The skill
Source on GitHub ↗Reproduced in full from rasulshaikh/outbound-skill-pack/blob/9516d4bfa03b15648816760032ec8035370ca9f4/skills/research-signal/SKILL.md, which is licensed MIT (repository). 262 words, 9 headings.
Research Signal
Turn messy research into a ranked signal list the rest of the pack can reuse.
When to use
- New outbound table or campaign brief
- You have a domain list but no clear "why now"
- Agent chat is drifting into generic firmographics
Inputs you must collect
- Product one-liner (what you sell in one sentence)
- Buyer titles and anti-titles
- Geography and company size band
- Any hard disqualifiers (agency, competitor, already customer)
Process
- List candidate signal types (hiring, funding, tech stack, product launch, regulatory change, content themes, job change). Keep only signals you can observe without private data.
- For each signal, define:
- Source pattern (where you would look)
- Freshness window (e.g. 30 / 90 days)
- Strength: strong / medium / weak
- Clay-friendly capture idea (column or scrape shape, not a full build yet)
- Rank top 5 signals for THIS offer. Drop vanity signals that do not change reply odds.
- Write a one-paragraph "signal story" that ties the #1 signal to the offer without inventing proof.
Output format
## Signal board
| Rank | Signal | Freshness | Strength | Capture idea |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | ... | 30d | strong | ... |
## Signal story
...
## Do not chase
- ...
Guardrails
- No fabricated metrics or logos.
- Prefer observable events over personality guesses.
- If evidence is thin, mark strength as weak and say so.
