πŸ“– About This Skill


name: ai-cold-email-linkedin-generator description: > Generates high-reply-rate cold emails, LinkedIn DMs, follow-up sequences, and A/B test variants for B2B sales outreach. Use this skill whenever the user wants to write cold outreach, sales emails, LinkedIn messages, follow-up emails, prospecting copy, or any kind of outbound sales communication. Always trigger for any task involving outbound messaging, SDR/BDR workflows, lead generation copy, or sales prospecting β€” even when phrased casually, such as "help me reach out to leads", "write me a sales email", "draft a LinkedIn message", or "I need to contact prospects". license: MIT-0 user-invocable: true disable-model-invocation: false compatibility: - claude-sonnet-4-20250514 - claude-opus-4-20250514 - claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 argument-hint: > Provide: product/service description, target audience, pain points, your offer or CTA, sender name and role. Optionally include prospect name, prospect company, a personalization hook, preferred tone (friendly_professional / direct_confident / curious_consultative / casual_peer), and which outputs to generate (cold_email / linkedin_dm / followup_1 / followup_2 / ab_variants). metadata: category: Sales & Marketing subcategory: Outbound Sales version: 1.2.0 author: ClawHub Skill Publisher language: en tags: - cold-email - linkedin - outreach - sales - lead-generation - copywriting - follow-up - B2B - GTM - SDR

AI Cold Email & LinkedIn Outreach Generator

Generate complete B2B outreach sequences β€” personalized, human-sounding, and optimized for reply rate. No templates. No "hope this finds you well." Just copy that actually gets responses.


What This Skill Does

Given a product, audience, and context, this skill generates:

  • Cold Email β€” two subject line options + body copy under 120 words
  • LinkedIn DM β€” conversational message under 80 words
  • Follow-Up #1 β€” sent 3–5 days after initial outreach, adds new value
  • Follow-Up #2 β€” short final bump at day 7–10, leaves the door open
  • A/B Test Variants β€” two cold email versions with different angles
  • (pain-led vs. outcome/curiosity-led)

    All output sounds like a real human wrote it at 8am β€” not a robot.

    Example

    Input:

    Product: AI scheduling tool that auto-books meetings from email threads
    Audience: Chiefs of Staff at 200–1000 person companies
    Pain: 2–3 hours/day on scheduling back-and-forth
    Offer: 10-minute live demo on their real calendar
    Sender: Jordan Kim, Co-founder at ScheduleAI
    Prospect: Maria at Vercel
    Hook: Saw her LinkedIn post about async work last week
    Tone: Friendly & Professional
    Output: Cold Email + LinkedIn DM
    

    Cold Email:

    Subject Line A: the scheduling tax at vercel Subject Line B: 2 hours a day on calendar back-and-forth?

    Maria,

    Saw your post about async work last week β€” completely agree. One async killer that doesn't get enough attention: scheduling. The 6-email thread just to find a 30-min slot.

    We built ScheduleAI for that. It reads email threads and books meetings automatically β€” no back-and-forth, no links, no time zone math. Teams like yours are recovering 2–3 hours a week per person.

    Worth a 10-minute look? I can demo it on your actual calendar.

    Jordan Kim Co-founder, ScheduleAI


    LinkedIn DM:

    Maria β€” your post about async work resonated. Scheduling is the silent async killer most people don't fix.

    We built a tool that books meetings straight from email threads β€” zero back-and-forth. Teams are saving 2+ hours a week.

    Would it be useful to see a quick demo on your actual calendar?

    Limitations
