What it does

Draft Outreach is an agent skill from w95/awesome-claude-corporate-skills. Research a prospect then draft personalized outreach. Uses web research by default, supercharged with enrichment and CRM. Trigger with "draft outreach to [person/company]", "write cold email to [prospect]", "reach out to [name]".

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k 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. The repository describes itself as: 166 production-ready Claude AI skills organized by corporate role — executive leadership, finance, HR, marketing, sales, legal, operations, engineering, product, data, customer…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • With draft outreach to [person/company]
  • Write cold email to [prospect]
  • Reach out to [name]

Example prompts

  • “draft outreach to [person/company]”
  • “write cold email to [prospect]”
  • “reach out to [name]”
  • “/draft-outreach”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Parse Request
  2. Research First (Always)
  3. Identify Hook
  4. Draft Message
  5. Create Email Draft

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 78dbc7c. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Draft Outreach loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 385 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k

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.

Draft Outreach

Research first, then draft. This skill never sends generic outreach - it always researches the prospect first to personalize the message. Works standalone with web search, supercharged when you connect your tools.

Connectors (Optional)

CRMPrior relationship context, existing contacts

No connectors? Web research works great. I'll output the email text for you to copy.

Execution Flow

Step 1: Parse Request
Input patterns:
- "draft outreach to John Smith at Acme" → Person + company
- "write cold email to Acme's CTO" → Role + company
- "reach out to sarah@acme.com" → Email provided
- "LinkedIn message to [LinkedIn URL]" → Profile provided
Step 2: Research First (Always)

Use research-prospect skill internally:

1. Web search for company + person
2. If Enrichment connected: Get verified contact info, background
3. If CRM connected: Check for prior relationship

Must find before drafting:

  • Who they are (title, background)
  • What the company does
  • Recent news or trigger
  • Personalization hook
Step 3: Identify Hook
Priority order for hooks:
1. Trigger event (funding, hiring, news) → Most timely
2. Mutual connection → Social proof
3. Their content (post, article, talk) → Shows you did research
4. Company initiative → Relevant to their priorities
5. Role-based pain point → Least personal but still relevant
Step 4: Draft Message

Email Structure (AIDA):

SUBJECT: [Personalized, <50 chars, no spam words]

[Opening: Personal hook - shows you researched them]

[Interest: Their problem/opportunity in 1-2 sentences]

[Desire: Brief proof point - similar company result]

[Action: Clear, low-friction CTA]

[Signature]

LinkedIn Connection Request (<300 chars):

Hi [Name], [Mutual connection/shared interest/genuine compliment].
Would love to connect. [No pitch]

LinkedIn Follow-up Message:

Thanks for connecting! [Value-first: insight, article, observation]

[Soft transition to why you reached out]

[Question, not pitch]
Step 5: Create Email Draft
If email connector available:
1. Create draft with to, subject, body
2. Return draft link
3. Note: "Draft created - review and send"

If not available:
1. Output email text
2. Note: "Copy to your email client"

Email Style Guidelines

  1. Be concise but informative — Get to the point quickly. Busy people skim.
  2. No markdown formatting — Never use asterisks, bold (text), or other markdown. Write plain text that looks natural in any email client.
  3. Short paragraphs — 2-3 sentences max per paragraph. White space is your friend.
  4. Simple lists — If listing items, use plain dashes. No fancy formatting.

Good:

Here's what I can share:
- Case study from a similar company
- 15-min intro call this week
- Quick demo if helpful

Bad:

**What I Can Offer:**
- **Case study** from a similar company
- **Intro call** this week

What NOT to Do

Generic openers:

  • "I hope this email finds you well"
  • "I'm reaching out because..."
  • "I wanted to introduce myself"

Feature dumps:

  • Long paragraphs about your product
  • Multiple value props at once
  • No clear CTA

Fake personalization:

  • "I noticed you work at [Company]" (obviously)
  • "Congrats on your role" (without context)

Markdown in emails:

  • Using bold or italic asterisks
  • Headers or formatted lists that won't render

Instead:

  • Lead with something specific you learned
  • One clear value prop
  • One clear ask
  • Plain text formatting only

Channel Selection

IF verified email available:
  → Email preferred (higher response rate)
  → Also provide LinkedIn backup

IF no email:
  → LinkedIn connection request
  → Follow-up message template for after connection

IF warm intro possible:
  → Suggest mutual connection outreach first

Company Configuration [CUSTOMIZE]

## Outreach Settings

- My name: [Your Name]

Example

Input: "draft outreach to the Head of Engineering at Notion"

Research finds:

  • Name: David Tibbitts
  • Recent news: Notion launched AI features
  • Hiring: 5 ML engineer roles open
  • Background: Ex-Facebook, Stanford CS

Output:

markdown
# Outreach Draft: David Tibbitts @ Notion

## Research Summary
**Target:** David Tibbitts, Head of Engineering at Notion
**Hook:** They're scaling AI features and hiring ML talent
**Goal:** Intro call about AI infrastructure

---

## Email Draft

**To:** david@notion.so
**Subject:** Notion's AI scaling + a thought

---

Hi David,

Saw Notion's AI rollout is gaining serious traction - congrats.
With 5 ML roles open, seems like you're scaling fast.

Curious how you're thinking about inference infrastructure
as usage grows. We helped [Similar Company] cut their AI
serving costs 40% while improving latency.

Worth a 15-min call to see if relevant to your roadmap?

Best,
[Name]

---

**Subject Alternatives:**
1. Notion AI + scaling question
2. Quick thought on Notion's ML hiring
