Nooks Autopilot — Autonomous BDR/SDR Team
Find, hunt, and "almost kill" leads automatically, then hand Tim a warm one. Pull prospects
from the curated HubSpot `[AI]` lists, qualify and persona-match them, route each to the
right **Nooks** sequence by play, and enroll them so Nooks runs the multi-touch cadence
(auto-emails fire; calls + LinkedIn become the owning rep's task list). Monitor enrolled
prospects and, the moment one replies, halt the sequence and surface the warm contact to its owner.
Per-rep agents. This runs as a dedicated agent for each dialing rep (Tim + the 3 SDRs).
Each rep's run works only that rep's owned leads and produces their next-best top 5 to call.
One owner per lead, no double-dialing: every worked lead is owned by exactly one rep; a lead
is never enrolled twice or placed in two reps' queues. Unowned source-list leads are assigned to
exactly one rep (whole account → one rep, to keep multi-threading clean) before anything else.
SHADOW MODE is the default and is ON unless explicitly turned off. In shadow mode the
skill does everything except write to Nooks/HubSpot — it produces an enrollment plan +
report so Tim can verify behavior on real leads before a single sequence starts.
<quick_start>
Scheduled: Weekdays ~8:05 AM ET (after morning-brief). Monitor pass: also run on each invocation.
Manual triggers: "run nooks autopilot", "autopilot shadow run on Live Events list", "check nooks replies / warm handoffs"
Default mode: SHADOW (plan + report only, zero writes). Flip with SHADOW_MODE=false (Tim only).
Dependencies: Epiphan AI + HubSpot + Nooks MCP connectors; nooks-personas-v2 / nooks-signals-v1 / nooks-battlecards-v3 in reference/; reuses sequence-load, prospect-research-to-cadence, prospect-enrich patterns.
Output: enrollment-plan HTML report + outcome sidecar JSON; in live mode, Nooks enrollments + HubSpot state + warm-handoff tasks.
</quick_start>
## Locked configuration
SHADOW_MODE:true (master switch — no Nooks/HubSpot writes while true)
DAILY_ENROLL_CAP: 25 (throttle once live; protects deliverability)
ENROLLMENT GATE (auto): persona ∈ focus verticals ANDpower_level == atlAND not junk
AND survived Golden Rules / Suppression / dedup. The qualify_lead CatBoost category is NOT a gate
— it's a ranking input (a focus-vertical ATL with a "why now" signal still enrolls even if category=nurture;
the classifier under-rates Live Events). GRAY power → hold for Tim's ok; BTL → skip auto-enroll.
TOP_N_PER_REP: 5 (each rep's "next best to call" queue size)
⚠️ none yet — enroll call/LinkedIn-only or hold auto-email until her mailbox is connected
(Victor Doubrovine — manager, ownerId 153471050 / Nooks D9DElZ5… — is NOT a dialing rep; never assign to him.)
Ownership key = sdr_owner (HubSpot enum of owner-ids; Victor enabled it and it translates into
Nooks as the dial owner). This — NOT hubspot_owner_id (often the AE) — is the per-rep ownership field.
A lead "belongs to" the rep in its sdr_owner.
Assignment strategy: assign by account (all of an account's contacts → one rep) to prevent two
reps working the same org and to keep multi-threading owned by one rep. New sdr_owner-unset accounts →
round-robin/load-balanced across the 4 reps; if any contact at the account already has an sdr_owner,
assign the rest to that same rep. Never overwrite an existing sdr_owner. Set sdr_owner (live) via
hubspot_update_contact — it propagates to Nooks as the owner.
Focus verticals (v1): Higher Ed, Community College, Live Events, Corporate. Other personas stay matchable but are deprioritized.

