What it does

Email Response Simulation is an agent skill from extruct-ai/gtm-skills. Deep persona simulation and skeptical buyer review for cold emails. Builds a full prospect "world" from LinkedIn + company data, defines their professional reality (KPIs, pain points, inbox behavior), then runs a skeptical buyer roast — emotional reaction first, business evaluation second. One prospect at a time, Tier 1 only. Triggers on: "review email", "copy feedback", "email feedback", "would they reply", "persona review", "check this email", "review this draft", "roast this email", "skeptical buyer".

Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/persona-review-template.md`).

It sits in Sales & Support, covering Email writing, Cold outreach and Email management. It works with LinkedIn.

When your agent uses it

  • Would they reply
  • Check this email
  • Review this draft
  • Roast this email

Example prompts

  • “review email”
  • “copy feedback”
  • “email feedback”
  • “/email-response-simulation”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Data Enrichment and World Building
  2. Professional Reality
  3. Skeptical Buyer Roast
  4. Risk Flags and Refinement
  5. Output
  6. Iterate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 34406cb. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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 Response Simulation loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 134 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,058 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~134
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.5k

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 1,058 words (~2,804 tokens).
