Example prompts
- “/cold-email-templates-34”
Workflow steps
9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Lead with pain not features
- Keep qualification simple (deeper on calls)
- Personalize to person not just company
- Use specific social proof numbers ("47% increase" not "significant improvement")
- Soft CTAs work better ("worth a look?" vs "book a call")
- Multi-channel coordination (email + LinkedIn + ads)
- Humor reduces tension
- Timing matters (new role signals peak at days 14-45)
- Value-first before asking
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 Templates 34 loads about 581 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 185 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.
