Use this skill when you need to write a B2B cold email that gets replies: "write a cold email to a VP of Sales", "draft outreach for this prospect", "my cold emails get no replies". Builds the email from the prospect's situation, one pain, one proof point and one low-friction ask, keeps it under 100 words, and returns three variants with different angles plus subject lines. Works for one-to-one emails and for segment templates with personalization slots.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

Use this for the first email to someone who has never heard of you. It produces three short variants, each built on a different angle, so the sender can choose or test.

## Inputs

- Who: the prospect or segment, their role and company.
- Why now: a trigger or research hook, if any.
- What: the offer in one outcome sentence, plus approved proof (a customer, a number, a before and after).

## The play

### 1. Pick one problem
The email is about one problem the reader probably has. Not three benefits, not the product tour. If you cannot name the problem in the reader's words, go back to research.

### 2. Use the four-part frame
1. **Observation** (why them, why now): the trigger or a sharp role insight. One sentence.
2. **Problem**: what that situation usually causes. One or two sentences.
3. **Proof**: a peer who solved it, with a concrete result. One sentence.
4. **Ask**: low-friction, interest-based. "Worth a look?" beats "Do you have 30 minutes Tuesday at 2pm?"

Read [references/cold-email-frameworks.md](references/cold-email-frameworks.md) for alternative frames, annotated examples and the line-by-line edit checklist.

### 3. Write three angles

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add prosyo-ai/gtm-skill/cold-email-writer@sha256:1ec2bc8600c0f67b

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
