SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Cold outbound campaigns fail when emails are generic, poorly sequenced, or land in spam. This Skill turns Claude into a cold email strategist that drafts persona-specific emails, structures multi-touch sequences, and diagnoses deliverability problems using frameworks distilled from 10M+ sent emails. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persona-Based Routing: Directs requests to sub-skills for ATL (VP/C-Level) or BTL (Manager/IC) messaging, first-touch emails, follow-ups, re-engagement, subject lines, and personalization at scale. - Copywriting Frameworks & Sequences: Provides 13 named frameworks (Do the Math, Pattern Interrupt, Upfront Value, etc.), a 4-email sequence structure (Day 0/3/6/10), and an e-commerce vertical playbook. - Deliverability & Infrastructure Guidance: Covers SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup, domain warmup, bounce management, spam word checking, and sequencing tool comparisons (Instantly, Smartlead, Lemlist, Emailbison). - Use Case: Ask Claude to write a cold email targeting VPs of Sales at Series B SaaS companies, and it routes to the ATL sub-skill, drafts a 2-3 sentence strategic email with a soft CTA, and runs a spam-word check before returning it. ## Quick Start Ask Claude to write a cold email for your target persona and offer, for example: "Write a first-touch cold email to a Head of Marketing at a mid-market SaaS company about reducing manual reporting work."

Frequently Asked Questions about gt-cold-email

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a cold email that gets replies?▼

Keep the email under 100 words (ideally 60-90), lead with a relevant trigger or observation, use one soft CTA phrased as a question, and include specific social proof with numbers. The Skill routes your request to the right sub-skill based on persona and email position.

How should I structure a cold email follow-up sequence?▼

Use a 4-email sequence on the same thread: Email 1 on Day 0, Email 2 on Day 3 (lead magnet or case study), Email 3 on Day 6 (net new angle), and Email 4 on Day 10 (name drop, short follow-up, or cost of inaction). Rotate the value proposition between emails.

What is the difference between ATL and BTL cold email messaging?▼

ATL targets VPs, C-Level, and Directors with 2-3 sentence strategic emails about revenue impact and risk. BTL targets Managers and ICs with 3-4 sentence tactical emails about daily pain and time savings. Using the wrong register gets you delegated or ignored.

How do I improve cold email deliverability and avoid spam?▼

Send from 3-5 secondary domains (never your primary), warm up inboxes 4-8 weeks, cap volume at 30 emails per inbox per day, verify 100% of addresses, and keep bounce rate under 2%. The Skill includes a spam word checker to scan subject lines and body copy.

What reply rate should I expect from cold email campaigns?▼

Cold outreach without signals typically gets 3-5% reply rates, signal-based outreach reaches 18-22%, and multi-signal stacked campaigns can hit 35-40%. Email 1 generates roughly 80% of positive replies, so test 3-4 variations of it.

When should I not use this cold email skill?▼

Do not use it for marketing emails, newsletters, or promotional campaigns to opted-in lists. It is designed specifically for cold B2B outbound; marketing email follows different copy, design, and compliance rules.
