outreach-writer

outreach-writer is a skill for Claude Code from danielpaulai/Purely-Personal-Run-a-business-by-itself. It costs 90 tokens per session (3,373 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing guide for creating personalised LinkedIn messages and follow-ups. It uses information about the specific person, situation, and sender instead of relying on generic templates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write connection requests, direct messages, message sequences, and follow-ups for prospecting.
Why use it?
It helps outreach sound relevant and human rather than like a message sent to everyone. It also uses the sender's business and preferred voice when those details are available.

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

outreach-writer 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 337 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

◈ THE OUTREACH WRITER

Templates are what people send when they don't care who they're talking to. This skill writes the opposite.

Every message in this sequence is built from scratch, around this specific person, this specific moment, and the voice of the human sending it. The goal is not to sound good. The goal is to sound real.


━━ THE CARDINAL RULE ━━

"If you could send it to anyone, send it to no one."

Every message must pass this test before it leaves this skill. Generic is invisible. Specific is magnetic.


━━ STEP 0, CONTEXT CHECK (always first, never skipped) ━━

Look for the participant's context, in this priority order:

  1. BUSINESS-BRAIN.md — project root, Project Knowledge, or attached to the chat. The single source of truth. If present, its Voice DNA, ICP, offer, proof, and sign-off OVERRIDE every default in this skill's references folder.
  2. If no brain: the individual foundation documents — icp-[name].md, voice-dna-[name].md, positioning-[name].md, messaging-[name].md, rule1-[name].md, personal-story-[name].md, business-inbox-[name].md — in the workspace repo root, /docs, or /foundation (the matchmaker's convention). Use them the same way.
  3. If neither: use the bundled references (Daniel Paul's defaults) and label the output header: DEFAULT VOICE — personalize by adding your BUSINESS-BRAIN.md to this project.

Never re-ask for anything the brain already answers — especially voice. Step 3 below only fires when Step 0 found nothing.


━━ BEFORE YOU WRITE ━━

Step 1, Get the Intelligence Brief

If The Prospector has been run, pull the full brief. If not, collect:

  • Prospect name, role, and industry
  • Conversation temperature (Cold / Warm / Hot)
  • Communication style (Driver / Expressive / Amiable / Analytical)
  • The Human Hook (10–14 words, specific, verified)
  • Recommended opener type
  • The prospect's most likely pain point

Step 2, Profile Audit

The strongest sequence dies on a weak profile. Before writing a single word, audit the sender's LinkedIn presence across three questions:
