Quick Start

Connect CreatiVault creator search, collection, lookalike discovery, and outreach workflows to Lobster or your AI agent.

💡
Before you start, prepare a CreatiVault account, an API Key created from the Skills page, and Lobster or another AI agent that can run Skills (Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, Kiro, GitHub Copilot, etc.).

Start from your goal

You do not need to fill in API parameters. Describe the goal to Lobster, and it will choose the right search, collection, export, lookalike, or outreach workflow.

ScenarioWhat you want to achieveSuggested prompt

Step 1: Ask Lobster to install the skill

Send the sentence below to Lobster. It will install the production creator collection skill from the official CreatiVault skills repository. If your environment cannot install it automatically, ask your workspace admin for help.

Copy to Lobster
Please use npx skills add creativault/skills to install the CreatiVault creator collection skill

Step 2: Configure account access

Think of the API Key as an access key. It tells CreatiVault who is calling the service, which capabilities are available, and which account's credits are used. The email identifies the operator for task tracking and troubleshooting.

💡
If you do not know what an API Key is: log in to CreatiVault, open the Skills page, create a key, and copy it. Do not post it in public groups. Send it privately to Lobster or ask your workspace admin to configure it.

Step 3: Start Using

Collect data for these YouTube channels: @channel1, @channel2

Export the search results to Excel

Choose the right data level

Start with S1/S2 to narrow the candidate pool, then use S3 when you need deeper audience profiling.

First launch checklist

  • •Lobster has installed the skill and can recognize the creator-scraper-cv capability.
  • •The API Key and operator email are configured, and the key has credits and permissions.
  • •Run a small 5 to 10 creator search first to confirm the workflow returns results.
  • •Export to Excel/CSV when the result needs to be shared with your team or clients.

Alternative: manual installation

Use the source-code installation below only when Lobster cannot install Skills directly. In most cases, you do not need this step.

Terminal
git clone https://github.com/creativault/skills.git
cp -r skills/skills/creator-scraper-cv your-agent/skills/
