What it does

Investor Cold Email is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write a cold or warm-intro email to an investor that actually gets a reply — short, specific, traction-forward, with a clear ask. Use when asked to email an investor, write a fundraising outreach, request a warm intro, or craft a forwardable blurb. Produces a tight cold email, a forwardable intro blurb a mutual contact can paste, and the follow-up — all skimmable on a phone.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 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 Sales & Support, covering Cold outreach and Fundraising and pitch decks. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to email an investor
  • Write a fundraising outreach
  • Request a warm intro
  • Craft a forwardable blurb

Example prompts

  • “/investor-cold-email”

Workflow steps

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

  1. The cold email
  2. Forwardable intro blurb
  3. The follow-up

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Investor Cold Email loads about 686 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 355 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~686

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.

Write a cold or warm-intro email to an investor that actually gets a reply — short, specific, traction-forward, with a clear ask.

Investor Cold Email Skill

Investors skim outreach on their phone in seconds. The emails that get replies are short, lead with the most credible proof, and make one clear ask. This skill writes them.

Working from a brief

Given a rough company description, write the full email anyway and flag invented metrics (assumed — replace with real). Keep it ruthlessly short. Never leave placeholders an investor would see.

Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided):

  • What the company does in one line, and stage/raise
  • The single most credible traction fact (revenue, growth, notable customer/user count, waitlist)
  • The investor and any genuine reason for reaching out to them specifically
  • The connection (cold, or a mutual contact for a warm intro)

Output Format

1. The cold email
  • Subject: 4–7 words, specific (e.g. Acme — $30k MRR, growing 25% MoM, raising seed)
  • Body: ≤ 120 words, 4 short paragraphs:
    1. One line: who you are + the hook (the best traction number)
    2. What you do + why now (one sentence each)
    3. The single most impressive proof point
    4. The ask — a specific, low-friction next step (a 20-min call; deck attached)
  • Why them: one genuine line on why this investor (thesis fit, portfolio, public take) — never generic flattery.
Show full SKILL.md (153 more words)Show less
2. Forwardable intro blurb

A 3–4 sentence paragraph the mutual contact can paste with zero editing — written so it makes them look good for forwarding it.

3. The follow-up

A 2-line nudge to send if there's no reply in ~5 business days — adds a new data point (a milestone, a new customer), never just "bumping this."

Quality Checks

  • Cold email is under ~120 words and skims on a phone
  • Leads with the single most credible proof point
  • One clear, low-friction ask — not "let me know if interested"
  • The "why you" line is specific to this investor, not flattery
  • Forwardable blurb needs zero editing by the intro-giver

Anti-Patterns

  • Long backstory before the hook
  • Generic flattery ("I love your work")
  • Multiple asks or a vague one
  • A follow-up that just says "bumping this" with no new information

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Email an investor."
  • "Write a fundraising outreach."
  • "Request a warm intro."
  • "Craft a forwardable blurb."
