email-writer

email-writer is a skill for Claude Code from hamzafarooq/claude-code-starter. It costs 42 tokens per session (278 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for writing targeted emails, including launch announcements, follow-ups, re-engagement messages, and cold outreach. It first gathers the email type, audience, goal, and relationship context, then structures the message with subject options and one call to action.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft customer, lead, student, or audience emails, compare subject lines, shape the body, choose one next step, and review risks in the wording.
Why use it?
It helps turn an unclear email request into a focused message for a specific reader. It also checks whether the opening, purpose, and next step are clear.

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-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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Ask the user:

  1. "What type of email? (launch / follow-up / re-engagement / cold outreach / other)"
  2. "Who is the recipient and what do you want them to do after reading?"
  3. "Any context about your relationship with them or what they already know?"

Then write the email:


Subject line: [3 options — one curiosity-driven, one direct, one benefit-led]

Email body:

[Opening line that earns the read — specific, not generic]

[2–3 short paragraphs. Each one should advance the reader toward the CTA.]

[One clear CTA — a single link, reply request, or next step. Never two CTAs.]

[Sign-off appropriate to the relationship]


Notes on this email:

  • What's working: [2 things]
  • What to watch: [1 risk — e.g. "the opening assumes they remember you, which may not be true"]

Subject line recommendation: [Which of the 3 to use and why]


Ask: "Want a follow-up version in case they don't reply, or a shorter version for mobile?"

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.
