README

Schmoozing

**Turn a pile of business cards into a researched pipeline.**

You have just got back from an event with a pocket full of cards. Now comes the tedious bit: typing them in, finding the right company, filling in the gaps, and deciding who is actually worth pursuing.

Schmoozing does it in one pass.

Photograph the cards. We will turn them into pipeline.

It reads the details, checks them against independent sources, researches the person and the business, and adds a clean, useful record to your CRM, with a verdict and a next action where it can.

So instead of a stack of cards waiting to be processed, you have a pipeline ready to work.

/plugin marketplace add catrinmdonnelly/schmoozing
/plugin install schmoozing@schmoozing

Or drop it in as a plain skill:

git clone https://github.com/catrinmdonnelly/schmoozing ~/.claude/skills/schmoozing

Then photograph a card and say **"scan this card"**.

Needs Python 3, which every Mac has. `gspread` and `google-auth` only if you send them to a Google Sheet.

It checks the card against reality. Phone against the company's own website, email domain against DNS, name spelling against the companies register, job title against their profile. A card is a printed claim, often years old.
It researches the business. What they sell and how an order actually reaches them, evidence of size and ownership, recent news, the person's LinkedIn.
It gives a verdict. Against your definit
