What it does

Deliverability Test Public is an agent skill from growthenginenowoslawski/coldoutboundskills. Compare reply rates, bounce rates, and positive reply rates broken down by inbox type (SMTP / Gmail / Outlook) for a Smartlead account. Use when you want to know "which inbox type delivers best" or when debugging unexplained deliverability differences across a mixed fleet. Operates via Smartlead API only (no database required).

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/inbox-type-compare.ts`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Transactional email and Email management. It works with Gmail. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Claude Code skills for cold email and outbound sales. Grade campaigns, export Prospeo searches, scrape Google Maps — all from Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • You want to know which inbox type delivers best
  • Debugging unexplained deliverability differences across a mixed fleet

Example prompts

  • “which inbox type delivers best”
  • “/deliverability-test-public”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in SMARTLEAD_API_KEY

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Pulls all email accounts via /email-accounts API paginated
  2. Groups by type field (GMAIL, OUTLOOK, SMTP, etc.)
  3. For each campaign that uses these inboxes, pulls per-inbox stats from /campaigns/{id}/analytics and…
  4. Aggregates sent/replies/bounces within each type group
  5. Prints formatted table

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 25c5d85. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (TypeScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • SMARTLEAD_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Deliverability Test Public loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 347 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Compare reply rates, bounce rates, and positive reply rates broken down by inbox type (SMTP / Gmail / Outlook) for a Smartlead account. Use when you want to know "which inbox type delivers best" or when debugging unexplained deliverability differences across a mixed fleet. Operates via Smartlead API only (no database required).

Deliverability Test — Inbox Type Comparison

Compare reply rates, bounce rates, and positive reply rates broken down by inbox type (SMTP, Gmail / G Suite, Outlook / Office365) across your Smartlead account. Use it to answer "are my Gmail inboxes performing better than my SMTP ones?" or "why is one inbox type bouncing more than the others?"

Why this exists

Different inbox types have different deliverability characteristics:

  • Gmail / G Suite — highest trust, fewest bounces, often best reply rates
  • Office365 — good reputation, but stricter spam filtering
  • SMTP (Zapmail, Maildoso, Mailforge, custom) — varies wildly by provider, often has higher bounces in the first 30 days of domain life

If your campaigns mix inbox types, this skill shows which type is earning its keep.

What you need

  • SMARTLEAD_API_KEY in env
  • Optional: --client-id=<id> for sub-clients
  • Optional: --days=<N> lookback (default 7)

Steps

bash
# Full account, last 7 days
npx tsx scripts/inbox-type-compare.ts

# Specific sub-client, 14-day lookback
npx tsx scripts/inbox-type-compare.ts --client-id=5560 --days=14

# Just show today
npx tsx scripts/inbox-type-compare.ts --days=1

Output

Inbox Type Comparison — last 7 days

Type              Inboxes    Sent     Replies   Bounces    Reply %   Bounce %
---------------   ------   -------   -------   -------    -------   --------
G Suite               12    3,120       42        12        1.35%      0.38%
Office365             24    6,440       65        28        1.01%      0.43%
SMTP                  44   10,780       55        98        0.51%      0.91%
---------------   ------   -------   -------   -------    -------   --------
TOTAL                 80   20,340      162       138        0.80%      0.68%

Takeaways:
- G Suite has the highest reply rate (1.35%) and lowest bounce rate.
- SMTP reply rate is 60% lower than G Suite — investigate domain reputation.
- SMTP bounce rate is 2x average — run /email-deliverability-audit on SMTP domains.

How it works

  1. Pulls all email accounts via /email-accounts API paginated
  2. Groups by type field (GMAIL, OUTLOOK, SMTP, etc.)
  3. For each campaign that uses these inboxes, pulls per-inbox stats from /campaigns/{id}/analytics and /campaigns/{id}/sequence-analytics-by-email-account
  4. Aggregates sent/replies/bounces within each type group
  5. Prints formatted table

Common gotchas

  • Reply rate here is RAW, not positive. For positive reply rate (the more important metric), use /positive-reply-scoring.
  • Small inbox counts are noisy. If you only have 2 Gmail inboxes and 40 SMTP ones, the Gmail numbers aren't statistically meaningful.
  • Inbox type labels can be surprising. Some providers register as "SMTP" even when they're technically Gmail-proxied. Trust the label Smartlead gave them.

What to do next

If one inbox type is underperforming: /smartlead-inbox-manager to retire the bad ones (tag retired, disable warmup). If replacements are needed, /zapmail-domain-setup-public to provision new domains on a different provider type.

If all types are healthy: back to the weekly rhythm via /cold-email-weekly-rhythm.

Or wait: small sample sizes (<500 sends per type) are noisy. If your results are inconclusive, run again in 7 days with more data.

  • /email-deliverability-audit — full audit (SPF/DKIM/DMARC + reputation + spam placement)
  • /positive-reply-scoring — the metric that matters, not just reply rate
  • /smartlead-inbox-manager — rotate out bad inboxes, tag by performance
