local-client-prospector-skill

Local Client Prospector is a skill for OpenAI's Codex AI agent that helps freelance web designers and developers find potential clients: local businesses that have no website or only a social media presence.

You tell it a location and type of business ("find gyms and shops within 20 km of [city]") and it uses Codex's browser capabilities to research nearby businesses, check whether each one has a real standalone website or relies only on Facebook, Instagram, or similar social profiles, and score each opportunity as Hot, Warm, Low, or Skip. The output includes the business name, phone number, website or social link, the source it was found in, and notes.

Results can be returned as a chat table or in CSV-style rows, and it works with a companion Codex spreadsheets skill to export directly to an Excel file.

Installation is a single npm command that drops the skill file into the Codex skills directory. The README notes this is intended as guided research rather than bulk scraping.
