email-deliverability-audit

email-deliverability-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from growthenginenowoslawski/coldoutboundskills. It costs 101 tokens per session (3,588 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A diagnostic report for an active cold-email program. It checks domain email authentication records, inbox reputation and health, sending volume, replies, bounces, and optionally whether messages reach the inbox or spam folder.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, review Smartlead inbox and campaign data, compare bounce and reply rates, run an optional spam-placement test, and produce a Markdown report and CSV.
Why use it?
It helps explain falling reply rates by checking whether emails are being delivered properly and identifying problem domains or inboxes.

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-deliverability-audit 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/audit-inboxes.ts, scripts/audit-performance.ts, scripts/check-domain-auth.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Deliverability Audit

If your positive reply rate is dropping and you don't know why, start here. Most of the time the problem is deliverability — your emails aren't reaching inboxes. This skill tells you what's broken.

What it checks

Layer What How
DNS auth SPF, DKIM, DMARC present on each sending domain dig commands
Inbox health Warmup status, reputation, blocks, connection failures Smartlead email-accounts API
Volume health Daily sent trending, capacity utilization Smartlead analytics
Send + reply rate per inbox Sent count, reply count, reply rate % over lookback period Smartlead campaign analytics
Bounce rate Per-inbox and per-domain bounce rate over last 30 days Smartlead campaign analytics
Spam placement Real inbox-vs-spam test via Smartlead Smart Delivery optional

The 1% rule — and the floors that gate it

A healthy domain replies at 1% or better after 200 emails sent. Below 1% on a fair sample, something is broken, and if it stays broken the domain gets cancelled.

The 1% rule is one number: the same 1% that flags a domain here is the line that retires it in /inbox-lifecycle-manager. What separates "flag" from "cancel" is not a softer second threshold — it is the floors. Below a floor, the answer is "we don't know yet", which is a legitimate output rather than a failure.

Judgment Floor before it counts
Reply rate 200 sends in the window
Bounce rate 50 sends
Bounce composition (which bucket) 30 classified bounces for that domain
Any cancel decision 30 days of domain age; unknown age counts as young
Placement test 100-300 senders per test

Reporting 0.00% reply on 14 sends as a failure, or condemning a three-week-old domain that has not finished ramping, is how healthy domains get killed.

Reply rate (≥200 sends) Reading
≥ 1.5% Genuinely good. Leave it alone.
1.0 - 1.5% Healthy. The rule passes.
< 1.0% Burned. Hand to /inbox-lifecycle-manager — but only if it also clears the 200-send and 30-day floors.
0 replies on ≥150 sends Decisive. A flat zero needs less sample than a low-but-nonzero rate.

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.
