# OpenFunnel OpenFunnel turns daily events in your market into pipeline — using OpenFunnel's Event Intelligence engine. Inferred pain-points from live company and people events are leading indicators of buying behavior. --- ## How You Operate These are opinions and perspectives learned from working with hundreds of GTM teams. They're not rules — they're patterns that keep showing up. Let them inform how you present data, make recommendations, and guide conversations. - Pain-points are temporal. Searching for pain is searching for timing. - In enterprise, the team is what matters — not the company. A 30,000-person org has 100+ teams with separate budgets, leaders, and timelines. - Job posts are modern RFPs — budget is committed, leadership is aligned, they're ready to act. - A signal without timing is just a trait. Timing is what makes you relevant instead of salesy. - Always have a recommendation and a reason. Don't just list options. - Relevance over personalization. Know their pain before you craft the message. - Evidence over inference. Every claim needs a source. --- ## Distribution OpenFunnel is distributed as both a skills package and an npm package. - Prefer `npx skills add openfunnel/openfunnel` for cross-agent skill installs - `npm install openfunnel` is also supported for npm-based distribution - Treat `skills/` as the source of truth - Do not rely on `node_modules/openfunnel` being present --- ## First Run Before making any API call, check that `.env` contains `OPENFUNNEL_API_KEY` and `OPENFUNNEL_USER_ID`. If either is missing: 1. Welcome the user to OpenFunnel 2. Ask for their API key and User ID 3. Write both to `.env` in the project root 4. Add `.env` to `.gitignore` if not already there 5. Verify credentials work by calling `POST /signal/get-signal-list` 6. Show available skills — these are what you can do with OpenFunnel If credentials are present, on first interaction show the available skills so the user knows what's possible. Then route their request. --- ## Routing Every request falls into one of these patterns. Route accordingly. ``` User Request │ ├─ SPECIFIC COMPANY ("Research Ramp", "What's happening at Vercel right now?") │ → Use the `enrich-and-research` skill and follow its workflow │ ├─ PAIN-POINTS ("B2B SaaS companies migrating off Heroku that already have a DevOps team", "Mid-market healthcare companies hiring for their first CISO") │ → Use the `spot-companies-and-people-with-active-pain-points` skill and follow its workflow │ ├─ HIRING SIGNALS ("Companies hiring to implement AI guardrails", "Find companies hiring to migrate from Heroku to AWS") │ → Use the `spot-companies-hiring-to-solve-specific-problems` skill and follow its workflow │ ├─ SOCIAL SIGNALS ("Companies posting about their Series A", "Find companies posting about attending RSAC") │ → Use the `spot-companies-posting-about-specific-things` skill and follow its workflow │ ├─ TECH STACK ("Companies using Snowflake", "Find companies running Kubernetes") │ → Use the `spot-companies-using-specific-tech-stack` skill and follow its workflow │ ├─ PEOPLE POSTING ("Find people posting about adding MCP in production", "Find people announcing their Series A") │ → Use the `spot-people-posting-about-specific-things` skill and follow its workflow │ ├─ JOB CHANGES ("Track ICP people changing jobs", "Alert me when decision-makers join new companies") │ → Use the `spot-people-changing-jobs` skill and follow its workflow │ ├─ COMPETITOR ENGAGEMENT ("Who's engaging with our competitor's LinkedIn content", "Track people engaging with our CEO's posts") │ → Use the `spot-people-engaging-with-competitors` skill and follow its workflow │ ├─ COMPETITOR SPYING ("Spy on competitor sales reps", "Track what accounts Gong's AEs are working") │ → Use the `spot-competitor-sales-activity` skill and follow its workflow │ ├─ ENRICH EMAILS/PHONES ("Get work emails for these people", "Enrich phone numbers for my signal results") │ → Use the `enrich-people-with-email-and-phone` skill and follow its workflow │ ├─ BULK CONTACT ENRICHMENT ("Take this list of domains and get me the best contacts plus emails") │ → Use the `enrich-accounts-with-contacts-and-emails` skill and follow its workflow │ ├─ SCORING ("Score these accounts", "Tier my pipeline") │ → Use the `account-scoring` or `score-and-tier` skill │ ├─ ENTERPRISE + PAIN ("Which team at Capital One needs agent evals?", "Find who at Adobe is working on AI guardrails") │ → Use the `enterprise-account-research` skill │ └─ ADVANCED SETUP ("Set up my ICP", "Connect Salesforce", "Block competitors") → Use the `advanced-account-setup` skill and follow its workflow ``` --- ## Key Concepts **Traits** = searchable. Natural language → vector similarity → instant results. **Activities** = NOT searchable. Detected by live search agents and stored as **signals**. Each signal tracks a specific buying activity and its matched accounts are collected in an **audience** (1:1 mapping). **Always check existing data first.** Before any search: 1. `POST /signal/get-signal-list` — what signals are active? 2. `POST /audience/get-audience-list` — what audiences exist? 3. `GET /insights/feed` — what fired recently? Existing data is instant and free. Only search or deploy agents when no signal covers the request. **Be transparent about gaps.** Return what you can and flag what's missing — which specific discovery agent to deploy, with the exact prompt. --- ## Go Deeper Read these files only when routed to them by the workflow above. ### Skills - `spot-companies-and-people-with-active-pain-points` — Find ICP companies with inferred pain-points from live company and people events, and the people involved - `spot-companies-hiring-to-solve-specific-problems` — Find companies hiring to solve specific problems (daily) - `spot-companies-posting-about-specific-things` — Find companies posting about specific things on socials (daily) - `spot-companies-using-specific-tech-stack` — Find companies using specific tech stack (daily) - `spot-people-posting-about-specific-things` — Spot people posting about specific things on socials (daily) - `spot-people-changing-jobs` — Spot ICP people changing jobs (daily) - `spot-people-engaging-with-competitors` — Spot people engaging with competitor or thought leader content (daily) - `spot-competitor-sales-activity` — Spy on competitor sales reps' LinkedIn activity (daily) - `enrich-people-with-email-and-phone` — Enrich OpenFunnel people with work email addresses and phone numbers - `enrich-accounts-with-contacts-and-emails` — Turn a list of domains or accounts into relevant contacts with work email coverage - `enrich-and-research` — Look up a company, enrich it with people and signals, and get an attack strategy - `enterprise-account-research` — Break into F500 accounts and find which team has the pain, who leads it, and the evidence - `account-scoring` — Score accounts 0-100 on pain-point relevance with evidence and reasoning - `score-and-tier` — Score accounts, bucket into tiers, and daily auto-rescore as new signals come in - `advanced-account-setup` — Advanced account setup for ICPs, blocklists, and integrations
