SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? New cold email operators face dozens of skills with no clear starting point, and often build lists and copy before realizing they lack warmed sending infrastructure. This Skill provides a single entry point that asks infrastructure-status questions first, then runs the onboarding sequence in the correct order. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Infrastructure-First Triage: Asks about domains, warmed inboxes, and API keys (Smartlead, Prospeo, MillionVerifier) before any business work, preventing the common failure of building campaigns you cannot send. - Orchestrated Onboarding Sequence: Invokes /icp-onboarding, /lead-magnet-brainstorm, and /campaign-strategy in order, producing a client profile, lead magnet, and 15-25 campaign ideas. - Consolidated Campaign Plan: Synthesizes all artifacts into a single campaign-plan.md with ICP, offer, top 3 campaigns, infrastructure readiness checklist, and branched next steps. - Use Case: A new operator onboards a B2B SaaS client from zero; the Skill interviews for the ICP, picks a free audit as the lead magnet, generates campaign ideas, then routes them to /prospeo-full-export because their inboxes are already warmed. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run the cold email kickoff skill to onboard a new business and generate a complete campaign plan from scratch.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start a cold email campaign from scratch?

Run the kickoff orchestrator, which first asks about your sending infrastructure, then builds your ICP profile, selects a lead magnet, and generates 15-25 campaign ideas. It ends with a consolidated campaign-plan.md and a menu of next skills based on your infrastructure readiness.

What order should cold email onboarding steps run in?

Infrastructure status questions come first, then ICP onboarding, then lead magnet selection, then campaign strategy generation. This order prevents building lists and copy before confirming you have warmed inboxes capable of sending.

Why do cold email inboxes need two weeks of warmup?

New sending inboxes lack sender reputation, so sending immediately triggers spam filters and damages deliverability. The Skill enforces a loud 2-week warmup warning and blocks launch recommendations until inboxes tagged as warmed are confirmed.

Which list-building method fits my cold email ICP?

The Skill branches on ICP type: title-first search for VP/Director roles, lookalike discovery for seed domains, Google Maps scraping for local SMBs, domain-first for named-account ABM, or LinkedIn engagement for competitor audiences. It recommends one based on your profile.

Can I reuse an existing client profile instead of re-onboarding?

Yes. If a client-profile.yaml already exists, the Skill asks whether to use it or start fresh rather than overwriting blindly. Returning users with warmed infrastructure can load the existing profile and skip directly to the next-step menu.
