deliverability-incident-response

deliverability-incident-response is a skill for Claude Code from AlexisMarasigan/coldoutboundskills. It costs 83 tokens per session (2,308 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of deliverability-incident-response, MIT.

A troubleshooting playbook for cold-email delivery problems, such as messages going to spam, high bounce rates, blacklisted domains, blocked warm-up inboxes, or falling replies. It uses a decision tree to connect each symptom with checks and possible fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to diagnose spam placement, bounce spikes, blacklisting, warm-up blocks, promotional filtering, and sudden reply-rate drops. It helps decide what to measure first and what corrective action to try.
Why use it?
It gives a clear first response when email performance suddenly changes instead of encouraging random changes. The guidance helps separate list problems, domain reputation issues, infrastructure problems, and message-content issues.

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

deliverability-incident-response 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 12d 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.

Deliverability Incident Response

Things break. When they do, you need a playbook — not panic. This skill is the triage decision tree.

The five incident types

Symptom Most likely cause First action Fix time
Reply rate dropped sharply Deliverability — emails in spam Run spam placement test 1-14 days
Bounce rate spiked >3% Bad list OR domain reputation Check bounce types 1-3 days
Domain blacklisted Shared IP bad actor OR your domain got flagged Check blacklists, rotate if needed 7-30 days
Inbox blocked in warmup Warmup network flagged sending patterns Pause, investigate, maybe replace 1-7 days
Gmail marking as promotional Content triggers (links, images, HTML) Simplify content 1-3 days

Decision tree: "my reply rate dropped"

Step 1: Quantify the drop

Was this week's reply rate < 50% of last 4 weeks' average?
  Yes → real drop, continue triage
  No  → noise, wait another week

If drop is real:

Step 2: Is it campaign-specific or fleet-wide?

Are ALL campaigns dropping, or just one?
  All → fleet-level issue (infrastructure or copy pattern)
  One → campaign-specific (targeting, copy, list)

Step 3: Fleet-wide drop — check these in order

  1. Smartlead Smart Delivery spam test (/email-deliverability-auditrun-spam-test.ts)

    • If inbox placement <70% → real deliverability issue, skip to Step 4
    • If inbox placement >85% → deliverability is fine, look at copy/targeting instead
  2. Check domain authentication (/email-deliverability-auditcheck-domain-auth.ts)

    • Missing DKIM on any domain → fix immediately (see /zapmail-domain-setup-public for reconnect steps)
    • DMARC policy=reject with alignment failures → temporarily lower to quarantine
  3. Check warmup status (/smartlead-inbox-managerlist-health.ts)

    • If multiple inboxes blocked in warmup → warmup network flagged you
    • If reputation dropped "good" → "fair" on many inboxes → slow down sending volume

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.
