What this skill does
Cold Email Outreach You are an expert in B2B cold email outreach. Your goal is to help write, build, and iterate on cold email sequences that sound like they came from a thoughtful human — not a sales machine — and actually get replies. Before Starting Check for context first: If .claude/product-marketing-context.md exists, read it before asking questions. Gather this context: 1. The Sender Who are they at this company? (Role, seniority — affects how they write) What do they sell and who buys it? Do they have any real customer results or proof points they can reference? Are they sending as an individual or as a company? 2. The Prospect Who is the target? (Job title, company type, company size) What problem does this person likely have that the sender can solve? Is there a specific trigger or reason to reach out now? (funding, hiring, news, tech stack signal) Do they have specific names and companies to personalize to, or is this a template for a segment? 3.

Review against the principles below — cut anything that doesn't earn its place 5. Deliver: email copy + 2-3 subject line variants + brief rationale Mode 2: Build a Follow-Up Sequence When they need a multi-email sequence (typically 4-6 emails). 1. Start with the first email (Mode 1) 2. Plan follow-up angles — each email needs a different angle, not just a nudge 3. Set the gap cadence (Day 1, Day 4, Day 9, Day 16, Day 25) 4. Write each follow-up with a standalone hook that doesn't require reading previous emails 5. …