</success_criteria>
Stage 1 — Source
For each configured source list, call hubspot_list_members(listId, gapsOnly:false). Capture
name, email, jobtitle, company, phone, contactId, plus the per-member gap flags. Tag each
lead with its play (from the Source-lists table). Cap the run at DAILY_ENROLL_CAP candidates
(highest-intent lists first: Hit Lists → Greenfield → Send-to-AI).
Stage 2 — Filter (reuse existing logic)
Apply, in order — these mirror sequence-load Stage 3 + prospect-research-to-cadence Stage 1b:
Golden Rules: skip customers, channel partners, device-owners, contacts owned by active AEs
(<90 days), and NEVER-ATL titles (Warehouse/Network Manager, Systems Admin, AV Technician,
Classroom Support, Lab Coordinator, Multimedia Services Manager, Video Production Specialist, etc.).
Suppression Gate: exclude where bdr_suppression_until is set and > today.
Dedup: drop anyone already in [Epiphan AI] Enrolled (4575) or [Epiphan AI] Blocked (4577).
A lead must be worked by exactly one rep and never dialed by two. Enforce, in order:
Already in motion (double-dial guard): exclude any candidate with nooks_active_in_sequence == true
(fast HubSpot filter; nooks_sequenced_by shows which rep). Cross-check authoritatively against Nooks
listSequenceStates(filter_state:[active,paused], include:[prospect]) on prospect.crmId == contactId.
Also exclude epiphan_ai_status ∈ {enrolled, sent, replied} (already in the AI pipeline).
Existing SDR owner: read sdr_owner.
Set to a dialing rep → belongs to that rep's queue only (never another rep's).
Set to an AE/non-dialer → leave per Golden Rules (stale-AE exception handled upstream).
Unset → eligible for assignment.
Assign unset by account: group eligible candidates by account/domain; assign the whole account to
one rep (round-robin/load-balanced; if any contact at the account already has an sdr_owner, use that
rep). SHADOW: propose the assignment in the report. LIVE: set sdr_owner via
hubspot_update_contact (propagates to Nooks). Never overwrite an existing sdr_owner.
Result: a clean per-rep candidate set with zero cross-rep overlap.
A devil's-advocate pass that must run on every candidate account before enrollment — challenge
each one with "is there a reason we should NOT touch this?". Two hard exclusions:
Active AE deal (Lex / Phil): if the account has an open deal owned by or collaborated on by
Lex Evans (82625923) or Phil Sandler (190030668) → EXCLUDE (do not autopilot-dial an
account with a live AE opportunity). Surface it as AE-ACTIVE → coordinate with <AE>, never enroll.
Check via hubspot_search_deals (owner/collaborator filter, open stages) associated to the account,
or Epiphan AI ask_agent / sales_brief for the account's open pipeline.
Recent purchase (last 12 months): if the account purchased within the last 12 months
(crm_get_customer_orders / query_dataset revenue / closed-won deal in window) → EXCLUDE as a
recent customer; route to CS/expansion, not cold dial. (Catches recent buyers that a stale
lifecyclestage would miss.)
Run this as a real audit step (optionally via a devils-advocate subagent over the candidate list);
log every exclusion with its reason. Also re-applies the standard customer/channel checks as backstop.
Stage 3 — Qualify + score
qualify_lead (Epiphan AI) → category (ideal_mql/warm/nurture/junk), power_level (atl/btl/unknown),
region, junk flag. Drop junk; nurture → leave for email-only, don't auto-enroll the dial cadence.
Persona match to a v1 vertical persona using the exact title filters in
reference/nooks-personas-v2.md (Live Event Producer, Higher Ed Lecture Capture Lead,
Community College Media Coordinator, Corporate Video Specialist). Respect each persona's
"Title does NOT include" exclusions.
Win-pattern weighting (from Tim's + AE conversion data, see reference/): boost
AV/Media Services Manager–Director and Head/Director of Instructional Technology (incl.
Law/Med variants); down-weight central-IT-only with no AV project and junior specialists.
