# 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 when

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 when

Coverage gaps are your actual problem, and you want cost-per-hit ordering, fallbacks and identity validation as a written procedure.

## Side by side

| | vibe-prospecting | gtm-eng-skills |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Skills | 1 | 16 |
| Data model | One provider (Explorium) | Waterfall across 28+ providers via Deepline |
| In Anthropic’s official marketplace | Yes — confirmed in its marketplace.json | No |
| Capability | Read-only lookup and enrichment | Action-taking — writes audiences, runs plays |
| Prerequisite | A vibeprospecting.ai account | The Deepline CLI and its provider credentials |
| Setup | One plugin install | Skills install in one command, then the CLI |
| Who it is for | A founder or AE | A GTM engineer |

## 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.

## 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.
