Creator Shortlist

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Has a campaign brief and needs a ranked shortlist of creators to work with
• Tasks that involve Influencer and creator marketing

Example prompts

• “find influencers for,”
• “build a creator list,”
• “who should we sponsor,”
• “/creator-shortlist”

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Lock the brief — required. (Read .agents/product-marketing.md / .claude/product-marketing.md first if it exists.) Confirm niche/topic…
2. 2Discover per platform. Run the DISCOVER ops above — communities, lists, hashtag pages, keyword searches — and collect 15–30 candidates…
3. 3Profile each candidate. Pull follower/subscriber count, recent-post engagement rate, posting cadence, account age, and topical relevance…
4. 4Score every candidate on the four-axis rubric below to a 0–100 fit score, then rank.
5. 5Apply gates (safety, budget, evidence) — they override raw score.
6. 6Write an outreach angle per shortlisted creator — one concrete hook tied to a specific recent post, plus the collab type that fits. The…
7. 7Stop at the shortlist unless the user asks for full campaign ops. If they need budget forecasting, confirmation decisions, content…

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

Creator Shortlist loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 112 tokens; SKILL.md has 900 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~112

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~2.3k

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

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.

# Creator Shortlist — {Brief} — {date}

| Rank | Creator        | Platform | Followers | Eng. rate | Niche | Aud. | Momentum | Platform | Fit    | Cost band |

## Per shortlisted creator

**@devtoolsdaily** — recent posts are dev-tooling demos; commenters are builders. Discovered via `x/lists/{id}/members` (a "dev tools" list). Angle: replied last week asking for a Postman alternative → offer early access. Collab: oneshot demo.

## Skip / not-now

- @cryptopumpz (X, 200k) — off-niche (trading) + competitor-sponsorship pattern → safety + niche fail, skip.
- buildwithlena flagged "lead big bet": $1.5–3k eats most of budget → can't pair with others.

Records consumed: ~{N} (or estimate if billing metadata unavailable).
