What this skill does
# Write Cold Email Generate a cold email that gets responses using proven copywriting frameworks. ## Input Parse $ARGUMENTS for: - **Target**: Who they're emailing (role, company, industry) - **Goal**: What they want (meeting, intro, feedback, sale) - **Context**: Personalization hooks (mutual connection, recent news, specific pain point) If arguments are incomplete, ask for the missing pieces. ## Frameworks (Choose the best fit) ### AIDA (Awareness → Interest → Desire → Action) - Hook with relevance - Build interest with value - Create desire with proof/benefit - Clear CTA ### PAS (Problem → Agitate → Solution) - Identify their problem - Make it feel urgent - Position as the solution ### BAB (Before → After → Bridge) - Their current state (problem) - Their ideal state (outcome) - How you bridge the gap ## Hard Rules 1. **50-125 words** - Shorter emails get more replies 2. **Subject line**: 3-5 words, lowercase, no clickbait 3. **First line**: Personalized - reference something specific about them 4. **No fluff**: Cut "I hope this email finds you well", "My name is...", "I wanted to reach out" 5. **One CTA**: Single, specific ask (not "let me know if you're interested") 6. **Read time**: Under 30 seconds 7. **Mobile-friendly**: Short paragraphs, no walls of text ## What Makes It Human - Sounds like a real person, not a template - Has a specific reason for emailing THIS person - Shows you did research - Doesn't oversell or use hype words - Has a clear "what's in it for them" ## Output Format ``` Subject: [subject line] [Email body] [First name only] ``` **Framework used:** [which one and why] **Personalization:** [what angle you used] **Word count:** [number]
