Given a product utility and ICP, researches the internet to find the specific channels. Where your customer actually lives, ranked by reachability with a full per-channel playbook. Returns evidence that your ICP is there, one entry tactic, one content angle, and specific anti-patterns per channel. Use when asked where my customer hangs out, what communities should I post in, where is my ICP, find channels for outreach, what forums does my ICP use, where should I spend time for distribution, or…
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
# Where Your Customer Lives
Given a product utility and ICP, trace real ICP pain posts back to their source communities. Layer in competitor discussion signals. Discover Slack/Discord/newsletter/podcast/conference channels via DuckDuckGo. Score every channel by ICP signal count, size, activity, and competitor presence. Output a ranked playbook: evidence, entry tactic, content angle, anti-patterns -- one per channel. No guessing. Signal-traced channels only.
---
**Critical rule:** Every channel name in the output must exist in either the Reddit API response or DuckDuckGo search results from this run. Every member count must come from the `about.json` API or a search snippet -- never estimated. Every ICP signal count must match the raw data. If a channel type returns 0 results, report 0 -- do not fabricate channels.

## Common Mistakes
| The agent will want to... | Why that's wrong |
|---|---|
| Recommend generic channels ("LinkedIn", "Twitter") | Every channel must be specific with a name, member count, and URL. "LinkedIn Group: DevOps for Enterprise Teams (45K members)" -- not just "LinkedIn". |

How to install
mdr add varnan-tech/opendirectory/where-your-customer-lives@sha256:1866b69c7f229368The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.a03d635, 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.
