Any agent can also call get_skill(skill_id="creator-contact-extractor") to pull these steps on demand.
What it does
Most niche creators hide a real email or link in their IG bio. This sweeps the niche for active accounts, then reads each profile to harvest the public_email and external_url that outreach teams actually need to make contact.
