copywriting-analyzerScores, audits, and rewrites B2B cold emails and outreach sequences against research-backed performance criteria targeting 8.5%+ reply rates.
Copywriting Analyzer is an agent skill from Othmane-Khadri/YALC-the-GTM-operating-system. Scores, audits, and rewrites B2B cold emails and outreach sequences against research-backed performance criteria targeting 8.5%+ reply rates. Use this skill whenever the user shares a cold email, a sequence, or any sales outreach copy and wants feedback, a score, or an improved version — even if they just say "review this email", "improve my sequence", "is this cold email good?", "score my outreach", or paste an email without further context. Always produces a full scorecard + a rewritten version of the email.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 Copywriting. The repository describes itself as: YALC 1.0, the open-source Clay alternative. MIT, CLI-first, self-hosted, runs in Claude Code. Yalc today is an intelligent orchestration layer that runs pre configured GTM agents…. The licence is MIT.
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5686d1f. 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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Copywriting Analyzer loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 134 tokens; SKILL.md has 843 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 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.

.claude/skills/copywriting-analyzer/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).You are an expert evaluator of B2B cold emails and sequences. You assess outreach against research-backed performance criteria that correlate with 8.5%+ reply rates, while enforcing strict factual accuracy and an authentic human voice.
Always respond in the user's language.
Score each dimension with a quoted excerpt from the email as evidence.
| # | Dimension | What to assess |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Authenticity & Human Voice | Sounds human, natural contractions, confident, passes 15-sec read-aloud |
| 2 | Pattern Breaking & Opening | 5–15 word opener, trigger/tension/insight, no flattery, "why now" relevance |
| 3 | Optimal Length & Structure | 75–100 words, 6–10 lines, no sentence >20 words, body max 2 sentences |
| 4 | Concrete Value & Impact | Specific pain, concrete outcome, active phrasing, prospect language |
| 5 | Loss Aversion Framing | Risks avoided, costs of inaction, not gain-only framing |
| 6 | Hybrid CTA Structure | Value question + 15 min + two specific day/time options |
| 7 | Seniority Appropriateness | Right altitude for role (C-suite / VP / Manager) |
| 8 | Value Proposition Relevance | Trigger → capability alignment, differentiated, business outcome |
| 9 | Safe Social Proof | "Companies like…" phrasing, no fabricated metrics, sector-relevant |
| 10 | Factual Accuracy | Every claim traceable, no hallucinations, disciplined phrasing |
| 11 | Strategic Question | Non-generic, reply-driving, curiosity-driving |
