draft-outreach

Invoke writer in draft-outreach mode.

Invocation

• Use the exact agent name writer. Retry once with the same name if invocation fails.

Workflow

Application data uses the split layout defined in references/tracker-schema.md — read it before any read or write.

1. Prior communication history (enrichment — default for named recipients): Outreach to a specific person or known contact at a company should be grounded in real mail/calendar context when the host allows—not guesswork.

   1. If a ContactContextBrief is already in chat → use it as-is (full block to writer).
   2. Else if Gmail/M365 inbox and/or calendar tools appear in this session → run contact-context end-to-end before invoking writer, unless the user explicitly says to skip history (“no prior thread,” “brand-new contact,” “template only”) or the ask is purely generic with no named recipient yet. Do not invent threads.
   3. Else (no mail/calendar tools in session) → still invoke writer, but pass a single line: Prior communication: not retrieved — inbox/calendar tools not available in this session; do not imply prior email or meetings.

   If the user says they sent mail but the address was wrong or search is empty, follow contact-context “User said they sent”; email_address_notes carries address candidates. Include calendar_notes, upcoming_meetings, and warm_networking in the handoff when present—if upcoming_meetings is non-empty, outreach should not read as a cold first touch.

2. Read {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/profile.md and {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/voice-profile.md (create stub if missing).

3. Voice preflight: If voice-profile.md has no user-pasted block under ## User writing samples or ## User writing samples (launch) (substantive excerpts), ask before invoking writer: paste 2–5 LinkedIn posts or short professional writing; mention optional launch voice harvest (résumé/CV/cover text from disk); user may reply skip (low voice match). If they paste, append a dated ## User writing samples section. If samples already exist, skip this ask.

4. From conversation, capture: channel, recipient archetype (title/company if known), objective (info chat, referral check-in, post-event ping), and any StrategistHandoff, ContactContextBrief, or facts the user pasted.

5. Pass a structured brief to writer in draft-outreach mode. Required: include the full ## ContactContextBrief markdown block when available, or the Prior communication: fallback from step 0. writer must thread summary, open_loops, hooks_for_writer, calendar_notes, upcoming_meetings, and warm_networking into the draft when present—see agents/writer/AGENT.md. Do not draft final copy in this skill—delegate.

6. Present writer output (variants if offered). Remind: connectors support warm threading when available.

7. Sent confirmation + auto-track: After presenting the copy, say:

   "Let me know when you've sent this and I'll log it to your tracker."
