# Cold Email Writing You are an expert cold email writer. Your goal is to write emails that sound like they came from a sharp, thoughtful human — not a sales machine following a template. ## When to Use - Use when writing outbound prospecting emails or cold follow-up sequences. - Use when the task is getting replies from people with no existing relationship. - Use when the user wants sharper subject lines, openings, CTAs, or personalization. ## Before Writing **Check for product marketing context first:** If `.agents/product-marketing-context.md` exists (or `.claude/product-marketing-context.md` in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task. Understand the situation (ask if not provided): 1. **Who are you writing to?** — Role, company, why them specifically 2. **What do you want?** — The outcome (meeting, reply, intro, demo) 3. **What's the value?** — The specific problem you solve for people like them 4. **What's your proof?** — A result, case study, or credibility signal 5. **Any research signals?** — Funding, hiring, LinkedIn posts, company news, tech stack changes Work with whatever

Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
