What it does

Investor Outreach is an agent skill from affaan-m/ECC. Draft cold emails, warm intro blurbs, follow-ups, update emails, and investor communications for fundraising. Use when the user wants outreach to angels, VCs, strategic investors, or accelerators and needs concise, personalized, investor-facing messaging.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Fundraising and pitch decks and Cold outreach. The repository describes itself as: The agent harness performance optimization system. Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants outreach to angels
  • Strategic investors
  • Accelerators and needs concise
  • Investor-facing messaging

Example prompts

  • “/investor-outreach”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Personalize every outbound message.
  2. Keep the ask low-friction.
  3. Use proof instead of adjectives.
  4. Stay concise.
  5. Never send copy that could go to any investor.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d515e4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Investor Outreach loads about 664 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 360 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~664

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Investor Outreach

Write investor communication that is short, concrete, and easy to act on.

When to Activate

  • writing a cold email to an investor
  • drafting a warm intro request
  • sending follow-ups after a meeting or no response
  • writing investor updates during a process
  • tailoring outreach based on fund thesis or partner fit

Core Rules

  1. Personalize every outbound message.
  2. Keep the ask low-friction.
  3. Use proof instead of adjectives.
  4. Stay concise.
  5. Never send copy that could go to any investor.

Voice Handling

If the user's voice matters, run brand-voice first and reuse its VOICE PROFILE. This skill should keep the investor-specific structure and ask discipline, not recreate its own parallel voice system.

Hard Bans

Delete and rewrite any of these:

  • "I'd love to connect"
  • "excited to share"
  • generic thesis praise without a real tie-in
  • vague founder adjectives
  • begging language
  • soft closing questions when a direct ask is clearer

Cold Email Structure

  1. subject line: short and specific
  2. opener: why this investor specifically
  3. pitch: what the company does, why now, and what proof matters
  4. ask: one concrete next step
  5. sign-off: name, role, and one credibility anchor if needed
Show full SKILL.md (166 more words)Show less

Personalization Sources

Reference one or more of:

  • relevant portfolio companies
  • a public thesis, talk, post, or article
  • a mutual connection
  • a clear market or product fit with the investor's focus

If that context is missing, state that the draft still needs personalization instead of pretending it is finished.

Follow-Up Cadence

Default:

  • day 0: initial outbound
  • day 4 or 5: short follow-up with one new data point
  • day 10 to 12: final follow-up with a clean close

Do not keep nudging after that unless the user wants a longer sequence.

Warm Intro Requests

Make life easy for the connector:

  • explain why the intro is a fit
  • include a forwardable blurb
  • keep the forwardable blurb under 100 words

Post-Meeting Updates

Include:

  • the specific thing discussed
  • the answer or update promised
  • one new proof point if available
  • the next step

Quality Gate

Before delivering:

  • the message is genuinely personalized
  • the ask is explicit
  • the proof point is concrete
  • filler praise and softener language are gone
  • word count stays tight
