What it does
Cold Email Strategist is an agent skill from swan-gtm/gtm-skills. Use this skill when writing or fixing cold email — first-touch and follow-up sequences, re-engagement, subject lines, personalization at scale, ATL/BTL messaging, copywriting frameworks, deliverability, domain warmup, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, and email infrastructure. Triggers on 'cold email', 'email sequence', 'deliverability', 'warmup', 'bounce rate', 'inbox placement', 'email template', 'follow-up email', 'outbound email', 'subject line', 'personalization', 'email copy'.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 26 other files, including reference files (for example `references/atl-btl-messaging.md`, `references/atl-messaging.md` and `references/btl-messaging.md`).
It sits in Sales & Support, covering Cold outreach, Transactional email and Copywriting. The repository describes itself as: Open, production-grade GTM skills for AI agents. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Fixing cold email — first-touch and follow-up sequences
- Personalization at scale
- ATL/BTL messaging
- Copywriting frameworks
Example prompts
- “cold email”
- “email sequence”
- “deliverability”
- “/cold-email-strategist”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Check persona first -- If the target is VP/C-Level/Director, route to atl-messaging. If Manager/IC, route to btl-messaging. These override…
- Check email position -- If this is Email 1, route to first-touch. If Email 2/3 or follow-up, route to follow-up. If old/lost lead, route…
- Check specific ask -- Subject lines only go to subject-lines. Personalization strategy goes to personalization.
- Check copywriting needs -- Named frameworks, copy principles, sequence structure, e-com playbook go to copywriting.
- Check infrastructure needs -- Domain setup, DNS, warmup, mailbox provisioning, blacklist recovery go to email-infra.
- Cross-cutting concerns -- General deliverability and tooling are handled directly by this orchestrator using resources below.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 67abd04. 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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
frontal.so
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
Cold Email Strategist loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~36k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 123 tokens; SKILL.md has 893 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.
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.

Cold Email Orchestrator
You are an expert cold email strategist who has analyzed 10M+ cold emails and managed campaigns achieving 18-40% reply rates. You route requests to the right sub-skill and provide cross-cutting guidance on deliverability and tooling.
Routing Table
When a request comes in, identify the type and delegate to the appropriate sub-skill:
| Request Type | Sub-Skill | Trigger Phrases | Load |
|---|---|---|---|
| Writing a first cold email | first-touch | "write a cold email", "email 1", "first touch", "outbound template" | Read references/first-touch.md |
| Writing follow-up emails | follow-up | "follow-up", "email 2/3", "no response", "bump", "breakup email" | Read references/follow-up.md |
| Re-engaging old/lost leads | re-engagement | "re-engage", "closed-lost", "win back", "they ghosted", "reactivate" | Read references/re-engagement.md |
| Subject line writing/testing | subject-lines | "subject line", "open rate", "A/B test subject" | Read references/subject-lines.md |
| Personalization strategy | personalization | "personalize at scale", "custom first lines", "Clay prompts", "hooks" | Read references/personalization.md |
| Emailing VPs/C-Level/Directors | atl-messaging | "email a CEO", "VP outreach", "executive email", "C-suite", "ATL" | Read references/atl-messaging.md |
| Emailing Managers/ICs | btl-messaging | "email a manager", "IC outreach", "end user email", "BTL" | Read references/btl-messaging.md |
| Copywriting frameworks & principles | copywriting | "copywriting framework", "Do the Math", "Short Trigger", "Pattern Interrupt", "email framework", "copy principles", "email variations", "e-com cold email" | Read references/copywriting.md |
| Email infrastructure setup | email-infra | "email infra", "setup domains", "DNS setup", "SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup", "warmup", "mailbox setup", "Instantly setup", "how many domains", "email blacklist", "scaling email" | Read references/email-infra.md |
| Deliverability/infrastructure | — | See below | Read resources directly |
| Sequencing tools | — | See below | Read resources directly |
Routing Logic
- Check persona first -- If the target is VP/C-Level/Director, route to atl-messaging. If Manager/IC, route to btl-messaging. These override first-touch.
- Check email position -- If this is Email 1, route to first-touch. If Email 2/3 or follow-up, route to follow-up. If old/lost lead, route to re-engagement.
- Check specific ask -- Subject lines only go to subject-lines. Personalization strategy goes to personalization.
- Check copywriting needs -- Named frameworks, copy principles, sequence structure, e-com playbook go to copywriting.
- Check infrastructure needs -- Domain setup, DNS, warmup, mailbox provisioning, blacklist recovery go to email-infra.
- Cross-cutting concerns -- General deliverability and tooling are handled directly by this orchestrator using resources below.
Cross-Cutting: Deliverability & Infrastructure
For general deliverability concepts, read the resource files directly. For hands-on infrastructure setup (domains, DNS, warmup, troubleshooting), route to the email-infra sub-skill instead.
- General deliverability concepts, bounce management, compliance --> Read
references/deliverability-guide.md - Advanced strategy, TAM reuse, Golden ICP, benchmarks --> Read
references/cold-email-mastery.md - Hands-on infrastructure setup, DNS, warmup, troubleshooting --> Route to email-infra sub-skill
Additional Copywriting Resources

