cold email sequence lite

Generate a minimal 2-touch cold outreach skeleton (opener + polite breakup) from an ICP + pain points input — subject-line options, skeleton copy, CTA, and spam-trigger/subject-length checks. Use when the user asks to write cold outreach or a simple drip email.

scripts/sequence.mjs turns a structured brief into a 2-touch skeleton (day 0 opener, day 7 breakup). You write the final copy — skeletons encode structure, not finished prose.

Rules

• Cold outreach only to the user's own leads/prospects. No mass unsolicited spam — always include the graceful exit (touch 2 is a breakup).
• Keep subjects under ~60 chars and lowercase-casual.
• Personalization tokens {{firstName}}, {{company}} stay literal — the sending tool fills them.
• Every touch ends with ONE CTA.

1. Run

Requires Node 18+, zero dependencies. Fully offline.

bash

node <skill-dir>/scripts/sequence.mjs brief.json

Brief: {product, icp, painPoints[], cta, senderName, company} — product and icp required. Exit 1 when required fields are missing or warnings exist.

2. Read the report

• sequence[]: per-touch day, goal, subjectOptions[], skeleton.
• checks[]: pass/fail/warn on brief completeness.
• warnings[]: overlong subjects, spam words, missing personalization.

3. Write the final emails

1. Expand each skeleton to 3-5 sentences — plain text, no HTML.
2. Touch 1: pain + one-line relevance + question CTA. Touch 2: breakup with door open.
3. Resolve {{painPoint}} placeholders with the user before delivery.

Lite vs full

The full cold-email-sequence builds the standard 4-touch cadence (days 0/3/7/14: opener → proof bump → reframe → breakup) with proof-point and tone handling.
