SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates guesswork and low-response outreach by producing a single, tightly focused cold email or warm-intro request that is grounded in primary-company research, names a specific person, and includes one concrete artifact to generate replies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • One-Take grounding: Forces an opinionated observation tied to a grounded decision in applications/<app_id>/company.md to ensure specificity and credibility.
  • Strict format & voice audit: Produces 4-7 sentence drafts under 150 words, enforces profile/voice rules, and blocks banned phrasing or stylistic violations.
  • Artifact and ask selection: Chooses exactly one artifact link and a clear small ask (15-minute call or pointer) and writes the draft to applications/<app_id>/outreach/<person_slug>.md.
  • Use Case: Replace a generic cover letter when targeting a founder or engineer with a tailored, high-payoff outreach message that references a specific company decision.

Quick Start

Draft a 4-7 sentence outreach email to Jane Doe at ExampleCorp grounded in the pricing decision in applications/123/company.md, include one artifact link, and ask for a 15-minute call about scaling their API.

Frequently Asked Questions about outreach

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a cold email that references a specific company decision for job-search outreach?

Grounded cold emails tie an opinionated observation to a specific company decision, creating specificity and credibility that generic cover letters lack. This approach forces a single focused point referencing primary company research to generate higher response rates.

What is the best way to format a concise cold email to a startup founder?

Concise cold emails should be 4-7 sentences under 150 words, include exactly one artifact link, and present a clear small ask like a 15-minute call. Strict formatting eliminates filler and enforces profile voice rules to block banned phrasing.

Can I draft a warm-intro request using the same grounded approach as a cold email?

Warm-intro requests use the same grounded workflow as cold emails, applying primary-company research and a specific artifact link. Both workflows target a specific person and enforce voice audits to ensure the draft matches your established communication profile.

How do you perform a voice audit on drafted outreach emails?

A voice audit checks drafted outreach emails against profile voice rules, enforcing stylistic constraints and blocking banned phrasing. This ensures the 4-7 sentence draft matches your established communication style before saving to the application folder.

Do I need a company research file before drafting targeted outreach?

Targeted outreach requires a company research file containing documented decisions to ground the email's main observation. The One-Take grounding mechanism pulls directly from this company data to ensure the message reflects specific, credible business context.

What are the limitations of automated outreach email generation?

Automated outreach generation drafts the message but does not send it, requiring manual review and transmission. Additionally, it restricts artifact links to exactly one per email and enforces a strict 150-word limit, which may not suit complex outreach scenarios.
