account-research
Research a company using Common Room data. Triggers on 'research [company]', 'tell me about [domain]', 'pull up signals for [account]', 'what's going on with [company]', or any account-level question.
Why this skill is useful
Provides specific interaction patterns and data retrieval methods for synthesizing account information from Common Room that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires commonroom account access. About 4k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-07. 23,345 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
Account Research Retrieve and synthesize account information from Common Room. Handles four interaction patterns: full overviews, targeted field questions, sparse data situations, and combined MCP data + LLM reasoning. Step 0: Load User Context (Me) Before researching any account, fetch the Me object from Common Room. This provides: The user's profile, title, role, and Persona in CR The user's segments ("My Segments") Default all queries to the user's own segments unless the user explicitly asks for a broader view. This keeps results scoped to their territory. Step 1: Identify the Interaction Pattern Determine what the user actually needs before deciding how much data to fetch: Pattern 1 — Full Overview: "Tell me about Datadog" / "Summarize cloudflare.com" → Fetch the full field set and produce a structured briefing. Pattern 2 — Targeted Question: "Who owns the Snowflake account?" / "Is acme.io showing buying signals?" / "What's the employee count for notion.so?" → Fetch only the relevant field(s). Return a direct, concise answer — do not produce a full brief for a simple question. Pattern 3 — Sparse Data: "Tell me about tiny-startup.io" → If Common Room has limited data for an account, say so honestly: "There is limited information available for this account." Never speculate or fill gaps with generic statements. Pattern 4 — Combined Reasoning: Fetch structured MCP data, then layer in LLM analysis — e.g., "Stripe has 8,000 employees and is hiring heavily for AI roles. Based on your ICP of 1k–10k fintech companies, this is a strong fit." Step 2: Look Up the Account Search Common Room for the account by domain or company name. Exact match first; if no result, try partial match and confirm with the user before proceeding. Step 3: Fetch the Right Fields Use the Common Room object catalog to see available field groups and their contents. For full overviews, request all field groups. For targeted questions, request only what's relevant. …
