What it does

Email Sequence is an agent skill from AgriciDaniel/claude-email. Designs complete email automation sequences with timing, subject lines, copy, and conditional logic. Supports welcome series, nurture campaigns, re-engagement, abandoned cart, post-purchase, review requests, and custom sequences. Adapts sequence type, cadence, frameworks, and conditional branching to business context. Use when user wants to create an automated email series triggered by subscriber actions or time intervals.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k 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 Marketing & SEO, covering Email marketing and Email management. The repository describes itself as: AI-powered email management and marketing skill for Claude Code. Inbox triage, composition, quality review, deliverability audit, automation sequences, and marketing strategy. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User wants to create an automated email series triggered by subscriber actions

  • Tasks that involve Email management

Example prompts

  • “Use the email-sequence skill to design complete email automation sequences with timing, subject lines, copy, and conditional logic”
  • “/email-sequence”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

12 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Load Context
  2. Gather Sequence Requirements
  3. Design Sequence Architecture
  4. Generate Each Email
  5. Add Implementation Guidance
  6. Welcome Series (4-6 emails, 14 days)
  7. Nurture Sequence (6-10 emails, 6-10 weeks)
  8. Re-engagement / Win-Back (3-5 emails, 28 days)
  9. Abandoned Cart (3 emails, 3 days)
  10. Post-Purchase (4-6 emails, 30 days)
  11. Review Request (1-2 emails)
  12. Custom Sequence

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 182270a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Grep
    • Glob

    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

Email Sequence loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,084 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.8k

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.

Execution Protocol

Step 1: Load Context

Read the business profile for context:

  • email-profile.md (project root)

Load reference files for frameworks and benchmarks:

  • references/copy-frameworks.md
  • references/benchmarks.md
Step 2: Gather Sequence Requirements

Ask the user:

  1. Sequence type: welcome, nurture, re-engagement, abandoned-cart, post-purchase, review-request, or custom
  2. If custom: goal, trigger event, desired email count, preferred cadence, tone

Confirm business context from profile:

  • Industry
  • Target audience
  • Brand voice
  • Primary offer/product
Step 3: Design Sequence Architecture

Based on sequence type, define:

  • Total number of emails
  • Timing between emails
  • Framework assignment per email
  • Conditional logic rules
  • KPI targets
Step 4: Generate Each Email

For each email in sequence, create:

  1. Position and timing: Email X, Day Y or Hours after trigger
  2. Subject lines: 3 variants with scores (60-100)
  3. Preheader text: 30-80 characters
  4. Email body: Full copy following assigned framework
  5. CTA: Button text and link placeholder
  6. Conditional logic: What happens based on engagement
Step 5: Add Implementation Guidance

Include:

  • Platform setup notes
  • A/B test recommendations
  • KPI benchmarks for this sequence type
  • Segment considerations

  4. Cadence: How often should emails send?
  5. Tone: Formal, casual, urgent, educational?

Design sequence architecture based on responses.

Conditional Logic Rules

Apply these rules to every sequence:

Engagement-Based Branching

If opened previous email but didn't click:

  • Emphasize CTA more strongly
  • Add social proof elements
  • Simplify the ask

If clicked previous email:

  • Move faster in sequence
  • Skip reminder emails
  • Advance to stronger offer

If no engagement on 2+ consecutive emails:

  • Slow down cadence
  • Change subject line approach
  • Test different framework

If unsubscribed:

  • Stop sequence immediately
  • Remove from all active lists
Time-Based Branching

If cart value is high (e.g., over $200):

  • Extend abandoned cart sequence
  • Add personal outreach email

If first purchase:

  • Trigger post-purchase sequence
  • Add to VIP nurture track

If repeat customer:

  • Skip welcome emails
  • Go straight to loyalty sequence

Quality Checklist

Before delivering sequence, verify:

  • Each email has 3 subject line variants
  • Preheaders are 30-80 characters
  • Each email follows assigned framework structure
  • CTAs are clear and actionable
  • Conditional logic is defined for each email
  • Timing makes sense for business type
  • KPI targets are realistic
  • A/B test recommendations are specific
  • Implementation notes include platform setup

Framework Quick Reference

Load ../../references/copy-frameworks.md for detailed structures:

  • PAS: Problem -> Agitate -> Solution
  • AIDA: Attention -> Interest -> Desire -> Action
  • BAB: Before -> After -> Bridge
  • FAB: Features -> Advantages -> Benefits
  • 4Ps: Picture -> Promise -> Prove -> Push
  • Direct: Straightforward, no persuasion layer (transactional emails)

Notes

  • Always adapt sequence length and cadence to business context
  • B2B sequences should be longer (nurture over 8-12 weeks)
  • E-commerce can be more aggressive (faster cadence)
  • Service businesses benefit from educational content
  • Always include easy unsubscribe option
  • Test sequences with small segment before full deployment
  • Monitor sender reputation metrics (bounce rate, complaint rate)
  • Apple Mail Privacy Protection makes open tracking unreliable - focus on clicks
  • Use sunset policies: remove non-engaged subscribers after 6-12 months

Integration with Other Skills

  • Use /email audit to verify domain deliverability before launching sequences
  • Use /email write for individual email drafts or rewrites
  • Use /email review to score and optimize each email in the sequence
  • Use /email plan to align sequences with overall marketing strategy
