SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Setting up a multi-tool outreach pipeline (data sources, email verification, sequence builders, physical mail) is error-prone for newcomers, especially those new to Claude Code. This Skill walks a first-time user from a fresh clone to a working, verified configuration without requiring them to read every doc first. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided setup ladder: Walks each integration rung — udu or Inven data source, Verifalia, Reply.io, Lob — verifying every connection with a real command before advancing. - Resumable and idempotent: Detects what is already configured and skips completed steps, so it is safe to re-run at any time. - First screened list fast: Prioritizes getting the user to a real screened company list before asking for optional credentials, then drives voice-profile creation and letter setup. - Use Case: A searcher just cloned the repo and has never used Claude Code. They type "/onboarding" and are walked through orientation, skill installation, buy-box seeding, connecting a udu API key, and screening their first sample of companies — with each step verified before moving on. ## Quick Start Ask Claude Code to run /onboarding to set up the repo, connect a data source, and produce your first screened company list.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up the Open Sourcing outreach skills after cloning the repo?

Run /onboarding in Claude Code after copying the skills to ~/.claude/skills. It locates your repo, installs the skills, seeds a buy-box, connects a data source, and gets you to a first screened company list, verifying each step with a real command.

What do I need to configure before running a search-fund outreach cycle?

At minimum you need Claude Code and one data source: a udu API key or an Inven subscription over MCP. Verifalia, Reply.io, and Lob are optional rungs that add email verification, sequences, and physical mail respectively.

Should I use udu or Inven as my company data source?

udu needs one API key with no MCP server and is stronger on fragmented, owner-operated local businesses. Inven is a paid subscription reached over MCP, stronger on consolidated verticals with verified funding data. You can also set provider to both.

Can I re-run the onboarding skill if setup was interrupted?

Yes. The onboarding flow is resumable and idempotent: it runs a status check at the start, detects what is already configured, and skips completed steps, so re-running it is safe.

Is it safe to paste my API keys into the Claude Code chat during setup?

No. The onboarding skill never asks you to paste secrets into chat. It prints the exact shell command that writes each credential, you run it yourself in your own terminal, and the skill verifies the result with a read-only command.
