Directory Research Planner
Purpose
Turn an ICP or research goal into a plan for finding and scraping suitable directories.
When to use this skill
- Planning where to source a new list
- Translating an ICP into search queries
- Choosing the right directory types
- Scoping a scraping project before starting
When not to use this skill
- You already have your source list
- You need the data extracted now (this plans, it does not scrape)
- Your audience is not present in public directories
Required inputs
- An ICP or research goal
Optional inputs
- Known good sources
- Geographies to focus on
- Fields you must collect
Rules
- Tie every recommendation to the stated ICP/goal.
- Suggest public, accessible source types.
- Make inclusion and exclusion criteria explicit.
- Recommend an efficient extraction order.
- Note assumptions where the goal is vague.
Process
- Parse the ICP or goal.
- Identify directory and source types.
- Draft search queries.
- Define fields and inclusion/exclusion criteria.
- Recommend an extraction workflow.
Output format
Return a sourcing plan with the following fields:
- directory_types
- suggested_source_categories
- search_queries
- fields_to_collect
- inclusion_criteria
- exclusion_criteria
- recommended_extraction_workflow
Validation
- Confirm sources match the ICP.
- Confirm criteria are explicit and testable.
- Confirm the workflow is actionable.
Limitations
- It plans sources; it does not verify they exist.
- Some audiences are not well represented in public directories.
