Scan a list of target companies, or companies matching an ideal customer profile, for nine public buying signals (relevant job postings, hiring volume, new leadership, website relaunch, outdated tech, funding or new locations, ad activity, trade fairs, reviews). The agent judges each signal for this seller, scores it with a 3-week fade, and writes a ranked CSV with a dated reason and a suggested opener per company. Use for B2B prospecting, account-based outreach, or deciding who to contact…

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

# Buying Signal Scan

Find which target companies just did something that makes now a good time to reach out, and say why in one dated line.

Example request: "Here are 40 German Mittelstand companies. We are a digital agency for e-commerce. Who should we contact this week, and what do we say?"

## What runs with no keys at all

Everything in the core scan:

- Job postings and posting counts in Germany: Bundesagentur fuer Arbeit Jobsuche API (`scripts/jobsuche.py`).
- Job postings in any country, when the company uses Personio, Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby (`scripts/career_jobs.py`).
- News for leadership changes, funding, acquisitions, new locations and relaunches: Google News RSS (`scripts/news_rss.py`).
- Website tech check: CMS, shop system, outdated signs, and relaunch detection between runs (`scripts/tech_check.py`).
- Scoring with decay, CSV and summary (`scripts/score.py`), and weight tuning from outcomes (`scripts/feedback.py`).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ekos-labs/skills/buying-signal-scan@sha256:c0638d70feecc720

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
