## How to invoke

```
/sourcing-os [your brief]
```

Examples:
- `/sourcing-os find me 100 senior M&A lawyers in NY for a top-15 PE client`

- `/sourcing-os run waterfall on this JD: [paste JD]`

## What the skill does

For each candidate it finds:

1. Pulls the candidate from Pin
2. Cross-validates the LinkedIn URL via Apify
3. Enriches with verified email + phone via Apollo
4. Researches recent activity for the personalisation hook
5. Scores against your must-haves in under a minute
6. Writes a 1-2 line custom hook for that candidate

Output: a Google Sheet ready to import into Instantly or HeyReach.

---

## The Inclusion Gate (CRITICAL)

To enter any outreach campaign, a candidate row MUST have BOTH:

1. At least one contact channel (email or LinkedIn)
2. A custom 1-2 line hook tailored to them

Missing either, drop the row. Never fabricate data. Empty fields are fine.

---

## Voice rules for the hook

- Reference one specific thing the candidate did, said, built or signed
- One sentence, max two
- No "I came across your profile"
- No flattery — make it feel like the recruiter actually researched

Good: "Saw your work on the Carlyle / Worldpay deal last quarter — your tech-PE crossover is the gap our client is hiring against."

Bad: "I came across your impressive profile and wanted to reach out."

---

## Credit discipline

- Test runs default to 25 candidates. Production runs after a test pass.
- Apollo enrichment runs only after Claude scores fit ≥ 6 (never on rejects)
- Cap Pin recalibration at 5 cycles per job
