inbox-warm-up-ramp

inbox-warm-up-ramp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from swan-gtm/gtm-skills. It costs 79 tokens per session (837 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An outreach-mailbox ramping guide that sets a daily sending limit for each new inbox and raises it over time when delivery signals stay healthy.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan cold-email volume for new mailboxes, domains, or team members, and to decide when sending should pause or increase.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of sending too much too soon, which can trigger spam filters, complaints, and poor delivery. It also explains why a mailbox may have a low limit today.

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

inbox-warm-up-ramp 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 9d 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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

A new mailbox at full volume is a spam complaint with a countdown. This sets the ceiling, per inbox, and the conditions to raise it.

The play

  1. Ramp by the age of the inbox, not the age of the campaign. Week one at a handful of sends a day; roughly double each week; reach full volume at about four weeks. Every seat runs its own clock — a new person joining a mature team starts at week one.
  2. Get volume from more inboxes, never from one working harder. Two or three mailboxes on a domain, more domains when you need more volume. A single inbox pushed past its ceiling is the failure everyone repeats.
  3. Send inside the recipient's working hours, on working days. Mail arriving at 3am local time reads as automation to a person and to a filter.
  4. Keep the first touch plain. No links, no images, no tracking pixel, no attachment. Add them once a thread has a human in it.
  5. Watch the three numbers that end a ramp: hard bounces (stop and clean the list well before 3%), spam complaints (any is a lot), and the share of sends that reach zero engagement over a week. A ramp is paused by evidence, not by feel.
  6. Never warm up on the account you cannot lose. If cold volume must grow, put it on a separate sending domain and keep the primary one for real conversation.
  7. Tell the user why the cap is low, in their words. A silent limit reads as a broken tool, and the person will raise it blindly to make the silence stop. Say the number, say the schedule, and if you offer a skip, spell out what it risks before they choose it.

What good looks like

  • The tell: reputation is per sending identity, and it is earned by behaviour that looks like a person's — modest volume, replies coming back, activity inside a working day. Volume without replies is the pattern filters are built to catch, which is why the ramp exists at all and why a sequence that gets answers can climb faster than one that does not.
  • The mediocre version warms up by mailing seed accounts in a warming network and calls the inbox ready on day three. The metric moves; the reputation does not. Nothing detectable happens until real volume starts landing in spam, and by then the domain is spent.
  • You know the output is good when raising the cap changes nothing except the count — same bounce rate, same complaint rate, same reply rate. If replies fall as volume rises, the ceiling was already correct.

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.
