Auto Research (Public)

Automated end-to-end campaign launcher. Feed it one target company domain, get back a live Smartlead campaign with per-lead personalization, in about 20 minutes.

This is the beginner-friendly version of the GEX internal auto-research-v2. All state lives in local JSON files; no Supabase, no Trigger.dev.

What you get

• Input: one target company domain + your client-profile.yaml
• Output: a running Smartlead campaign with:
  • 200-1,000 leads (depending on targeting tightness)
  • Per-lead personalization: 9 custom variables (situation, value, CTA × 3 variants)
  • A/B/C subject + body variants tested in parallel
  • Campaign assigned to your available inboxes
  • Schedule: Mon-Fri 8am-5pm your timezone

Prerequisites

Before running:

• client-profile.yaml exists (run /icp-onboarding if not)
• SMARTLEAD_API_KEY in env
• PROSPEO_API_KEY in env
• MILLIONVERIFIER_API_KEY in env (for email validation)
• At least 20 Smartlead inboxes tagged "active" (run /smartlead-inbox-manager first)
• At least 1 campaign template in Smartlead (or the script creates a fresh one)

The orchestration (Claude Code runs this)

Unlike the other skills, this skill orchestrates through the Claude Code conversation itself, Claude does the reasoning (ICP generation, copy writing, personalization), and phase scripts do the heavy API I/O. This is the pattern from the GEX v2 internal.

Phase 1: Scrape the target company

npx tsx scripts/phase-scrape.ts --domain=<target.com> --out=/tmp/auto/scrape.json

Output: JSON with domain + text content from homepage, /about, /product, /pricing, /customers.

Claude reads the output and writes a short analysis to /tmp/auto/company-analysis.md:

• What the company does
• Who their likely customers are
• Social proof signals
• Potential angles for outreach

Phase 2: Claude generates ICP filters
