Use when the user wants to verify cold emails, enrich a lead list, or autonomously guess email addresses from a CSV using ValidEmail.co or the open-source Reacher engine.

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

# Cold Email Verifier and Guesser (Public)

## Overview
This skill autonomously processes a CSV of leads (containing First Name, Last Name, and Company Name), discovers their corporate domain, generates professional email permutations, and strictly verifies their deliverability. 

It is designed to solve the problem of missing contact info by guessing core email angles and then checking which one is real.

## The Email Guessing Engine
You don't need to provide emails in your CSV! If the CSV only contains First Name, Last Name, and Company Name, the script will automatically:
1. Look up the company's official domain using the free Clearbit API.
2. Clean the names (removing punctuation) and generate the 3 most common corporate email formats:
   - first@domain.com
   - first.last@domain.com
   - firstlast@domain.com

## Verification Methods (Choose Your Engine)
Once the emails are guessed, the script must verify them. We support three methods:

### 1. ValidEmail.co API (Highly Recommended)
**The absolute best option.** ValidEmail.co provides enterprise-grade accuracy, bypasses strict catch-all servers, and handles IP reputation for you.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add varnan-tech/opendirectory/cold-email-verifier@sha256:73c882c9885576b7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260418.3202b3d, 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.
