What is cold-email-kickoff?

A guided starting process for a new cold-email campaign, including the information, free offer, campaign ideas, and plan needed to begin.

Use it to check sending setup, define the target customer, brainstorm a lead magnet, create campaign ideas, and produce one campaign plan.

It gives first-time operators a clear order of work instead of making them choose from many separate skills.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00097	$0.01950
Opus 5.5	$0.00039	$0.00780
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00019	$0.00390
Haiku 4.5	$0.00010	$0.00195

Security

Grade A, and why

cold-email-kickoff 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 2mo 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 Email Kickoff

The single entry point for a fresh user. Replaces "stare at 29 skills and guess which to run first."

When to use

First-time cold email operator on this repo
New client/business being onboarded (fresh profiles/<slug>/ directory)
Experienced operator starting a new campaign for a new business
Anyone who asks "where do I start?"

What this skill produces

A populated profiles/<business-slug>/client-profile.yaml (from /icp-onboarding)
A profiles/<business-slug>/lead-magnets.md with the chosen free offer
A profiles/<business-slug>/campaign-strategy.md with 15-25 campaign ideas
A consolidated profiles/<business-slug>/campaign-plan.md — a single-page summary you can show stakeholders
An interactive menu pointing at the right next skill based on your infrastructure status

Flow

Step 1 (asked FIRST): Infrastructure status

Before touching any business context, ask:

"Do you already have sending domains + inboxes set up on Smartlead?" (yes / no / not sure)
"At least 20 inboxes that have been warming for 2+ weeks?" (yes / no)
"Do you have API keys for Smartlead + Prospeo + MillionVerifier in your .env?" (yes / partial / no)

These answers determine the next-step menu at Step 6. Save them as infrastructure_status in the profile.

Step 2: Load or create the business profile

Check for profiles/<business-slug>/client-profile.yaml:

Exists → load it. Ask: "Use this existing profile (answer: use) or start fresh (answer: new)?"
Doesn't exist → invoke /icp-onboarding. This scrapes the user's website first, then interviews them. Produces the profile.

Step 3: Ensure lead magnet is chosen

Check the loaded/created profile for a lead_magnet field:

Empty → invoke /lead-magnet-brainstorm. It asks 4 intake questions, scores 10 magnet archetypes, picks a top 2-3, updates the profile.
Already set → confirm with the user: "Using <chosen magnet> as your free offer. OK?" — if they want to change it, re-invoke /lead-magnet-brainstorm.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
