What it does

Networking Outreach is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write networking messages that actually get replies — warm, specific, and easy to say yes to — for reconnecting, cold outreach, referrals, or asking for advice. Use when asked to help me network, write a message to reconnect / to a recruiter / to someone at [company], reach out for a referral, or networking message help. Produces a message tuned to the relationship and the ask, a specific and genuine hook, a low-friction request the person can easily grant, follow-up guidance, and a note on giving value — not a…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Recruiting and HR and Cold outreach. 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 help me network
  • Write a message to reconnect / to a recruiter / to someone at [company]
  • Reach out for a referral
  • Networking message help

Example prompts

  • “pick your brain”
  • “/networking-outreach”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Make it about them and specific. Open with a genuine, particular reason you're contacting this person — their work, a shared connection, a…
  2. Get to a clear, small ask. Say what you'd like plainly, and make it low-friction — one specific question or a short call, not "pick your…
  3. Respect their time. Keep it short, acknowledge they're busy, and make saying yes (or a quick pointer) easy.
  4. Offer or ease, don't just extract. Where you can, offer something or at least frame it so it costs them little — reciprocity, even small…
  5. Follow up once, gracefully. A single, polite follow-up after a reasonable gap is fine; more isn't.

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

Networking Outreach loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 145 tokens; SKILL.md has 534 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~145
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Write networking messages that actually get replies — warm, specific, and easy to say yes to — for reconnecting, cold outreach, referrals, or asking for advice. Use when asked to help me network, write a message to reconnect / to a recruiter / to someone at [company], reach out for a referral, or networking message help. Produces a message tuned to the relationship and the ask, a specific and genuine hook, a low-friction request the person can easily grant, follow-up guidance, and a note on giving value — not a generic 'pick your brain' that gets ignored.

Networking Outreach

Most networking messages get ignored because they're generic, all about the sender, and ask for too much ("can I pick your brain?"). The ones that work are specific, respectful of the person's time, and easy to say yes to. This writes outreach tuned to who you're contacting and what you actually want — reconnecting, a referral, advice, or a cold intro — so you get replies, not silence.

What This Skill Produces

  • A tuned message — matched to the relationship (old colleague, cold contact, recruiter, someone at a target company) and your actual goal
  • A specific, genuine hook — a real reason you're reaching out to them (shared connection, their work, a specific interest), not a mass template
  • A low-friction ask — a request that's easy and quick to grant (a specific question, a 15-minute call, a pointer) rather than an open-ended time sink
  • Follow-up guidance — how and when to follow up once without being annoying
  • A give-value angle — how to offer something or at least make it effortless, so it's not purely extractive

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The goal — reconnect, referral, advice, informational chat, job lead, or intro
  • The person — who they are and your relationship (or none) with them
  • The connection — anything shared (a mutual contact, their work, a common background)
  • The channel — LinkedIn, email, or a warm intro
  • Your context — enough that the hook is genuine (job search, career interest, etc.)

Framework: Specific, Easy, Respectful

  1. Make it about them and specific. Open with a genuine, particular reason you're contacting this person — their work, a shared connection, a real interest. Generic = ignored.
  2. Get to a clear, small ask. Say what you'd like plainly, and make it low-friction — one specific question or a short call, not "pick your brain" open-endedly.
  3. Respect their time. Keep it short, acknowledge they're busy, and make saying yes (or a quick pointer) easy.
  4. Offer or ease, don't just extract. Where you can, offer something or at least frame it so it costs them little — reciprocity, even small, changes the response.
  5. Follow up once, gracefully. A single, polite follow-up after a reasonable gap is fine; more isn't.

Output Format

Networking message: [relationship] · goal [x] · channel [y]

Message

[Specific genuine hook — why them] … [brief context] … [the clear, low-friction ask] … [make it easy to say yes] … [warm close].

The ask, sized right: [one specific question / 15-min call / a pointer]. Give-value angle: [what you can offer or how you're minimizing their effort]. Follow-up: [when + a light one-liner], once only.

Quality Checks

  • Message is specific to the person, not a template
  • Contains one clear, low-friction ask
  • Is short and respects the person's time
  • Includes a give-value or effort-minimizing angle
  • Provides graceful single follow-up guidance
  • Tuned to the relationship and channel

Anti-Patterns

  • "Can I pick your brain?" — vague and time-expensive.
  • Generic templates with no personal hook.
  • Long, all-about-me messages.
  • A huge ask from a cold contact.
  • Multiple pushy follow-ups.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Help me write a message to reconnect with an old colleague."
  • "Reach out to someone at a company I want to work for."
  • "Message a recruiter on LinkedIn without sounding desperate."
  • "Ask a contact for a referral, politely."
  • "Cold-email someone whose work I admire for advice."
