What it does

GitHub Lead Gen is an agent skill from Ducksss/codex-profiles. Use when running GitHub lead generation for codex-profiles. Finds repository candidates and performs shallow tracker intake before lead qualification. Not for drafting, outreach, or monitoring.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/search-patterns.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Lead generation. It works with GitHub, OpenAI and Bash. The repository describes itself as: Named CODEXHOME profiles and ChatGPT Desktop windows with separate local state, without copying tokens. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Running GitHub lead generation for codex-profiles
  • Tasks that involve Lead generation

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Search GitHub using the approved lanes in references/search-patterns.md.

  7. Stop after tracker intake. The next workflow is lead qualification.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7152cd5. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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

GitHub Lead Gen loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 438 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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.

GitHub Lead Gen

Purpose

Find GitHub repository candidates for codex-profiles, dedupe them against the outreach tracker, and hand them off for later qualification. This skill only handles candidate discovery and shallow intake.

Required Context

Before searching, read current product positioning from README.md, policy gates from ops/outreach/launch.md, and live distribution state from the outreach tracker. Load references/search-patterns.md for approved search lanes and example queries.

Boundaries

  • Create or update tracker Targets only.
  • Dedupe against existing tracker targets before creating records.
  • Use Log.Workflow = github-lead-gen for every meaningful intake decision.
  • Set Next Action = Run lead qualification on every accepted candidate.
  • Record only a shallow candidate reason; do not assign final ICP.
  • Do not draft PRs, issues, comments, emails, DMs, forum posts, or listing submissions.
  • Do not contact externally.
  • Do not change ops/outreach/launch.md unless the user explicitly asks for a repo-local handoff.

Accepted Input

  • A new repository candidate with no matching tracker target, or an existing target that needs shallow lead-generation evidence refreshed.
  • Do not overwrite a qualified or submitted target's Status, ICP decision, or phase-specific Next Action.
  • Every accepted new target leaves this phase as Status = Backlog and Next Action = Run lead qualification.

Tracker Protocol

Create one unique run-<UTC-timestamp>-<random-suffix> value and use it as <run-id> for the whole invocation. Start with the complete ledger:

sh
node scripts/outreach-tracker.mjs list --json

For an existing target, claim it before changing fields. For a new target, atomically create the shallow row first, then claim it before adding evidence or logging the handoff:

sh
node scripts/outreach-tracker.mjs upsert <key> --name "<name>" \
  --channel "<channel>" --status Backlog \
  --next-action "Run lead qualification" --notes "<candidate reason and source>"
node scripts/outreach-tracker.mjs claim <key> --by <run-id>

If claim exits 3, skip the target without writing or contacting externally. After a successful claim, record the stable phase label and always release, including on failure:

sh
node scripts/outreach-tracker.mjs log --target <key> \
  --workflow github-lead-gen --action Rechecked \
  --result "Candidate captured for lead qualification" --link "<evidence-url>"
node scripts/outreach-tracker.mjs release <key> --by <run-id>

Workflow

  1. Search GitHub using the approved lanes in references/search-patterns.md.
  2. Keep repository-first candidates only; ignore startup, funding, event, and social-only surfaces.
  3. For each candidate, capture the repository URL, likely channel, shallow reason, evidence URL, and duplicate key.
  4. Search tracker Targets by deterministic key and repository URL using the tracker; do not maintain a side ledger.
  5. If an existing target is found, update only stale lead-gen fields and append a github-lead-gen log entry.
  6. If no target exists, create a Targets record with:
    • Key: deterministic slug such as gh-owner-repo, awesome-owner-repo, or if-owner-repo.
    • Channel: best existing lead-gen channel, usually Awesome-List PR, Issue-First, Directory, Web, or Manual/Gated.
    • Status: Backlog only for plausible repository leads awaiting qualification; otherwise skip.
    • Priority: leave blank unless the repository is obviously Codex-specific.
    • Next Action: Run lead qualification.
    • Notes: shallow candidate reason and source query.
  7. Stop after tracker intake. The next workflow is lead qualification.

Output

Return a concise handoff:

  • Candidates added.
  • Existing targets updated.
  • Duplicates skipped.
  • Search lanes tried.
  • Any tracker or GitHub access blockers.
