What it does

Email Subject Line Optimizer is an agent skill from aiskilloftheweek/claude-ai-skill-of-the-week. Analyzes a subject line against proven best practices and generates 5 optimized alternative versions. Use this skill whenever the user wants to improve, test, or rewrite an email subject line. Trigger on phrases like "improve this subject line", "optimize the subject", "write a better subject line", "suggest subject line alternatives", "this subject line isn't converting", "help me with the subject line", "rewrites for the subject", or when the user pastes an email and asks specifically about the subject line…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k 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 Writing & Content, covering Copywriting. The repository describes itself as: Curating the greatest Claude Skills that actually change how you work.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to improve
  • Rewrite an email subject line
  • Phrases like improve this subject line
  • Optimize the subject

Example prompts

  • “improve this subject line”
  • “optimize the subject”
  • “write a better subject line”
  • “/email-subject-line-optimizer”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Silent analysis
  2. Output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f3b155c. 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

Email Subject Line Optimizer loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 192 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,046 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~192
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,046 words (~2,065 tokens).

“You receive an email subject line (and optionally the email body for context) as input.”
