Agentic Email Skill

Create polished, review-ready sales and lifecycle email sequences for agentic development services, then export them as branded PDF artifacts. Use for outreach, follow-up, proposal, close, kickoff, delivery, retention, referral, and win-back communication when the user wants structured copy without sending email.

At a Glance

What it creates	Best for	Output
Sales and lifecycle email sequences	Agentic workflow outreach, follow-up, proposal support, and post-sale communication	Branded PDF, Markdown, optional PNG preview

This skill turns verified buyer, workflow, offer, proof, and CTA details into concise CompleteTech-style email copy. It is local-only: it drafts and renders documents, but it does not send email or call mail-provider APIs.

Included Email Sets

Set	Covers
Outbound	Cold outreach, warm introductions, first follow-ups, examples, risk-control follow-ups, and breakups.
Discovery	Inbound response, qualification, booking, agenda confirmation, and post-discovery recap.
Sales motion	Proposal preview, proposal send, objections, close summaries, contract messages, invoice/deposit notes, and kickoff.
Post-sale	Delivery updates, review requests, handoff, expansion, referral, testimonial, retention, win-back, and nurture.

Use When

Use this skill when verified buyer, workflow, offer, proof, and CTA details need to become polished email copy or a branded PDF email-sequence artifact.

Boundaries

This skill does	This skill does not
Draft email copy and email sequences.	Send email or call mail-provider APIs.
Render branded PDF/Markdown artifacts.	Replace proposal, contract, invoice, delivery, customer-success, or proof artifacts.
Use verified facts from other skills as context.	Invent client proof, recipient authority, metrics, legal claims, or regulated-use assurances.
Keep messages review-ready and scoped.	Approve external sending or bypass recipient/routing verification.

Core Workflow

Step	Action
1	Identify the stage: cold outreach, warm intro, follow-up, booked meeting, discovery recap, proposal, close, post-sale, retention, referral, or reactivation.
2	Gather only the facts needed for that stage.
3	Use references/positioning.md for service promise, risk controls, and language to avoid.
4	Use references/email-catalog.md for template selection, multi-step sequences, or near-exhaustive libraries.
5	Use references/sequence-blueprints.md for outreach and sales cadence design.
6	Draft in the requested voice, or default to concise, plain, consultative, and specific.
7	Include subject lines when useful and avoid unsupported claims.

Needed Fact	Examples
Buyer context	Name, company, role, industry.
Trigger	Observed change, operational pain, buying signal, or business problem.
Workflow	Agentic workflow being pitched or supported.
Message inputs	Proof, constraints, offer, CTA, timing, and tone.

Email Selection Guide

Choose by current decision point first, then by buyer persona, then by trigger.

Decision Point	Templates
Cold outbound	cold-problem-pilot, cold-operations-bottleneck, cold-technical-evaluation, cold-executive-risk, cold-revenue-team, cold-support-team, cold-ops-knowledge, cold-founders
Cold follow-up	followup-workflow-map, followup-risk-controls, followup-example, followup-proofless-value, followup-breakthrough-question, breakup-close-loop
Warm or inbound	warm-intro-context, warm-intro-workflow, inbound-fast-response, inbound-qualification, inbound-booking
Discovery and proposal	discovery-confirm-agenda, post-discovery-recap, proposal-preview, proposal-sent, proposal-followup-questions
Closing and objections	close-objection-budget, close-objection-risk, close-objection-timing, close-objection-internal-team, close-decision-summary, close-final-nudge
Contract and payment	contract-sent, contract-clarifications, deposit-invoice, signature-reminder
Kickoff and delivery	kickoff-after-signature, kickoff-agenda, access-request, weekly-update, review-ready, acceptance-request, handoff-complete
Expansion and proof	expansion-next-workflow, referral-request, testimonial-request, quarterly-checkin, winback-new-trigger
Trigger and nurture	trigger-hiring, trigger-new-tool, trigger-growth, nurture-educational, nurture-one-page-offer, reengage-old-opportunity

Selection Rule	Guidance
Buyer has not agreed to a problem	Stay in cold, follow-up, warm intro, inbound, or discovery.
Buyer has agreed to scoped work	Move to proposal, closing, contract, or payment.
Project is signed	Use kickoff, delivery, acceptance, handoff, support, or expansion.
Several templates fit	Pick the one closest to the buyer's current decision point.

