How this skill runs


# Nocto Scout

## When to run

When NoctoLab needs a fresh list of lead prospects — businesses that need a website. Run it before an outreach push or on a weekly cadence to keep the pipeline full.

## What you'll get

A structured list of prospective clients: business name, category, whether they have a website (no / weak / none), online presence signals (Google Maps, social, reviews), a reason this business is a good fit, and a suggested contact angle. Ready for the Nocto Hunter to pursue.

## Steps

1. Search the vault for any existing outreach or prospect notes: query the FTS5 index for the target area and business type. Note any prospects already contacted to avoid duplicates.

2. Use web search to find businesses of the requested type in the area. Focus on: Google Maps listings, directory listings, Facebook pages, and local business lists. Capture name, category, and contact info where visible.

3. For each business, check whether it has its own website (search `<business name> <area>`). Classify: `no-site`, `weak-site` (outdated, no mobile optimization), or `good-site` (skip).

4. Score each prospect 1-10 for NoctoLab fit: no/weak website is highest priority, followed by signs the owner is active (recent reviews, active social) and has budget (category type).

5. Pick the top `max_prospects` and write each as: name, category, site-status, online-signals, why-fit, suggested-contact-angle.

6. Save the list to `wiki/prospects-[area-slug].md`.
