academic-cold-email

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the manual, error-prone work of researching Japanese university professors and drafting appropriate, source-accurate cold emails for graduate admission inquiries, while providing structured archiving for multi-target outreach.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Deep web intelligence: Automatically traverse professor homepages and subpages (publications, research, members, contact, prospective student pages) and extract emails, recent papers, projects, and contact rules with source URLs.
• Topic matching: Generate one concrete, feasible research direction that aligns the professor's recent work with the applicant's documented strengths.
• Bilingual email drafting: Produce natural English and formal Chinese cold-email drafts that reference specific papers and respect any professorial contact requirements.
• Notion archiving: Create a Notion page (via MCP) containing the collected intelligence, status tracking, and both email drafts for ongoing outreach management.
• Safety & traceability: Enforce zero-fabrication, red-line checks for contact rules, and source attribution for every factual claim.
