Specter

What This Skill Does

The Specter skill for OpenClaw integrates the powerful specter-cli directly into your AI agent workflow. It provides an interface to the Specter intelligence platform, enabling you to programmatically enrich company and professional data, manage curated lists, and track intelligence signals. Whether you are conducting market research, performing competitive analysis, or building target outreach lists, Specter acts as your bridge to real-time company and professional insights.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your agent, ensure you have Node.js installed on your system. Run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/froemic/specter

After installation, you must configure your API credentials. Obtain your key from the Specter API Console and set it as an environment variable named SPECTER_API_KEY. For persistent usage with OpenClaw, it is recommended to add this to your configuration file (e.g., ~/.claude/.env).

Use Cases

• Market Intelligence: Quickly identify competitors by using the company similarity search feature to expand your research scope.
• Sales Prospecting: Enrich professional profiles via LinkedIn URLs to extract contact information or verify employment history.
• Lead Management: Automate the organization of prospective clients by creating and populating lists directly through the CLI.
• Due Diligence: Conduct background lookups on companies by domain or website to verify entity status and team composition.

Example Prompts

1. "Specter, find similar companies to the startup with domain 'openai.com' and create a new company list named 'AI Competitors'."
2. "Use the Specter tool to enrich the professional at this LinkedIn URL: [URL] and save their details."
3. "Can you search for companies related to 'sustainable energy' and add the top 5 results to my 'GreenTech' list?"

Tips & Limitations

• Rate Limiting: Be mindful of API usage limits associated with your Specter plan when automating high-volume enrichments.
• Data Accuracy: Always verify enriched data against primary sources when using it for critical business decisions.
• Error Handling: Ensure that your SPECTER_API_KEY has the necessary permissions for the specific endpoints you are targeting. If a lookup fails, check that the domain or identifier is formatted correctly as per the CLI specifications.