"Why now" signal per reference/nooks-signals-v1.md: legacy-capture-HW EOL (Matrox/Extron
SMP), competing capture/PC-Windows tech, job-change, recent expansion. For v1, inherit the
signal from the source-list context (e.g. a Greenfield/EOL-bucketed list) and any obvious
title/firmographic cue; full detection is v3.
Auto-enroll gate (see config): persona-in-focus + power_level == atl + not junk → eligible.
Category nurture does not block (it under-rates Live Events). GRAY → hold for Tim; BTL → skip.
Priority score (drives per-rep ranking + the top-5; category is one input, not a gate):
score = 0.30·signal_strength + 0.25·ICP_vertical_score + 0.20·win_pattern_weight + 0.15·category_rank(ideal_mql=1.0 / warm=0.6 / nurture=0.3) + 0.10·phone_present.
Signal strength: legacy-HW-EOL / competing-tech / job-change = high; expansion/hiring = medium; none = low.
Win-pattern: AV/Media Manager–Director + Head/Dir Instructional Technology = high; central-IT-only / junior = low.
Stage 4 — Route
Map play → Nooks sequence id (Routing table). A detected job-change or lost-deal signal
overrides the list default. Record sequence_id, sequence_name, and a one-line routing_reason.
Stage 5 — Enroll (SHADOW-GATED)
If SHADOW_MODE == true (default): DO NOT call any Nooks/HubSpot write tool. Build the
enrollment plan and emit the report (Stage 8). Each row: lead, persona, signal, ATL/BTL,
phone status, routed sequence + reason, and what would happen ("would enroll", "would set
[Epiphan AI] Enrolled").
If SHADOW_MODE == false: per ATL lead, up to DAILY_ENROLL_CAP:
Resolve the Nooks prospect: listSequenceStates/prospect search by email; the Nooks
prospect.crmId equals the HubSpot contactId. If absent, create the prospect (syncProspects/create).
createSequenceState({data:{prospect:{id}, sequence:{id}, owner:{id: <rep Nooks userId>}, mailbox:{id: <rep mailbox>}, state:"active"}}). The owner (rep's Nooks userId, mapped from
sdr_owner via the roster table) makes the cadence + its call/manual tasks land in that rep's queue;
the mailbox sends auto-emails from that rep. (Target sequences are team_editable, so any owner
is allowed.)
Reflect state on the HubSpot contact: set epiphan_ai_status = "enrolled" (drives [Epiphan AI] Enrolled 4575). The nooks_active_in_sequence / nooks_sequenced_by / nooks_current_sequence_name
mirrors are maintained by the Nooks↔HubSpot sync — confirm at first live run; write them if the sync lags.
Respect the per-rep daily cap; log any failures and continue (graceful degradation).
Multi-threading is only safe if one SDR owns the entire account. Never let 2–3 SDRs dial the
same company — that's worse than not multi-threading.
Account = atomic ownership unit. Every contact at an account (grouped by registrable domain)
carries the same sdr_owner. When the skill adds a 2nd/3rd contact (multi-thread), that contact
inherits the account's existing sdr_owner — never round-robin a teammate onto an owned account.
Conflict detection: if an account already has contacts with differentsdr_owner values,
flag it as a SPLIT ACCOUNT and consolidate to one rep (default: the rep who owns the most/most-senior
contact, or who has an active Nooks enrollment there) before enrolling anyone new.
Missing economic buyer: if an account has no Manager/Director-level (ATL) contact in the plan,
call hubspot_find_contacts_by_role(domain, titles:[AV/Media/IT Director, Head of Instructional Technology]) to surface it — and attach it to the same sdr_owner as the rest of the account.
Rationale (evidence): every 2026 single-threaded deal below Manager level lost.
Stage 7 — Monitor + warm handoff (runs every invocation)
Detect warm prospects via two signals (no email-body parsing needed):
Reply:epiphan_ai_status == replied (membership in [Epiphan AI] Replied 4576) — the Epiphan AI
pipeline already detects email replies.
