diffbot-people
Search people in the Diffbot Knowledge Graph by job title, employer, employer industry, skills, education, location, or nationality. Covers people with a public online professional presence only — not a people-finder for private individuals. MUST USE skill when the answer is a list of people: executives at a company, alumni of a school, who holds a role, or who has a skill. Rows are people, not companies. Triggers on: find people, who works at, executives at, employees of, CEO of, CTO of, leadership team, alumni of, people who studied, people with skill, board members, who founded.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "diffbot/diffbot-skills:skills/diffbot-people" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/diffbot/diffbot-skills /tmp/diffbot-skills && ln -s /tmp/diffbot-skills/skills/diffbot-people ~/.claude/skills/diffbot-peopleFrom README
Diffbot People Search Find people in the Diffbot Knowledge Graph. This is type:Person DQL with the people-research levers pre-selected: employment history, employer industry, education, skills, and location. Coverage is limited to people with a public online presence — see the note at the end before reporting an empty or partial result. Row shape decides the skill. If the rows are people, this skill owns it — including "who runs Nvidia". If the rows are companies ("companies whose CEO is a woman"), use /diffbot-organizations. Sibling skills: /diffbot-news, /diffbot-places, /diffbot-deals. Use /diffbot-dql for anything outside these shapes. Workflow Step 1 — bootstrap Guard the venv creation as shown — re-running python3 -m venv on an existing venv overwrites activation scripts. init refreshes /.diffbot/ontology.json and verifies a token (DIFFBOTAPITOKEN env var, else /.diffbot/credentials). If neither exists the user must run: Tokens: https://app.diffbot.com/get-started/.
