# Brand Partner Discovery Brief Skill

Use this skill to find and shortlist new partners to recruit based on category, geography, or similar signals. It generates a markdown discovery brief with a ranked prospect table, fit analysis, and three concrete next steps for your outreach planning. 

To analyze partners already active in your program, use the [Brand Partner Performance Scorecard](/ai-solutions/mcp-skills/brand-skills/brand-partner-performance-scorecard-skill.md) instead.

### Prerequisites

* MCP access enabled on your impact.com Brand account.
* Client connected per [MCP Quick Start](/ai-solutions/mcp-quick-start.md).

### Install the skill

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://integrations.impact.com/ai-solutions/mcp-skills/brand-skills/brand-partner-discovery-brief-skill.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
