A tool for drafting a complete marketing email: subject-line options, preview text, body copy, one call to action, and a plain-text version. It matches the email with its destination page and approved claims.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write promotional or outbound emails, create subject and preview-text options, draft the message and call to action, and prepare a plain-text alternative.
Why use it?
It helps keep the email's promise consistent with the page recipients reach. It also separates writing the email from later scoring, testing, and deliverability checks.

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

email-creative-builder 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 1mo 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.

Email Creative Builder

Writes and iterates a single email creative — subject-line variants + preheader, body copy, one clear CTA, and a plain-text alternate — each message-matched to the destination landing page and traced to approved claim wording. This is the build skill that produces the SEND E/D unit (the email analog of paid's ad-creative-builder). It does not score the email, run the D1 veto, or compute the EQS — that is email-quality-auditor — and it does not design the multi-step flow (email-sequence-designer) or the test (send-experiment-designer).

Scope guard: this skill builds the creative unit + message-match + claim flags only. It drafts subject-line variants for the creative but does not pre-score or rank them (spam-trigger flags, length/truncation, emoji-count, inbox-preview render) — that is subject-line-lab. It scores no SEND dimension, runs no veto, and does not compute the profile-weighted EQS — email-quality-auditor owns all four vetoes (S1/S2/N1/D1) and the EQS rollup.

Quick Start

Write 5 subject lines + preheader + body + CTA for [offer], destination [URL], promo mode
Draft a cold-outbound email to [persona] for [offer]; personalize on [signal]; destination [URL]
Iterate these losing subject lines: [paste]. Keep the winners, replace the rest, hold message-match to [URL].

Skill Contract

Expected output: one content-complete email creative — 3-5 subject-line variants, a preheader, structured body copy, a single primary CTA, and a plain-text alternate — with a creative_ref / version / hash, a per-claim message-match note to the destination URL and any [needs source] flags, plus the standard handoff summary for memory/email/email-creative-builder/. Content-complete is not authorization to create or send through an ESP.

  • Reads: the offer/topic, destination, email mode, audience/lifecycle stage, existing copy, memory/projections/narrative.json, memory/projections/claims.json, and the live consent/suppression state required by the selected flow.
  • Writes: a user-facing email creative and, with permission, a WARM artifact; unresolved claims become authorized proposal events, never direct ledger edits.
  • Done when: subject/preheader fit declared render limits, the body has one primary CTA, plain text exists, claims/disclosures are accepted and context-valid or visibly blocked, destination message-match holds, the Narrative/claims dependency tuple is present, and the exact subject/preheader/body/CTA/plain-text set is frozen under a versioned creative hash.
  • Primary next skill: send-experiment-designer — design the A/B / send-time test across the subject variants; or email-quality-auditor to score the unit and run the D1 claim veto.

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.
