What the Sourcing Agent does

Instinct is built for standing work like this - set it once, then it runs on your word. Hand it an approved role and a sourcing target. You get back a review queue of candidate LinkedIn URLs, each with job-relevant evidence and a source trace, saved as a Google Sheet in your own Drive.

Sourcing means opening tabs, running the same LinkedIn searches, copying profile URLs into a sheet and trying to remember why each person looked right. Two hours later you have nine rows, no evidence column, and a hiring manager asking where the shortlist is.

Where the three files go in Instinct

Hand the three files (skill.md, setup-prompt.txt, usage-prompt.txt) to Instinct in chat. It keeps the context across sessions, so the setup survives: run the setup prompt once, approve the fictional-data test, and the agent becomes a standing workflow you trigger with one line. This is the closest fit to how the agents are designed to run.

What a run looks like on Instinct

A run looks like this: you tell Instinct to run candidate-sourcing with this run's inputs, and it works through the saved skill. The output - hand it an approved role and a sourcing target - is prepared for your review, and Instinct asks before anything is sent, spent or committed.

Setup, step by step

  1. Hand skill.md, setup-prompt.txt and usage-prompt.txt to Instinct in chat and ask it to keep them for the job (for example: candidate sourcing).
  2. Run the setup prompt once; the agent runs candidate-sourcing on fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work.
  3. Instinct keeps the context across sessions, so the setup survives as a standing workflow.
  4. Trigger each real run with one line and this run's inputs; Instinct asks before it sends, spends or commits - the same gates the agent is designed around.

Honest limits on Instinct

Instinct is in early access and its capabilities are expanding; always approve the sample-data test before pointing the agent at real work.
