Skill: Contact Discovery from Documents
Purpose
Find contact information (names, emails, roles) for specific responsibilities by searching and analyzing available documents, emails, and configuration files.
Core Workflow
- •Understand the Search Target: Clarify the role, responsibility, or system you need a contact for (e.g., "cluster management," "network administrator," "billing department").
- •Search Across Available Sources:
- •Emails: Use
emails-search_emailswith relevant keywords (role, system name, department). - •Filesystem: Use
filesystem-search_filesandfilesystem-list_directoryto locate documents (PDFs, text files, configs) in common workspace areas. - •PDFs: For PDF files, use
pdf-tools-read_pdf_pagesto extract and analyze text, especially looking for structured sections like contact tables or responsibility matrices. - •Config Files: Read relevant configuration files (YAML, JSON, text) that may contain admin or contact metadata.
- •Emails: Use
- •Analyze and Extract: Parse the found content. Look for:
- •Name-Email-Role patterns (e.g., "Stephen Mitchell - stephen_mitchell@mcp.com - Kubernetes cluster").
- •Section headers like "Contact", "Support Team", "Responsibilities".
- •Keywords adjacent to email addresses.
- •Verify and Use: Confirm the extracted contact is the most relevant match for the requested responsibility before using it (e.g., sending an email).
Key Techniques from Trajectory
- •Role-Based Keyword Search: Start with broad role searches ("cluster management", "cluster admin", "infrastructure", "kubernetes").
- •Document Discovery: If emails are empty, explore the filesystem (
/workspace/dumps/workspace) for organizational documents (guidelines, configs). - •PDF Table Parsing: The skill successfully parsed a multi-page PDF (
CS Lab Management Guidelines.pdf), identified a "Lab Support Team" table on page 3, and extracted the specific contact ("Stephen Mitchell") matching the "Cluster & Computing Resources" responsibility. - •Fallback Patterns: When direct email searches fail, proceed to document search and analysis.
Output
The primary output is a verified contact (name and email address) for the requested responsibility, ready to be used in subsequent actions (e.g., composing and sending a notification email).
