What it does

Lead Capture is an agent skill from cbrock84/headcount. Converts anonymous traffic into known contacts — lead magnets, gated content, free tools, popups, and the forms behind them. Use this to design or improve a lead magnet, plan a free tool, add or fix popups and overlays, improve form conversion, or decide what is worth gating and what should stay open.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/sources.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Content marketing and Lead generation. The repository describes itself as: An agent organization structured as a company — 15+ departments, 125+ skills, each independently installable, citing the standards and regulators that settle the question. Runs… The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “Use the lead-capture skill to convert anonymous traffic into known contacts — lead magnets, gated content, free tools, popups, and the forms behind…”
  • “/lead-capture”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 98d1c17. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Lead Capture loads about 805 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 473 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~805
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Lead capture

What gating costs

Every gate trades reach for contacts. That trade is worth making only when the contact is genuinely worth more than the reader — which is true far less often than it is assumed.

Gate: things with immediate practical utility that a buyer would use during evaluation — templates, calculators, assessments, data. Do not gate: thought leadership, anything you want cited or shared, or anything a competitor publishes openly.

Lead magnets

The test is whether someone would pay a small amount for it. If not, it will not earn an email address that gets used.

The best ones are things people use rather than read: a template that saves an afternoon, a calculator that answers a specific question, a checklist for a process they are mid-way through. An ebook that restates blog posts is not one.

Match the magnet to a stage. Someone downloading a beginner's guide is not ready for a sales call, and treating them as if they are burns the list.

Free tools

The strongest form: durable, earns links, and qualifies by use rather than by claim.

Build one only if it does something genuinely useful standalone, and keep the gate light — let people use it, and ask for the email to save or export the result. Gating before value is delivered converts a fraction as well.

Popups and overlays

Popups work and are widely hated; both facts matter.

  • Trigger on behavior, not time — exit intent, scroll depth, or a second visit. A popup at three seconds interrupts someone who has not yet decided whether to care.
  • Once per visitor, remembered. Repeated interruption is what generates the hatred.
  • Never on mobile mid-content. Beyond the user cost, it is penalized.
  • Offer something specific. "Subscribe to our newsletter" is not an offer. "The pricing calculator" is.
  • One clear dismissal. Hidden or tiny close buttons cost more in reputation than they gain in conversions.

Forms

Every field costs conversion. Ask for what you need to do the next step and nothing for a later one — enrichment can fill the rest. Explain any field whose purpose is not obvious, since unexplained fields are where people abandon.

Sources

references/sources.md in this skill lists the outside authorities that settle the questions here — what each one is authoritative for, and what you may do with it. Check them before answering on anything they cover, and cite what you used. Most are free to read and not free to reproduce; the use note on each is binding.

Never

  • Gate something the buyer can get ungated elsewhere in one click.
  • Ask for a field nobody downstream uses. Every additional field costs conversion and the sales team is not reading it.
  • Trigger a popup before the visitor has seen anything worth staying for.
  • Treat a form fill as intent. Most of them are people who wanted the asset.
