cold-email_skill

Overview

This skill generates short, high-reply cold emails using proven copywriting frameworks (AIDA, PAS, BAB). It enforces strict best practices like 50–125 word limits, personalized openers, a single clear CTA, and mobile-friendly formatting. The output includes subject, email body, sender first name, and meta notes about framework, personalization, and word count.

How this skill works

It parses inputs for Target (role, company, industry), Goal (meeting, intro, feedback, sale), and Context (mutual connection, recent news, pain point). If required inputs are missing, it asks follow-up questions. The skill selects the most suitable framework, crafts a 50–125 word email with a 3–5 word lowercase subject, and returns schema-compliant metadata.
