cold-outbound-sequencer

cold-outbound-sequencer is a skill for Claude Code from aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills. It costs 172 tokens per session (3,359 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A planner for business-to-business cold email campaigns, including message steps, reply branches, sending warm-up, daily limits, and compliance guidance. Cold outbound means contacting potential customers who have not asked to hear from you.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design multi-step outbound sequences, route positive or negative replies, plan domain and mailbox warm-up, set sending throttles, and document CAN-SPAM or opt-in considerations.
Why use it?
It organizes what should happen after different replies and helps plan sending limits for new domains or mailboxes. It also identifies consent and anti-spam rules that should be checked with legal counsel.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cold-outbound-sequencer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Cold Outbound Sequencer

Designs a B2B cold-outbound program: the multi-step sequence with reply-triage branching, the domain/mailbox warmup ramp and per-mailbox send throttle that keep it out of spam, and the CAN-SPAM / opt-in jurisdiction guardrails it must obey. It maps each step's timing and exit rule, routes every reply type to a branch, sets a ramp schedule that protects sender reputation, and states the compliance guardrails as guidance the user must confirm with counsel. It reads the SEND S (Sender-integrity / Deliverability) lever for outbound but does not compute the final EQS, does not own the consent record, and does not give legal advice.

Quick Start

Build a 5-step cold-outbound sequence for [ICP] from [sending domain/mailbox]. Here is my target list source and its jurisdiction mix: [paste/path].
Design reply-triage branching for my outbound: route positive / objection / referral / not-now / opt-out to the right next action.
I have 3 new sending mailboxes on a fresh domain. Plan a warmup ramp and a per-mailbox daily send throttle before I start the sequence.

Skill Contract

Expected output: a cold-outbound sequence map (per-step timing, goal, exit conditions), a reply-triage branch table routing every reply type, a warmup + send-throttle ramp schedule (per-mailbox daily volume by week), a jurisdiction guardrail block (CAN-SPAM required elements, opt-in-jurisdiction flags — labeled guidance, not legal advice), a SEND S-dimension read with sub-item notes and the Cold-outbound typed profile named, and the standard handoff summary.

  • Reads: the sequence goal or ICP, the sending-domain/mailbox setup (how many mailboxes, domain age, current warmup state), the target list source and its jurisdiction mix, current bounce/spam-complaint signals from a ~~email platform sending report when available, and the SEND cold-outbound profile (S=.35 E=.25 N=.15 D=.25) from send-benchmark.md.
  • Writes: a user-facing sequence map + warmup/throttle schedule + guardrail block, and a reusable handoff summary to memory/email/cold-outbound-sequencer/YYYY-MM-DD-<sequence-or-icp>.md.
  • Promotes: chosen sequence structure, warmup/throttle schedule, the jurisdictions in scope, the S-dimension read, and missing exports/consent-basis gaps to memory/hot-cache.md and memory/open-loops.md; propose durable outbound-cadence or list-source decisions as pending-decision items — never write decisions.md directly.
  • Done when: every sequence step has timing, a goal, and an explicit exit rule; reply-triage routes positive / objection / referral / not-now / opt-out; a per-mailbox warmup ramp and daily send throttle are specified; the CAN-SPAM required elements and any opt-in-jurisdiction flags are stated as guidance with a "confirm with counsel" caveat; and the SEND S read is emitted with the Cold-outbound typed profile named.
  • Primary next skill: consent-registry to record the lawful basis for each list source (the S2 input), or email-quality-auditor to score the program and enforce S1/S2/N1/D1.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