Quality Rules

Rule	Requirement
Length	Keep cold emails under 120 words unless the user asks for long-form.
Opening	Lead with a concrete operational problem, not generic AI excitement.
Positioning	Present agentic development as workflow design, implementation, evaluation, monitoring, and human approval gates.
CTA	Use one clear CTA per email.
Follow-ups	Add a new angle, artifact, risk reducer, example workflow, or decision prompt.
Cold outbound	Include a polite opt-out line when appropriate.
High-risk sectors	Emphasize review, approvals, logs, and scoped pilots; do not imply autonomous production decisions.

Resource Guide

Resource	Role
references/positioning.md	Offer framing, buyer pains, differentiators, proof rules, and compliance guardrails.
references/use-case-decision-table.md	Template selection for a specific use case.
references/sequence-blueprints.md	Recommended cadences across cold outbound, warm outbound, inbound, proposal, closing, and post-sale.
references/email-catalog.md	Near-exhaustive template library by stage.
references/template-index.json	Machine-readable template metadata used by the renderer.
scripts/render_email.py	Lists templates or renders a draft with placeholders.

Runtime Permissions

Area	Runtime behavior
Execution	Runs local Python entry points: scripts/render_email.py and scripts/render_pdf.py.
Reads	Bundled templates, references, examples, assets/logo.png, and user-provided Markdown or email variables.
Writes	Only user-selected --out, --png, --markdown-out, or default output/ artifact paths.
Network	Not required and not used for email drafting or document rendering.

Not Included	Boundary
Email delivery	Does not send email, contact prospects, call mail-provider APIs, add tracking pixels, or approve outreach.
Credentials	Does not read mail credentials, API keys, browser sessions, or CRM tokens.
System changes	Does not create persistence, escalate privileges, run background services, or perform destructive file operations.

Renderer

Use the renderer for repeatable output or quick template discovery:

bash

python3 scripts/render_email.py --list
python3 scripts/render_email.py --template cold-problem-pilot --var prospect_name=Alex --var company=Acme --var workflow="support triage"

If a user needs polished, context-aware copy, use the references and rewrite the rendered draft rather than returning raw placeholders.

Rendering to a Branded PDF

Artifacts from this skill are delivered as branded CompleteTech LLC PDF documents. The email renderer can emit PDF, Markdown, and optional PNG preview in one local command:

bash

pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 scripts/render_email.py --template cold-operations-bottleneck \
  --out artifact.pdf --png artifact.png \
  --title "Outbound Email Sequence" --doc-type "EMAIL DRAFTS — VERIFY BEFORE SENDING" \
  --subtitle "Prospect: <b>Northwind Trading Co.</b>" --meta "SEQUENCE=PRO-OUT-014" --meta "STAGE=Cold outreach" \
  --var client_name="Client Name" --var workflow="support triage"

Output Need	Use
Branded PDF	--out artifact.pdf
PNG preview	--png artifact.png
Markdown source	--markdown-out artifact.md
Markdown only	--no-pdf
No cover page	--no-cover
Existing Markdown to PDF	python3 scripts/render_pdf.py --markdown artifact.md --out artifact.pdf --logo assets/logo.png --title "..."

Rendering Support	Details
Markdown subset	#, ##, ###, paragraphs, - bullets, tables, > callouts, **bold**, and [PAGE_BREAK].
Required package	reportlab==4.5.1 for PDF rendering.
Optional preview packages	pypdfium2==5.8.0 and pillow==12.2.0 for --png.
Example output	See assets/examples/ for rendered Markdown, PDF, and PNG artifacts.

Network Boundary

This skill is local-only. It does not include outbound network helpers, callbacks, mail-provider integrations, tracking pixels, or any helper that posts email run metadata to an external service.
