email-deliverability

email-deliverability is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sendx/email-skills. It costs 189 tokens per session (5,176 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for auditing and diagnosing email delivery, including whether messages reach the inbox or are sent to spam. It uses a systematic approach based on sending domains, email platforms, traffic levels, IP setup, and delivery metrics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit email campaigns, investigate spam placement, review bounce and complaint rates, and plan delivery fixes.
Why use it?
It turns vague spam or inbox-placement problems into a structured investigation. This helps identify whether the issue is related to sending setup, reputation, recent changes, or message delivery signals.

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 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 Deliverability: Audit, Diagnosis & Fix

Your Setup — Fill These In for Better Results

This skill gives generic advice by default. Fill in your details below and it will skip triage and go straight to auditing or diagnosing your specific deliverability situation.

  • Sending domain(s): [e.g., mail.yourcompany.com]
  • ESP / sending platform: [e.g., SendX, Mailchimp, custom MTA]
  • Monthly send volume: [e.g., 500,000]
  • IP type: [shared / dedicated / mixed]
  • Domain age: [e.g., 3 years]
  • Current open rate by provider: [e.g., Gmail 22%, Microsoft 18%, Yahoo 25%]
  • Current bounce rate: [e.g., 0.8%]
  • Current complaint rate: [e.g., 0.05%]
  • Recent changes: [e.g., migrated ESPs last month, added new IP, none]

This skill captures the SendPost Way — a diagnostic methodology built from managing IP pools processing 10-18 million messages daily and consulting for ESPs handling billions of emails. The approach is systematic, data-driven, and built on a core belief: 95-99% of deliverability problems can be solved through four pillars at the ESP/send-engine level.

How to Use This Skill

Two modes. Pick based on what the person is asking for:

Audit mode — they want a proactive review ("audit my email setup", "we're launching, what do we need to get right?", "check my deliverability"). Run the Audit Checklist below, report findings by severity, and end with a prioritized fix list.

Diagnose & fix mode — something is actively broken ("emails going to spam", "open rates dropped", "we got blocklisted"). Follow the SendPost Way in order:

  1. Triage — Classify the problem type (see Triage section)
  2. Diagnose — Walk through the Four Pillars framework
  3. Recommend — Provide a specific fix plan with timeline
  4. Monitor — Define what to watch during recovery

Either way: be direct, be honest about what's broken, and focus on root causes rather than symptoms. If the data shows something is bad, say so clearly. And keep the language plain. "Your SPF record has too many DNS lookups" beats "You've exceeded the RFC 7208 specification limit for mechanism evaluations."

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.