Call outcome: a Nooks call disposition of Meeting Booked / Connected / Referral on the
prospect (poll listCalls/dispositions, or listSequenceStates(filter_updatedAt_gte: last_run) for
states that changed). A finished state with none of these = cold-complete (status → completed), not warm.
For each warm prospect:
finishSequenceState(id) if still active/paused (halt remaining touches).
Set epiphan_ai_status = "replied" on the contact.
Notify the owning rep (sdr_owner): hubspot_create_contact_task(contactId, ownerId: <sdr_owner>, taskType:CALL, subject:"WARM — replied/booked in Nooks", dueDate: today) and surface in that rep's next morning-brief.
Stage 7b — Per-rep "next best 5 to call"
Prioritize each rep's owned + newly-assigned candidates and surface their TOP_N_PER_REP (5).
Rank by: persona-fit + ICP vertical score, "why now" signal strength (EOL/competing-tech/job-change
highest), ATL power level, win-pattern weighting (AV/Media Manager–Director + Instructional Technology
up; central-IT-only/junior down), and phone-present. Each entry: name, title, company, phone, persona,
signal, routed sequence, one-line "why call now". This is the rep's dial list for the block — and it
contains only leads no other rep is working (Stage 2b guarantees it).
Stage 8 — Report (per rep) + outcome sidecar
Fill reference/dial-list-report-template.html (self-contained; repeat the .rep block per dialing
rep, the .card block ×5 for their Next-Best-5, and a .candidates row per lead) and write it to the
output dir as nooks_autopilot_<YYYY-MM-DD>.html. Mode badge = SHADOW or LIVE. Each rep section shows
their Next-Best 5 to Call (ranked by the priority score, with a one-line "why now") + a collapsible
full candidate table (disposition: would-enroll / enrolled / skipped+reason, persona, signal, sequence,
ATL/BTL, phone, multi-thread gaps). Header KPIs: candidates, qualified ATL, planned/enrolled, double-dials
prevented, warm handoffs. Then write
~/.claude/skill-analytics/last-outcome-nooks-autopilot.json:
✅ Warm detection:epiphan_ai_status==replied OR Nooks disposition Meeting Booked/Connected/Referral.
Remaining confirmations (first live run only)
Each rep's Nooks mailbox id (listMailboxes filter by user) for auto-email send-as.
Whether the Nooks↔HubSpot sync auto-maintains nooks_active_in_sequence/epiphan_ai_status on a
Nooks-side enrollment, or this skill must write them.
Coordinate with the existing Epiphan AI prospecting agent (it also sets epiphan_ai_status and
may enroll via Apollo) so a contact isn't worked by both pipelines — treat epiphan_ai_status ∈ {enrolled,sent,replied} and hs_currently_enrolled_in_prospecting_agent=true as "hands off".
Guardrails
SHADOW first. Never make a Nooks/HubSpot write while SHADOW_MODE == true.
Auto-enroll ATL only; GRAY needs Tim's ok; never auto-enroll BTL.
Honor the daily cap and the Suppression Gate every run.
Validate any customer-facing claim via Epiphan AI product search / the Verified spec bank
before content personalization (v3) — never quote specs from memory.
The agent only mutates [AI] -prefixed lists it owns; state is reflected via contact properties.
Scheduling
Cron:schedule frontmatter 0 5 8 * * 1-5 (sec-min-hour order, matching sibling skills) =
weekdays 08:05 America/New_York, right after morning-brief.
One run, all reps: a single daily run produces the report segmented per rep (each rep reads their
own section + Next-Best-5). Simpler than 4 crons and gives every SDR their queue. (Optional later: split
into per-rep scheduled runs if reps want independent timing.)
Monitor pass (Stage 7) runs on every invocation; optionally add a lighter midday cron
(0 0 13 * * 1-5) so same-day replies/bookings get halted + handed off quickly.
