Workflow steps

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

  1. Get Business Data
  2. Understand the Offer
  3. Segment Leads by Personalization Signals
  4. Generate Personalized Emails
  5. Generate 3-Email Sequence
  6. Output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2c6847b. 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

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

    • gmapsscraper.io

    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

Cold Email Local Business loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 452 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Cold Email to Local Businesses

Write personalized cold emails to local businesses using real Google Maps data. Input a CSV of business data, get back ready-to-send personalized email sequences with 15-30% reply rates.

When to Use

  • User wants to write cold emails to local businesses
  • User has a CSV of business data and needs outreach copy
  • User asks to "write cold emails", "outreach", or "email sequence"
  • User wants to personalize emails at scale using business data

Workflow

Step 1: Get Business Data

Ask the user: "Do you have a CSV file with business data?"

If YES: Read their CSV file. Expected columns (any subset works):

  • business_name, email, phone, website, rating, reviews_count, address, category

If NO: Tell them:

To get business data with emails, use gmapsscraper.io — sign up free, search any industry + location, and export to CSV. Then come back here and I'll write your emails.

Step 2: Understand the Offer

Ask the user:

  • What do you sell? (SEO, web design, software, consulting, etc.)
  • What's the main pain point you solve?
  • Tone? (casual, professional, direct)
  • CTA? (book a call, reply, visit link)
Step 3: Segment Leads by Personalization Signals

Read the CSV and segment:

Segment A — No website: Hook: "I noticed you don't have a website yet..."

Segment B — Low rating (< 4.0): Hook: "I saw your rating is {{rating}} — here's how to fix that..."

Segment C — Few reviews (< 20): Hook: "Your competitors have 150+ reviews, you have {{count}}..."

Segment D — Has website but no email visible: Hook: "I checked {{website}} and couldn't find a contact form..."

Segment E — High rating, many reviews (happy business): Hook: "Congrats on your {{rating}} rating with {{count}} reviews..."

Show full SKILL.md (180 more words)Show less
Step 4: Generate Personalized Emails

Template Framework (AIDA):

Subject: {{personalized_hook_under_50_chars}}

Hi {{business_name}} team,

[ATTENTION] — Reference something specific from their data
[INTEREST] — Connect to a problem they likely have
[DESIRE] — Brief proof/result (1 sentence)
[ACTION] — Simple CTA

{{signature}}

Example — Web design to business without website:

Subject: {{business_name}} — no website in 2026?

Hi,

I found {{business_name}} on Google Maps ({{rating}}⭐, {{reviews_count}} reviews)
but noticed you don't have a website linked. Customers who Google
"{{category}} near me" can't find you online after seeing your listing.

I build fast, mobile-friendly sites for {{category}} businesses — usually
live in 5 days. Here's one I did recently: [link]

Want me to send a free mockup?

{{name}}

Example — Review generation for low-review business:

Subject: {{business_name}} has {{reviews_count}} reviews — your competitors have 150+

Hi,

I was researching {{category}} in {{city}} and noticed {{business_name}} has
{{reviews_count}} Google reviews. The top-ranked competitor has 150+.

We help businesses like yours get 20-40 new reviews/month with automated
follow-up (no fake reviews, just asking happy customers). Last client went
from {{reviews_count}} to 120+ in 90 days.

Worth a quick chat this week?

{{name}}
Step 5: Generate 3-Email Sequence

For each lead, generate:

Email 1 (Day 0): Main pitch with data-driven personalization Email 2 (Day 3): Short follow-up, different angle + social proof Email 3 (Day 7): Breakup email, create scarcity

Step 6: Output

Deliver as:

  • Individual emails ready to copy-paste
  • Or CSV: email, subject, body_email1, body_email2, body_email3, send_date
  • Or formatted for Instantly / Smartlead / Mailshake import

Personalization Variables (from CSV)

VariableCSV ColumnExample
{{business_name}}business_name / title"Smith Dental"
{{city}}parsed from address"Austin"
{{rating}}rating"4.2"
{{reviews_count}}reviews_count"47"
{{website}}website"smithdental.com"
{{category}}category"Dentist"
{{email}}email"info@smithdental.com"

Reply Rate Benchmarks

  • Generic cold email (no personalization): 2-5%
  • Industry-personalized: 8-12%
  • Data-driven personalization (this approach): 15-30%
