What it does

Sales Prospecting is an agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. Build targeted prospect lists with verified contact information

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.meta.json`).

It sits in Sales & Support, covering Cold outreach and Lead generation. The repository describes itself as: Library of Growth & GTM skills + data APIs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor to run ads, social, content, lead gen, seo and data scraping. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Cold outreach
  • Tasks that involve Lead generation

Example prompts

  • “/sales-prospecting”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • A credential in GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Define Target Companies
  2. Find Decision Makers
  3. Get All Emails for Company
  4. Find Specific Contact's Email
  5. Verify Emails
  6. Enrich with Company Data

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c650c6d. 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:

    • curl
    • python3
    • npx

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.gooseworks.ai

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Sales Prospecting loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 170 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

Sales Prospecting - Build Quality Lead Lists

Setup

Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:

bash
export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")

If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: npx gooseworks login

All endpoints use Bearer auth: -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY"

Build targeted prospect lists with verified emails and contact information.

Workflow

Step 1: Define Target Companies

Search for companies matching your ICP:

bash
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"fiber","path":"/v1/natural-language-search/companies"}'
  "query": "B2B SaaS startups in San Francisco with 50-200 employees Series A or B funded"
}'
Step 2: Find Decision Makers

Search for people at target companies:

bash
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"fiber","path":"/v1/people-search"}'
  "searchParams": {
    "job_titles": ["CTO", "VP Engineering", "Head of Engineering"],
    "company_names": ["Stripe", "Figma", "Notion"],
    "locations": ["San Francisco"]
  }
}'
Step 3: Get All Emails for Company

Find all contacts at a domain:

bash
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"hunter","path":"/v2/domain-search","query":{"domain":"stripe.com"}}'
Step 4: Find Specific Contact's Email

Find email for a specific person:

bash
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"sixtyfour","path":"/find-email"}'
  "lead": {
    "first_name": "Sarah",
    "last_name": "Chen",
    "domain": "stripe.com"
  }
}'
Step 5: Verify Emails

Check deliverability before outreach:

bash
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"fiber","path":"/v1/validate-email/single","body":{"email":"sarah@stripe.com"}}'
Step 6: Enrich with Company Data

Get company context for personalization:

bash
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"brand-dev","path":"/v1/brand/retrieve","query":{"domain":"stripe.com"}}'
