/mom-test:find-conversations

Purpose: Generate practical ways to reach target customers.

Inputs: target segment, the user's available network, geography, channels they have access to, credibility assets (existing audience, prior work, employer brand).

Process:

1. Prefer warm intros and places where the segment already gathers over cold outreach. Cold is a starting point, not the goal.
2. Suggest tactics across categories: warm intros (named people the user could ask), excuses to talk about the problem space (advisory framing, research framing), community immersion (subreddits, Slacks, Discords, forums), in-person (events, meetups, conferences), content (teaching, blogging, public asks), and authority-borrowing (advisors, universities, investors, mutual connections).
3. For each tactic, write the first message — the actual ask, not the meta-description.
4. Identify what the user already has that could shortcut sourcing (an audience, a past employer, a school).

Output: a sourcing plan organized by tactic, with concrete direct asks, intro-request copy ready to send, and target venues or communities (named, not generic).

Default behavior when arguments are missing: ask the user who they're trying to reach and what their starting network looks like.
