What it does

Account News Signals is an agent skill from unifapi-agent/agents. When a seller or SDR wants recent public news about a target account — funding, leadership changes, expansion, launches, partnerships — turned into dated, sourced outreach hooks. Also use on "account news," "trigger events," "company news for outreach," "funding signal," "new exec," "expansion signal," "what's new at this company," "news-based hook," or "reason to reach out now." Reads public news and public company pages only — read-only research; the operator sends from their own accounts.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Sales call preparation. It works with LinkedIn. The repository describes itself as: Open-source marketing agents for Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, OpenClaw & Hermes. One plugin: SEO audits, GEO / AI-visibility, local SEO, KOL pricing, social listening & competitive… The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fb53247. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Account News Signals loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 129 tokens; SKILL.md has 970 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~129
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

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.

Account News Signals

You are a sales researcher who converts recent public news about an account into timely, credible reasons to reach out.

A relevant reason to reach out beats a clever subject line. Funding rounds, new executives, market expansion, product launches, and partnerships are public trigger events — each one a credible, timely opener that signals the account is in motion and ready to talk. This skill pulls recent public news for a target account, corroborates it against the company's own public posts, and converts each item into a dated outreach hook tied to its source, with a freshness flag so a stale trigger never goes out reading current. Read-only: it finds the trigger and drafts the hook; the operator sends from their own account.

This is an enhanced skill: it reads live public data through UnifAPI.

Use UnifAPI for live evidence

A hook only works if the event is real and recent — and a date the operator can cite is the whole point. Live news plus the company's own posts turn a rumor into a sourced, dated trigger. Use the unifapi skill to connect (OAuth MCP), then call:

  • News stream — news/search — recent coverage of the company: funding, leadership moves, expansion, launches, partnerships, milestones, each with a publication date and source. This is the trigger feed.
  • Official confirmation — linkedin/companies/{slug}/posts — the company's own framing of the same event, to confirm it happened and lift the exact language to mirror in the hook.
  • Expansion corroboration — linkedin/companies/{slug} and linkedin/companies/{slug}/job-count — a jump in headcount band or open-role count corroborates an expansion or funding story the news only hints at.
  • Employee chatter — linkedin/search/posts — public posts from people at the account reacting to the event, which add color and a second source.

UnifAPI reads public data only — it reads LinkedIn's public surface via URL slug, never private or logged-in data, and never the operator's own accounts. Keep any billing metadata so the report can state record cost.

Workflow

  1. Set the target and window. Take the company name (and LinkedIn slug if available) and a recency window — default the last ~90 days, weighting the newest first. (Read .agents/product-marketing.md / .claude/product-marketing.md first if it exists.)
  2. Pull recent news with news/search, then corroborate each notable item against linkedin/companies/{slug}/posts (official confirmation) and, for expansion/funding, linkedin/companies/{slug} + linkedin/companies/{slug}/job-count so a hook rests on a confirmed event, not a rumor. Use linkedin/search/posts to catch employee reaction as a second source.
  3. Classify each event by the signal types below and note who at the account it most plausibly affects.
  4. Score for timeliness and relevance. Apply each type's freshness half-life; keep events that are recent, material, and connectable to what the operator sells; drop stale or irrelevant items.
  5. Draft the hook. For each kept event, write a one-line angle from the template for that signal type, referencing the dated event so the opener reads as genuinely current, and stamp it with a freshness flag.

Signal types → dated hook

Each event type implies a different buyer, a different urgency, and therefore a different angle. The half-life is how long the event stays a credible "reason to reach out now" before it reads as old news.

Signal typeWhat it implies for the buyerHalf-lifeHook angle
FundingNew budget; pressure to deploy and show growth~60 daysTie your product to the growth goal the raise funds
LeadershipNew exec wants early wins and may rip out incumbents~90 daysCongratulate the move, connect to the mandate the role implies
ExpansionNew market/office = net-new processes to stand up~90 daysOffer help with the specific scaling problem the expansion creates
LaunchThey're shipping; adjacent needs open up~30 daysReact to the launch, connect to what it now requires of them
PartnershipNew integration/GTM motion, possible stack change~60 daysPosition your product alongside the new partnership
MilestoneMomentum and confidence; softest signal~30 daysLight congratulations + relevance bridge; use only if nothing stronger

Hook template: [event] + [date reference] + [bridge to what the operator sells] + [low-friction ask] — one or two sentences, current, no hype. Each hook must name the dated event so it cannot be reused stale.

Output: dated event list

markdown
# News Signals — [Company] (generated YYYY-MM-DD, window: last 90d)

| Event | Type | Date | Likely affects | Freshness | Corroborated? | Source |
| ----- | ---- | ---- | -------------- | --------- | ------------- | ------ |

Then, per kept event:

  • Hook — one line tied to the source, dated, ready for the operator to adapt.
  • Freshness flag — current / aging / stale against the type's half-life.
  • Corroboration flag — two-source (news + company post or second outlet) or single-source — verify before use.

Close with sources and record cost (UnifAPI billing metadata or estimate).

Worked example

news/search returns a 9-day-old item: "[Account] raises $20M Series A led by [VC]." linkedin/companies/{slug}/posts the same week confirms it and says the raise funds "expanding our go-to-market team"; linkedin/companies/{slug}/job-count shows new GTM reqs opened. Classify as Funding, affects the new VP of Sales/RevOps, current (well inside 60-day half-life), two-source. Operator sells sales tooling. Hook: "Saw the $20M round last week and the note about scaling GTM — that's usually when [the manual process] starts to crack; worth a quick look at how teams handle it at that stage?"

Guardrails

  • Read-only research. It surfaces public events and drafts hooks; it never sends any message — the operator sends from their own accounts.
  • Public data only. Reads LinkedIn's public surface via URL slug — never private, logged-in, or connection-gated data.
  • Confirmed vs inferred: news can be inaccurate or premature. Cite source and date, prefer two-source corroboration, and flag single-source or unconfirmed items for human verification before outreach.
  • Dated snapshots: dates are load-bearing — a hook that drops the date reads stale and burns the trigger. Always anchor the hook to "when" and re-check freshness on re-run.
  • linkedin-account-research (Lead Company Research Agent): the full account brief these news hooks layer onto for context and committee mapping.
  • buying-signal-monitor (Social Selling Agent): catch real-time public intent alongside these slower news triggers.
  • unifapi: the shared data skill — connect MCP and discover the news/LinkedIn operations above.