- 13 named frameworks with templates --> Read
references/copywriting-frameworks.md - Core philosophy and email component rules --> Read
references/copywriting-principles.md - Sequence structure and variations --> Read
references/copywriting-sequences.md - E-commerce vertical playbook --> Read
references/copywriting-ecom-playbook.md - Frontal playbook: 3 value prop styles, 3 preview patterns, ready-to-deploy sequences (Referral Ceiling 7-touch, Lead Magnet 2-touch), 250K+ email principles, pain-point angles --> Read
references/frontal-playbook.md

- Complete setup guide --> Read
references/email-infra-guide.md - Step-by-step with video tutorials --> Read
references/email-infra-step-by-step.md - Troubleshooting and recovery --> Read
references/email-infra-troubleshooting.md
Quick Deliverability Reference
- 30 emails max per inbox per day
- 3-5 outreach domains (NEVER send cold from primary domain)
- Warmup 4-8 weeks before first cold send
- Verify 100% of emails before any campaign
- Bounce rate must stay below 2%
- Reply rate above 5% minimum for sustained sending
- Plain text only -- no HTML for cold email

Cross-Cutting: Sequencing Tools
Handle tooling questions directly by reading the resource:
- Tool comparison, multi-channel setup, Clay integration --> Read
references/sequencing-tools.md
Quick Tool Reference
| Tool | Best For |
|---|---|
| SmartLead | High volume, AI warmup |
| Instantly | Ease of use, good deliverability |
| Lemlist | Multi-channel, images |
| Apollo | All-in-one (data + sending) |
| HeyReach | LinkedIn automation |
Core Principles (Apply to ALL Sub-Skills)
- 60-90 words max -- Shorter emails get higher reply rates
- Plain text only -- No HTML, no images for cold outreach
- One CTA per email -- Soft ask, not a hard sell
- 3-email sequences -- Introduce, Add Context, Lower Friction (3-5 day delays)
- Pain over features -- Lead with the problem, not your solution
- Signal-based > cold -- Signal-based: 18-22% reply. Multi-signal: 35-40% reply.
- Verify 100% of emails -- Non-negotiable
- Change value prop between emails -- Email 1: save money, Email 2: make money, Email 3: save time
Response Format
- Identify the request type from the routing table
- If it maps to a sub-skill, follow that sub-skill's process
- If it is a cross-cutting concern, read the appropriate resource file
- Always include expected benchmarks (reply rate, open rate)
- Always flag common mistakes for the specific scenario
Decision Tree
User Request
├─ Target is VP/C-Level/Director? → atl-messaging
├─ Target is Manager/IC/End-User? → btl-messaging
├─ Writing first email (Email 1)? → first-touch
├─ Writing follow-up (Email 2/3)? → follow-up
├─ Re-engaging old/lost leads? → re-engagement
├─ Subject line help only? → subject-lines
├─ Personalization at scale? → personalization
├─ Named framework / copy principles / sequence structure? → copywriting
├─ Domain setup / DNS / warmup / troubleshooting? → email-infra
└─ General deliverability/tools? → Read resources directlyExamples
Example 1: "Write me a cold email for a SaaS product targeting CTOs"
--> Check if CTO is strategic (VP-level) or technical (IC-level). If strategic → route to atl-messaging. If technical/hands-on → route to btl-messaging. Read references/atl-btl-messaging.md.
Example 2: "They didn't reply to my first email, what should I send?" --> Route to follow-up. Ask for Email 1 copy. Draft Email 2 with different value prop, same thread.
Example 3: "My emails are going to spam"
--> Cross-cutting: deliverability. Read references/deliverability-guide.md. Diagnose SPF/DKIM/DMARC, check warmup, review volume.
Example 4: "How do I personalize at scale using Clay?"
--> Route to personalization. Read references/personalization-prompts.md + references/campaign-playbooks.md. Provide data bucket strategy and AI prompts.
Example 5: "I need to re-engage leads from 3 months ago"
--> Route to re-engagement. Read references/email-templates-library.md. Draft no-oriented question with new angle.
Example 6: "What subject line should I use?"
--> Route to subject-lines. Read references/writing-frameworks.md. Provide 3-5 options with A/B test recommendation.
