outbound-engine

outbound-engine is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from realjaymes/marketingagentskills. It costs 164 tokens per session (4,075 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A system for running cold-email campaigns from an enriched prospect list. Cold outbound means contacting potential customers who have not asked to hear from you; this system personalizes messages, prepares them, sends them through Smartlead, and handles replies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build email sequences, review them in an HTML preview, prepare sending lists, run campaigns, measure results, and process replies.
Why use it?
It separates finding and enriching prospects from campaign work, reducing the need to manage personalization, previews, sending setup, measurement, and reply filing by hand.

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

outbound-engine 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Outbound Engine

The campaign half of cold outbound. It takes the enriched, scored prospect list from prospect-scraper and runs it to booked calls: personalize → assemble the sequence → QA in the preview tool → warm the sending infrastructure → send through Smartlead → measure → file every reply and handle real prospects through to close.

prospect-scraper owns FIND, ENRICH, VERIFY, SCORE and signal detection. This skill owns PERSONALIZE, QA, WARMUP, SEND, MEASURE and reply filing. They meet at the common record schema.

When to use

  • Build or personalize a cold-email sequence ({{gap}}, signals, spintax, Liquid).
  • Build or regenerate the HTML preview and QA tool, the review surface.
  • Prepare a Smartlead-ready list and run or scale a campaign.
  • Check a live or completed campaign's replies, file them, or handle a prospect who replied.

Use a different skill for finding and enriching leads (prospect-scraper), standalone copy, or Clay-specific work.

Where things live

  • Runnable code (generators, the preview builder, verifiers) lives in a version-controlled repo.
  • Lead lists and the preview tool live in one local folder per campaign. The master *-leads.csv is Smartlead-ready, and the * Email Preview.html file is the review surface.
  • Your notes system (Obsidian, Notion, a docs folder) holds the logic: the offer, the {{gap}} logic, and the sequence templates with {{}} and spintax. It never holds individually filled emails. Once a campaign is live, it also holds the campaign's Replies file and each real prospect's own file (see Reply filing below), because those track decisions.
  • The preview tool shows the final rendered emails. You review there, not in the notes.
  • Flow: enriched list → {{gap}} and variant → master CSV → preview tool (QA) → export cleaned → Smartlead → run → file replies and handle prospects. Push to Smartlead when the batch reaches the campaign's target size.

Keep every note current. When a fact changes, rewrite the affected section in place instead of appending dated updates. A sequence template doc always shows only the current copy. The Replies file is the one designated log, with one row per reply.

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.
