About this skill
Research a person''s public track record and give a short credibility assessment. Use only when the user explicitly invokes /who-is-this.
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by davidondrej/skills in skills/research-and-web/who-is-this/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Read the deepapi skill first. All search and scraping goes through DeepAPI. Never use built-in search, fetch, or a browser.
Seed
Accept a name, handle, URL, or profile screenshot. If missing, ask once; never guess a person.
Verify matching bio, company, location, and photo before deeper research. If identity is ambiguous, stop and ask.
Research
Find their X, LinkedIn, and GitHub first (dedicated endpoints, not site: search). Then run these in parallel:
- GitHub activity.
POST /v1/scrape/github/profilewithincludeRepos: true, plus recent PRs (POST /v1/scrape/github/search,type: "pulls",query: "author:<username>",sort: "updated"). - Last 10 LinkedIn posts.
POST /v1/scrape/linkedin/posts,maxItems: 10. Also scrape the LinkedIn profile if you have the slug. - Deep research.
POST /v1/research/deepon who they are, what they have actually done, and whether the public story holds. - 50 newest X posts.
POST /v1/scrape/twitter/searchwith the handle,sort: "latest",maxItems: 50. Also pullPOST /v1/scrape/twitter/user.
Follow DeepAPI polling. If a platform is missing or private, say so. Do not invent a profile.
What to extract
Keep only the 3 facts that best explain who the person is; omit the rest.
- Real track record beats bio. Jobs, products, exits, code, talks.
- Self-reported numbers stay labeled "their claim". Verified numbers say "verified".
- Include posting topics only if they change the verdict.
- Choose the archetype their track record supports: builder, marketer, operator, researcher, grifter, investor, recruiter, hobbyist, etc.
Ignore congrats, logo spam, paid "king of X" press, and follower-count flexing.
Output
Maximum 100 words after the header. Use short, plain-English sentences. No tables, sub-bullets, tweet dumps, or research narration.
**Full name** — [@handle](https://x.com/handle) · [LinkedIn](url) · [GitHub](url) · [Site](url)
**Who:** One sentence. Where they are and what they do now.
**Track record:** Max 3 bullets. Only what explains who they are. Dates. Label claims vs verified.
**Verdict:** One line. The archetype, whether the story holds, and why.
Fictional example:
**Jane Doe** — [@janedoe](https://x.com/janedoe) · [LinkedIn](https://linkedin.com/in/janedoe) · [GitHub](https://github.com/janedoe)
**Who:** Berlin solo founder of Acme, an open-source Postgres proxy.
**Track record:**
- 2024–now: Acme founder. 2.1K stars (verified); no revenue (her claim).
- 2019–2024: Backend engineer at Zalando and N26.
- Claims "50K users"; unverified.
**Verdict:** Solo builder with real code; user numbers remain unverified.
Omit a missing profile link instead of faking it.
Follow-ups: 1–3 sentences. Re-scrape only if the first pass missed that platform.
