# Outreach Message Skill Cold outreach fails when it's long, generic, and all about the sender. The ones that get replies are short, specific to the recipient, and ask for one easy thing. This skill writes that — a message tuned to *who* you're contacting and *what* you want (a referral, a chat, a recruiter intro), with a hook that proves you didn't blast it to 200 people. ## Required Inputs Ask for these only if they aren't already provided: - **Who you're messaging** — name, role, and your relationship (cold, 2nd-degree, alum, met-once). - **The ask** — referral, intro, coffee chat / advice, recruiter follow-up, or reconnect. - **The context** — the role/company you're targeting, and a genuine, specific reason you're reaching out to *them*. - **Your background** — one or two lines of relevant credibility. - **Channel** — LinkedIn connection note (≤300 chars), LinkedIn DM, or email. ## Output Format ### Outreach: [ask] → [recipient] Produce the message(s) tuned to the channel: - **Subject line** (for email) — specific and human, not "Quick question" or "Networking." - **The message** — short (LinkedIn DM ≈4–6 sentences; connection note ≤300 chars): - **Hook** — the specific, genui

Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
