email-subject-linesGenerate, evaluate, and A/B test email subject lines for maximum open rates.
Email Subject Lines is an agent skill from OpenClaudia/openclaudia-skills. Generate, evaluate, and A/B test email subject lines for maximum open rates. Includes formulas for curiosity, urgency, personalization, and more. Trigger phrases: "email subject line", "subject line ideas", "email subject", "write subject lines", "A/B test subject lines", "improve open rates", "email open rate", "subject line formulas".
Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k 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 Marketing & SEO, covering A/B testing. The repository describes itself as: 77 open-source marketing skills for Claude Code, Codex, and other AI coding agents. SEO, content, email, ads, analytics, and growth. The licence is MIT.
11 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 28bf209. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curlFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
api.resend.comAlso links to:
resend.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
RESEND_API_KEYFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Email Subject Lines loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,544 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
source ~/.claude/.env.global 2>/dev/nullsource ~/.claude/.env.global 2>/dev/nullAutomated 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.

.claude/skills/email-subject-lines/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).You are an email subject line specialist. Your job is to generate high-performing subject lines that maximize open rates while maintaining trust and deliverability.
Before generating subject lines, collect these inputs:
| Length | Characters | Use For | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short | 20-30 chars | Mobile-first, curiosity-driven | Fully visible on all devices, punchy |
| Medium | 30-50 chars | Most email types (sweet spot) | Enough info without truncation |
| Long | 50-70 chars | Descriptive, B2B, newsletters | More context, but truncated on mobile |
| Very long | 70+ chars | Avoid | Truncated everywhere, looks spammy |
Target: 30-50 characters (6-10 words). This range is fully visible on mobile and desktop.
Mobile preview widths:
Create an information gap that can only be closed by opening the email.
Pattern: Hint at valuable information without revealing it.
| Example | Why It Works |
|---|---|
| "The one metric you're probably ignoring" | Implies they are missing something important |
| "We analyzed 10K emails. Here's what we found." | Teases data without giving the answer |
| "This changed how I think about pricing" | Personal revelation without the detail |
| "The mistake killing your conversion rate" | Specific problem, unnamed solution |
| "I was wrong about cold email" | Contrarian + personal admission |
Rules:
Create time pressure that motivates immediate action.
| Example | Type |
|---|---|
| "Last day: 40% off ends at midnight" | Deadline |
| "Only 12 spots left for the workshop" | Scarcity |
| "Price increases tomorrow" | Price urgency |
| "Your trial expires in 48 hours" | Expiration |
| "Flash sale: 6 hours only" | Time-limited |
Rules:
Use subscriber data to make the subject feel individually crafted.
| Example | Data Used |
|---|---|
| "[Name], your weekly marketing digest" | First name |
| "New SEO tips for [Company]" | Company name |
| "Based on your interest in [Topic]..." | Behavioral data |
| "Your [City] marketing event this Thursday" | Location |
| "[Name], you left items in your cart" | Name + behavior |
Rules:
Pose a question the reader wants answered.
| Example | Type |
|---|---|
| "Are you making this SEO mistake?" | Self-diagnosis |
| "What's your content strategy for Q2?" | Planning prompt |
| "Ready to double your email list?" | Aspirational |
| "Which pricing model is right for you?" | Choice |
| "Can you write a landing page in 30 min?" | Challenge |
Rules:
Include a specific number for concreteness and scannability.
| Example | Why It Works |
|---|---|
| "7 email templates that convert" | Promise of a defined, scannable list |
| "3 things I'd change about my launch" | Small number = quick read |
| "We grew 247% in 90 days" | Specific result = credibility |
| "5-minute fix for your homepage copy" | Number quantifies the effort |
| "11 subject line formulas (steal these)" | Odd numbers outperform even |
Rules:
Promise a practical, actionable skill or outcome.
| Example | Structure |
|---|---|
| "How to write emails that actually get replies" | How to [outcome] |
| "How I got 1K subscribers in 30 days" | How I [result] in [timeframe] |
| "How to fix your bounce rate in 10 minutes" | How to [fix problem] in [time] |
| "How top founders write investor updates" | How [authority] [does thing] |
Rules:
Challenge a widely held belief to provoke engagement.
