For a list of companies, finds dated, linked timing signals from the last 90 days (funding, new leaders, hiring, launches), drops stale ones and noise, scores timing, and gives one personal hook per person from their recent public work. Facts only, no message copy. Use alone when you already have the company list and, for hooks, the people; otherwise run research-audience.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# signals-and-hooks

**Reads:** account table; people (for hooks); `../research-audience/references/signals-and-hooks.md`; champions list if the human supplied one.

**Does:**
1. News first, per account: a web search for the company over the last 90 days (funding, new leader, launch, expansion, acquisition, layoffs, awards that matter to the buyer). Then the signals that matter for this motion (the reference table): careers page and job boards, company news and posts. Stop once one strong fresh signal is found unless a second is cheap. Anything from the last 14 days is a **timely opening** for the report.
2. Record each as fact · URL · publish date · retrieved date · why now. Re-check job posts are still live.
3. Drop anything past its window and anything on the noise list. Funding alone never makes an account tier A.
4. Score timing by judgment against the anchors (strength, recency, capped at 40), with the reason written in the row.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gooseworks-ai/goose-skills/research-audience-signals-and-hooks@sha256:65ef7ca219b9a4b5

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
