vibe-prospecting vs gtm-eng-skills
Pick vibe-prospecting when you want an answer, not an architecture: one skill over Explorium’s own data — 150M companies, 800M professionals, plus tech stack, hiring and funding signals — and it is listed in Anthropic’s official plugin marketplace. Pick gtm-eng-skills when you already know no single provider covers more than 60–75% of B2B contacts and you want the chaining written down: 16 skills for waterfall email finding across providers ordered by cost-per-hit, TAM building, LinkedIn URL resolution with identity validation, and won-versus-lost signal analysis. Both need a paid account; the difference is whether you are buying one vendor’s coverage or orchestrating a dozen.
Pick vibe-prospecting
You want a lead list or an enriched CSV from a natural-language request, and one vendor’s coverage is good enough.
Pick gtm-eng-skills
Coverage gaps are your actual problem, and you want cost-per-hit ordering, fallbacks and identity validation as a written procedure.

Verdict
The bottom line
Start with vibe-prospecting. It is one install, it is in Anthropic’s own marketplace, and for most lead lists a single good provider is enough. Move to gtm-eng-skills when you can measure the miss — when a batch comes back 30% unresolved and the cost of the next provider matters. That is the point at which waterfall ordering stops being over-engineering and starts being the job, and it is the reason these two are in the catalog as separate entries rather than one.
FAQ
Common questions
Can I use either without paying a data vendor?
No, and neither entry pretends otherwise. Both skills are the interface; the data is the product being sold. Installed without an account they read as documentation rather than run as workflows, which is stated in both entries’ not-ideal-for.
Is a waterfall actually worth the complexity?
It depends on your volume. The gtm-eng-skills material puts single-provider coverage at 60–75% of B2B contacts and chained coverage at 85–92%. On a list of fifty that difference is a few rows you can find by hand; on a list of five thousand it is the difference between a usable campaign and a broken one.
Which one writes to ad platforms or a CRM?
gtm-eng-skills. It is classified action-taking and includes uploading audiences to Google Customer Match, Meta and LinkedIn. vibe-prospecting is read-only — it finds and enriches, and hands you the result.

- liteparse vs docling
liteparse pulls a specific value out of a document cheaply and locally; docling converts whole documents — including scanned ones — into structured Markdown or JSON. Both MIT, both local: the split is lookup versus conversion.
