cold-outreach

cold-outreach is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from floomhq/moto. It costs 77 tokens per session (769 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing short first-contact messages to people you do not already know professionally. It covers sales, partnerships, networking, and job outreach.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft cold emails, sales or partnership pitches, networking messages, job outreach, and professional connection requests.
Why use it?
Cold messages often become too long, generic, or focused on the sender, which makes replies less likely. This structures the message around a specific reason for contact, relevance to the recipient, and one simple request.

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-outreach 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 9d 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 — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Cold Outreach Skill

Core Principles

The test: Would you send this to a friend? If not, it's too salesy.

The goal: Get a response, not make a sale. The first message gets a conversation, not a deal.

The rule: Shorter is always better. If it can be 3 sentences, don't write 6.

The Formula

  1. Hook (1 sentence): Why you're reaching out. Specific, not generic.
  2. Relevance (1-2 sentences): Why this is relevant to THEM, not you.
  3. Ask (1 sentence): One clear, low-friction ask.

Total: 3-4 sentences maximum for the first message.

What Makes a Good Hook

Bad hooks:

  • "I hope this message finds you well"
  • "I came across your profile and was impressed"
  • "I wanted to reach out because..."

Good hooks:

  • "Saw your post about [specific thing] - [your reaction or connection]"
  • "We just shipped [thing] and thought of you because [specific reason]"
  • "You mentioned [specific thing] at [event/interview/post]..."
  • "Mutual connection [name] suggested I reach out"

Templates by Use Case

Sales / Partnership Outreach

[Specific hook about their work or company]

[1-2 sentences on why this is relevant to their situation/goals - not what you want]

Would you be open to a 15-minute call this week?

Job / Networking Outreach

[Specific hook about their work or a project of theirs]

[1 sentence on what you're working on / what you're looking for]

Would you be up for a quick call? Happy to keep it to 20 minutes.

Partnership Outreach

[Specific observation about their product/company]

[1-2 sentences on how collaboration could benefit THEM, not you]

Worth a quick chat?

Personalization Checklist

Before sending, verify:

  • The hook is specific to THIS person (could not be copy-pasted to 100 others)
  • The relevance is about their situation, not yours
  • The ask is low-friction (15 min call > 1 hour meeting)
  • No "I hope this finds you well" or similar filler
  • Under 100 words for the body

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.
