What it does

Lead Scout is an agent skill from spinabot/brigade. How to find and VERIFY business leads (any niche, any city) — especially "businesses without a website" prospecting. Decides "no website" by SEARCHING the business name, not by a map button. Use whenever the user asks to find businesses, shops, vendors, professionals, or sales leads in a location. No API key needed — websearch + the browser do everything.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Sales & Support, covering Web search and Cold outreach. The repository describes itself as: Brigade — Your personal intelligence, built enterprise-grade. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to find businesses
  • Sales leads in a location

Example prompts

  • “businesses without a website”
  • “no website”
  • “/lead-scout”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Get candidate names — web_search FIRST (don't drive Maps unless search is unavailable)
  2. Decide per business with a search — THIS is the step that determines "no website"
  3. Report each lead with the evidence: name, area/address + phone if found, and why it's a lead — e.g. "searched 'Cafe Borkar Panaji' — only…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c2a18f. 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

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

    • google.com

    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 Scout loads about 954 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 504 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~954

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.

description
How to find and VERIFY business leads (any niche, any city) — especially "businesses without a website" prospecting. Decides "no website" by SEARCHING the business name, not by a map button. Use whenever the user asks to find businesses, shops, vendors, professionals, or sales leads in a location. No API key needed — web_search + the browser do everything.

Lead Scout

Goal: a verified lead = a business that has NO website of its own, confirmed by searching for it — the use case is selling websites to businesses that don't have one. Keyless: web_search + the browser do all the work, no API key.

The rule — what counts as "having a website"

A business has a website only if it has its own site: an official domain (e.g. cafeborkar.com, artjuna.in). These do NOT count as a website:

  • Social pages — instagram.com, facebook.com
  • Aggregators / directories — zomato, swiggy, justdial, tripadvisor, magicpin, dineout
  • Its Google Maps / Google Business listing

So if searching for the business surfaces only those, it has no website → it's a lead.

Method — decide by SEARCH, never by a map button

  1. Get candidate names — web_search FIRST (don't drive Maps unless search is unavailable):
    • web_search "<niche> in <city>" returns businesses + their domains. Often this single search already answers it — a business appearing only on aggregators/social with no own domain is your lead.
    • ONLY if web_search is down/rate-limited: browser navigate to https://www.google.com/maps/search/<niche>+in+<city>, then one snapshot (snapshotFormat:"text")/evaluate to read the whole list at once (never screenshot or click each listing). scroll (to:"bottom") + snapshot again for more.
  2. Decide per business with a search — THIS is the step that determines "no website":
    • web_search "<business name> <city>". (If web_search is rate-limited, run the same query in the browser: navigate to a Bing / DuckDuckGo-html / Google results URL, then snapshot.)
    • Scan the results: is any result the business's own domain (per the rule above)?
      • Yes → it HAS a website — skip it, not a lead.
      • Only social / aggregator / Maps results → no website → it's a lead.
    • Not sure which result is theirs? Open the top non-social hit and snapshot to confirm whose site it is.
  3. Report each lead with the evidence: name, area/address + phone if found, and why it's a lead — e.g. "searched 'Cafe Borkar Panaji' — only an Instagram page and a Zomato listing came up, no own website."

Phone / address

Read them from the search results or the business's own social page. Google Maps hides the phone behind a sign-in in its UI — don't fight that panel; the number is usually right there in the search results or on their Instagram/Facebook.

Anti-patterns

  • NEVER decide "no website" from a missing Google Maps "Website" button. That only means nobody linked a site to Google — the business may well have one. The ONLY valid way to decide is to search the business name and see whether its own site appears.
  • Don't screenshot a listing and read it visually, and don't click into each listing one-by-one — read a list with ONE snapshot/evaluate, then decide by search.
  • Don't spawn a sub-agent just to look up or verify a list — do it inline; a lookup doesn't need a crew.
  • Don't report a lead you haven't actually searched for; never invent phone numbers from memory.
  • If you find yourself repeating the same action without new results, STOP and report what you have so far.
  • Don't treat an aggregator/directory page as the business's website or as the source of truth.