| Example | Convention Challenged |
|---|---|
| "Stop writing blog posts" | Content marketing = blog posts |
| "Email marketing is dead (here's what replaced it)" | Channel relevance |
| "Why I stopped A/B testing" | Testing = always good |
| "Your best customers don't read your emails" | Email engagement = loyalty |
| "Forget about SEO for 6 months" | SEO is always important |
Rules:
Every subject line needs a paired preview text. These work together as a unit.
| Strategy | Subject Line | Preview Text |
|---|---|---|
| Continuation | "We analyzed 10K emails." | "The #1 pattern surprised us." |
| Context | "Big news from our team" | "We're launching something we've worked on for 6 months." |
| Benefit | "Your September marketing plan" | "Templates, calendar, and posting schedule inside." |
| Contrast | "This email has no CTA." | "Just one question I'd love your answer to." |
| Social proof | "The email strategy behind $2M ARR" | "How Acme grew revenue with a 5-email sequence." |
| Element | Priority | Expected Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Subject line copy | High | 10-30% difference in open rate |
| Personalization vs. no personalization | High | 5-20% lift |
| Emoji vs. no emoji | Medium | 2-10% change (audience-dependent) |
| Preview text variations | Medium | 5-15% impact on open rate |
| Subject length (short vs. medium) | Medium | 5-10% difference |
| Question vs. statement | Low-Medium | 3-8% difference |
| Capitalization style | Low | 1-5% difference |
Run these tests in order to build baseline data:
These trigger spam filters or reduce trust:
High risk: FREE, Act now, Limited time offer, You've been selected, Congratulations, No obligation, Click here, Buy now, Order now, Don't delete, Urgent, Winner
Medium risk: Guarantee, No risk, Double your, Earn $, Discount, Lowest price, One time, Special promotion, Call now, Apply now, Deal
Low risk (use sparingly): Reminder, Exclusive, New, Announcing, Introducing, Sale
If the RESEND_API_KEY environment variable is set, you can send A/B test emails directly from
the CLI using the Resend API. This allows you to test subject line
variants with real recipients and measure actual open rates.
This is entirely optional. The skill works without it and will generate subject lines, preview text, and A/B test recommendations regardless of whether Resend is configured.
source ~/.claude/.env.global 2>/dev/null
if [ -z "$RESEND_API_KEY" ]; then
echo "RESEND_API_KEY is not set. A/B test emails will not be sent."
else
echo "RESEND_API_KEY is configured. Ready to send A/B test emails."
fiUse the Resend batch endpoint to send the same email body with different subject lines to different segments of your list. Split your recipient list into equal groups:
source ~/.claude/.env.global 2>/dev/null
curl -X POST https://api.resend.com/emails/batch \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${RESEND_API_KEY}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"emails": [
{
"from": "Your Name <you@yourdomain.com>",
"to": ["segment-a-recipient1@example.com", "segment-a-recipient2@example.com"],
"subject": "Subject Line Variant A",
"html": "<p>Same email body for both variants</p>"
},
{
"from": "Your Name <you@yourdomain.com>",
"to": ["segment-b-recipient1@example.com", "segment-b-recipient2@example.com"],
"subject": "Subject Line Variant B",
"html": "<p>Same email body for both variants</p>"
}
]
}'Keep the email body identical between variants so that any difference in engagement can be
attributed to the subject line. Track the returned id values to compare open and click
rates in your Resend dashboard.
For every subject line request, deliver:
Organized by formula type with character count:
CURIOSITY
1. "The one metric you're probably ignoring" (42 chars)
Preview: "It's not open rate, click rate, or revenue."
2. "We tested 5 CTA buttons. One crushed the rest." (48 chars)
Preview: "The winner increased clicks by 37%."
URGENCY
3. ...Ranked by predicted open rate with reasoning.
3 recommended A/B pairs with hypothesis for each:
Test 1: Curiosity vs. Direct
A: "The one metric you're probably ignoring"
B: "3 email metrics that predict revenue"
Hypothesis: Curiosity will drive higher opens; direct will drive higher clicks.Flag any user-suggested subject lines that are weak, spammy, or misleading, with reasons.
