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.

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.
