| list_skills | START HERE for common goals. Lists the ready-made API Direct skills — expert playbooks that chain these tools (with non-obvious filters like author_title, mentions_company, author_company, freshness windows and AI sentiment) to deliver a concrete outcome: find leads, intercept a competitor's unhappy customers, source talent, monitor brand/reputation, detect just-raised startups, build a local acquisition list, run due diligence, and more. Whenever the user's request looks like lead-gen, competitor/brand monitoring, recruiting, due diligence, deal sourcing or market research, call this FIRST to check for a matching playbook before improvising your own searches. Returns each skill's id, name, category, what it does, and its inputs. Then call get_skill to run one. |
