What it does

Winback Engine is an agent skill from cognyai/claude-code-marketing-skills. Find dormant subscribers, segment by historical value, draft personalized winback emails per tier, and identify suppression candidates

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k 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. The repository describes itself as: Marketing skills for Claude Code — SEO audits and implementation, ad analysis, ad optimization. Free skills need no account. $9/mo for live Search Console, Bing & LinkedIn data.

When your agent uses it

  • Marketing & SEO work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/winback-engine”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): mcp__cogny__klaviyo__*, mcp__cogny__mailchimp__*, mcp__cogny__rule__*, mcp__cogny__get_a_newsletter__*, mcp__cogny__create_finding, mcp__cogny__write_context_node, mcp__klaviyo__*, mcp__mailchimp__*, mcp__rule__*, mcp__get_a_newsletter__*, Bash, Read, Write

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define dormancy thresholds
  2. Pull subscriber data
  3. Segment into tiers
  4. Draft a 3-email winback series per tier
  5. Suppression list (Tier D)
  6. Write-mode: offer to execute
  7. Create findings

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a062fb4. 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:

    • mcp__cogny__klaviyo__*
    • mcp__cogny__mailchimp__*
    • mcp__cogny__rule__*
    • mcp__cogny__get_a_newsletter__*
    • mcp__cogny__create_finding
    • mcp__cogny__write_context_node
    • mcp__klaviyo__*
    • mcp__mailchimp__*
    • mcp__rule__*
    • mcp__get_a_newsletter__*

    …and 3 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • cogny.com

    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

Winback Engine loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 874 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: mcp__cogny__klaviyo__*, mcp__cogny__mailchimp__*, mcp__cogny__rule__*, mcp__cogny__get_a_newsletter_

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 874 words (~2,352 tokens).

“Turn dormant subscribers back into customers. This skill scans your connected ESP for inactive subscribers, segments them by historical value, drafts a personalized winback series per tier, and flags who you should suppress before they tank your deliverability.”
