Person Research
Purpose
Create structured professional research summaries from public profile information, safely.
When to use this skill
- Preparing for a sales or recruiting conversation
- Summarizing a sourced profile list consistently
- Identifying relevant experience for a role or account
- Flagging what is unknown about a contact
When not to use this skill
- You only have a name with no professional context
- You need personal, private, or sensitive attributes (never infer these)
- You want verified contact details rather than a summary
Required inputs
- Public professional profile information
Optional inputs
- The role or account context
- Specific expertise you care about
Rules
- Use only supplied public, professional information.
- Do not infer health, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, political affiliation, or other sensitive personal attributes.
- Do not speculate about personality, intent, or private life.
- Separate stated facts from inferences.
- List unknowns as research gaps.
Process
- Parse the public profile.
- Summarize role, background, and expertise.
- Tie relevant experience to the stated context.
- List affiliations explicitly stated.
- Record research gaps.
Output format
Return one summary per person with the following fields:
- current_role
- professional_background
- areas_of_expertise
- relevant_experience
- affiliations
- research_gaps
Validation
- Confirm no sensitive attributes were inferred.
- Confirm each field cites profile evidence.
- Confirm gaps are listed, not filled.
Limitations
- Profiles may be outdated or incomplete.
- Professional relevance is an interpretation, not a fact.
