In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after writing cold-email copy and before finalizing the sequence. It helps evaluate emails, suggest revisions, and prepare the reviewed email file.

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-review 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 11d 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.

Email Review Skill

Review email copy against critical copy rules, QA checklists, and client preferences. Output a scored review and, if quality is sufficient, produce emails_v2.md as the final reviewed version.

Execution Tasks

Execute these tasks in order. Do NOT skip any task unless noted.

Task 1: Load Context

  • Read {segment_folder}/emails.md - The email copy to review
  • Read {segment_folder}/strategy.md - Campaign strategy and goals
  • Read {workspace}/research.md - ICP, value proposition, messaging themes, product info, case studies ({workspace} = the client campaign workspace folder (the orchestrator passes this path))
  • Read {workspace}/notes.md (if exists) - Client-specific preferences (HIGHEST PRIORITY)

Task 2: Load Review Reference Material

  • Read qa.md from this skill folder - QA checklists and scoring criteria
  • Read extra_info.md from this skill folder - Exercises, tips, common mistakes
  • Read ../email-copywriting/references/gold-standard.md - the 9/10 bar the copy is scored against
  • Read ../email-copywriting/references/spam-words.md - tiered spam-word policy (NEVER/HIGH/MEDIUM + budget rule)
  • Read ../email-copywriting/references/sound-human.md - AI-tell lexicon/structures and the Voice Card spec
  • Find the ICP Voice Card in the ## Notes section of emails.md - FLAG its absence as a violation

Task 3: Review Against Critical Copy Rules Checklist

MANDATORY: Check EVERY email against these non-negotiable rules.

Transitions & Flow (CRITICAL - top failure mode)
  • No abrupt transitions from {{First Line}} to body - personalized opening flows naturally into next sentence
  • FLAG any email where the static body's first sentence ignores the personalized line and jumps into a generic statement (e.g. straight into "Scaling a SaaS company..."). The body's opening must read as the next beat of the {{First Line}}, not a topic change.
  • Transitional context provided or first line topic connects to body

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.
