Guidance on structuring, formatting, and designing B2B marketing emails for readability, deliverability, and engagement — trigger when a user is building or reviewing an email template, newsletter, or campaign layout.
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
# Email Design and Layout ## Overview This skill covers structural and visual best practices for B2B marketing emails, including text formatting, link management, CTA placement, file size constraints, and emerging considerations like AI inbox summaries. All practices are sourced exclusively from Exit Five podcast guests across 6 episodes. No general marketing knowledge has been added — gaps in coverage are intentional. --- ## Text Formatting and Readability **Keep every text block to 3–4 lines maximum.** This is one of the most consistently reinforced practices across multiple guests. Blocks of 5 or more lines trigger subconscious avoidance — readers immediately tune out, similar to how they react to long text messages. This applies even when the overall email is long; visual formatting matters more than total length. Break content into shorter blocks using bullet points, different colors, or visual dividers to maintain engagement. On mobile, two-line desktop text can become five lines, so err on the shorter side.

How to install
mdr add the-nam-shub/e5-real-skills/email-design-and-layout@sha256:a9c6d36858c3f8e3The line at the top of this page pins the label v2026-04-20, 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.
