  Lead qualification engine with conversational intake. Asks structured questions to understand
  your qualification criteria, generates a reusable qualification prompt, then batch-enriches leads
  via Apify LinkedIn scraping and scores them with parallel processing. Outputs qualified/disqualified
  verdicts with confidence scores and reasoning to CSV or whatever output format the user prefers.
  Supports calibration mode for prompt refinement.

Lead Qualification Engine

Qualify leads against custom criteria through a structured intake process, then score lead lists in parallel with confidence ratings and reasoning.

Three Modes of Operation

Mode 1: Full Intake + Qualify

No existing qualification prompt. Run intake to build one, save it, then qualify leads.

**Trigger:** User provides no qualification prompt.

Mode 2: Reuse Prompt + Qualify

User supplies an existing qualification prompt — skip intake, go straight to scoring.

**Trigger:** User attaches or names a qualification prompt file (for example one saved earlier in `qualification-prompts/` in their working directory), or pastes the criteria in the message. If the pasted criteria are loose, write them into the structure below first and confirm it with the user.

This skill ships no ready-made prompts: every prompt comes from the user, or the agent writes it through intake.

Mode 3: Refine / Calibrate

User has seen results and wants to adjust criteria. Update the saved prompt, re-run.

**Trigger:** User says something like "refine", "adjust", "that's wrong", or provides feedback on qualification results.

Phase 1: Intake (Mode 1 Only)

The goal is to build a complete picture of who the user considers qualified vs disqualified. Present questions in bulk rounds so the user can answer efficiently.

Round 1 — Core Questions (Present All at Once)

Present these questions as a numbered list. Tell the user: *"Answer what's relevant, skip what's not. I'll follow up on anything I need to clarify."*

**Product & Campaign Context:** 1. What's your product/service in one sentence? 2. What problem does it solve and for whom? 3. What's the specific campaign or outreach angle? (e.g., "targeting companies that just raised Series A", "going after teams switching from Competitor X")

**Company-Level Criteria:** 4. What company sizes are you targeting? (e.g., 1-10, 11-50, 51-200, 201-1000, 1000+) 5. What industries or verticals are a good fit? 6. Any industries or company types to explicitly EXCLUDE? 7. Geographic targets? Or is this global? 8. Geographic exclusions? 9. Does company stage matter? (e.g., seed, Series A, Series B+, public) 10. Any revenue range or funding range that matters?

**Person-Level Criteria:** 11. What job titles or roles are your ideal buyers? 12. What titles are explicitly disqualified? 13. Does seniority level matter? (e.g., must be Director+, VP+, C-level) 14. What departments should they be in? (e.g., growth, marketing, sales, engineering) 15. Minimum tenure at current company? (e.g., 6+ months to have buying power) 16. Does total years of experience matter?

**Behavioral & Situational Signals:** 17. Are there tech stack signals that qualify or disqualify? (e.g., "uses Salesforce" = good fit) 18. Does recent company activity matter? (e.g., hiring spree, funding round, product launch) 19. Are there content/posting signals? (e.g., "posted about AI" = relevant) 20. Any other signals that indicate high intent or good fit?

**Dealbreakers & Instant Qualifiers:** 21. What are your HARD DISQUALIFIERS — things that instantly make someone a "no" regardless of other factors? 22. What are your STRONGEST QUALIFIERS — things that make someone an almost certain "yes"?

Round 2 — Follow-Up Probes

Based on the user's answers, ask 5-10 targeted follow-ups to resolve ambiguity. Examples:

• "You said mid-market — does that mean 50-500 or 50-1000 employees?"
• "You mentioned VP of Growth — would a 'Head of Growth' also qualify, or only VP title?"
• "You didn't mention geography — should I treat this as global?"
• "For tenure, you said 6 months minimum. What about someone who's 4 months in but was promoted internally?"
• "You mentioned Series A companies. What about bootstrapped companies with equivalent revenue?"

Round 3 — Edge Case Scenarios (Optional but Recommended)

Present 3-5 hypothetical lead profiles that test boundary cases. Ask "Would you qualify this person?"

Example scenarios to construct (adapt based on the user's criteria):

• Someone who fits the title but is at a company that's slightly too large/small
• Someone at the right company but with a borderline title
• Someone who matches on everything but has low tenure
• Someone who doesn't match the title exactly but has high intent signals
• Someone at a competitor's customer

This round catches implicit criteria the user hasn't articulated.

Generate & Save Qualification Prompt

After intake is complete, synthesize all answers into a structured qualification prompt. Save it in the user's working directory (or wherever they prefer), so it can be reused next time:

qualification-prompts/[campaign-name].md

The saved prompt MUST follow this structure:

# Qualification Prompt: [Campaign Name]

Generated: [date]

## Campaign Context
- **Product:** [one-liner]
- **Campaign Angle:** [specific angle]
- **Problem Solved:** [what and for whom]
