leadership-change-outreach

End-to-end leadership change signal composite. Takes any set of companies, detects recent leadership changes (new VP+, C-suite hires and promotions), evaluates relevance to your product, and drafts personalized outreach. Uses Apollo People Search (free) for fast detection + Apollo Enrichment (1 credit/person) for employment history, start dates, LinkedIn URLs, and verified emails.

Quality

Content

70%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is a well-structured, actionable multi-step workflow with strong validation checkpoints, but it is verbose in places and monolithic — inlining reference material that would benefit from separate files.

Suggestions

Move the sales-psychology ('Why leadership changes work') and 'Why this beats web search' rationale into a brief sentence or a separate reference, since Claude can infer the strategic reasoning.

Extract the large Apollo title list and post-filter code into a reference file (e.g. references/apollo_titles.py) and link to it from Step 0/1 to improve progressive disclosure.

Provide a single end-to-end runnable pipeline snippet that ties the Phase 1-4 calls together, closing the actionability gap.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Mostly efficient with concrete contracts and code, but includes unnecessary explanatory padding such as 'Why leadership changes work' (new-leader psychology Claude can infer) and 'Why this beats web search' marketing justification.	3 / 5
Actionability	Provides concrete executable Python (search_people filters, the is_valid_gtm_leader post-filter, enrichment payload), config tables, and output contracts; minor gaps such as no full pipeline loop scaffold keep it just below fully copy-paste-ready.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Steps 0-5 are clearly sequenced, each with Purpose, Input/Output Contracts, and an explicit Human Checkpoint validation gate (with credit tracking) providing feedback loops for the batch/credit-consuming and outreach-launch operations.	5 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	A single ~700-line SKILL.md with no bundle files; content that could be split out (the long Apollo title list, post-filter code, email framework tables) is inlined, though it is well-organized into clearly headed sections.	3 / 5

Description

75%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is specific and distinctive, naming concrete actions and the exact Apollo pipeline used. It is capped on completeness because it lacks an explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause in the frontmatter, and has slightly incomplete keyword synonym coverage.

Suggestions

Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause to the frontmatter description, e.g. 'Use when the user mentions leadership changes, new executive hires, or wants outreach to recently-appointed leaders.'

Include common synonyms such as 'executive moves', 'new hires', and 'role changes' to broaden natural trigger coverage.

Tighten the cost detail ('1 credit/person') into the trigger clause so the activation condition is self-contained.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — 'detects recent leadership changes (new VP+, C-suite hires and promotions)', 'evaluates relevance to your product', 'drafts personalized outreach', and specifies the Apollo tools and data returned — giving comprehensive coverage.	5 / 5
Completeness	The 'what' is clearly and concretely answered, but the frontmatter description has no explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause — per the judging guidelines a missing trigger clause caps completeness at 3.	3 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Good natural keyword coverage ('leadership changes', 'C-suite hires and promotions', 'personalized outreach', 'verified emails'), but misses common synonyms like 'executive moves' and 'new hires' and has no file-extension-style triggers.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	A clearly defined niche (leadership-change detection via a specific Apollo free-search-plus-enrichment pipeline) with distinct triggers and minimal overlap with other skills.	5 / 5
