# Email Drafting Pure reasoning skill for writing cold emails. No scripts, no tools — just frameworks, patterns, and examples from real campaigns that consistently generate replies. ## When to Use Use this skill when: - User says "write a cold email", "draft outreach", "help me with email copy", "write a sequence" - Any task requires cold email copy — subject lines, full sequences, or individual emails ## Phase 0: Intake Collect campaign context before writing anything. Ask all questions at once, organized by category. Skip any the user has already answered. ### Campaign Context 1. What product/service are you selling? 2. What problem does it solve? Who feels this pain most acutely? 3. What's the campaign angle? (hiring signal, competitor displacement, pain-based, event-triggered, etc.) 4. Is there a specific signal or trigger? (job posting, G2 review, LinkedIn engagement, funding round, etc.) ### Audience 5. Who is the recipient? (title, seniority, department) 6. What keeps them up at night? (daily frustrations relevant to your product) 7. What objections will they have? (budget, switching cost, "we already have X", timing) ### Proof & Credibility 8. What social proof do you have?

Where does this skill come from?
From gooseworks-ai/goose-skills, a repository with 1,091 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.
