campaign.
Prerequisites
- The bundled Intent Outreach MCP server (tools
mcp__intent-outreach__research_domain,
mcp__intent-outreach__list_connectors).
- At least one research connector configured (e.g.
APOLLO_API_KEY or HUNTER_API_KEY — free tiers
exist). If none is set, stop and say which keys to add.
Instructions
- Read the arguments: an ICP description followed by a comma-separated domain list. Parse and confirm
the ICP and domains back to the user.
- If unsure anything is configured, call
list_connectors; if nothing is, stop and name the keys to set.
- For each domain, call
research_domain(domain, icp).
- Aggregate the returned leads and contacts and present a compact table.
Do not enrich, score, or draft here — that is the campaign skill's job.
Output
A compact table per the aggregated results, for example:
| Company | Domain | Industry | Size | Contacts |
|----------|-------------|----------|--------|----------|
| Acme Inc | acme.com | SaaS | 51-200 | 3 |
| Globex | globex.com | Fintech | 11-50 | 1 |
Followed by a one-line note on which connectors ran and any that were skipped.
Error Handling
- No connectors configured — stop; list the keys to set (free tiers first). Do not invent leads.
- A connector errors mid-run — the pipeline records it as skipped and continues; report which
connectors ran vs skipped so the user knows the result is partial.
- A domain returns nothing — report the empty result honestly; never fabricate companies or contacts.
Examples
User: "/outreach-research seed-stage dev-tools founders stripe.com,linear.app"
Confirms ICP + the two domains, calls research_domain for each, and prints a table of the companies
and contacts found — no enrichment, no drafts.
Resources
- Full campaign (research → enrich → outreach): the
intent-outreach skill.
- A structured account brief that also enriches: the
lead-researcher agent.
- Connector status: the
outreach-connectors skill.
