Write personalized cold emails that earn replies - research-based hooks, clear relevance, low-friction asks. Use for outbound prospecting messages.

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

# Cold Email Writer

A cold email earns a reply when it proves relevance in the first line and asks for something easy. Personalization is research, not {{first_name}}.

## When to use

- Outbound first-touch and sequence email copy
- LinkedIn note copy when asked (keep under platform limits)

## When not to use

- Warm intros where a full proposal is needed
- Spam blasts / purchased lists

## Anatomy (60-120 words)

1. **Subject** - 2-5 words, specific - no clickbait
2. **Line 1** - observation that proves homework (news, job post, project)
3. **Bridge** - observation → problem you solve (one sentence)
4. **Proof** - one relevant result with a real number you can defend
5. **Ask** - low friction question or 15-minute check - not a hard calendar CTA cold

## Personalization tiers

| Tier | Effort | Use for |
|------|--------|---------|
| Researched | 10-15 min | A-leads |
| Segmented | template + 2 min | B-leads |
| Generic blast | never | - |

## Workflow

1. Input: lead + `account-research` / `buying-signals` for A-leads.
2. Write 2 variants; cut to <120 words; check mobile (subject + first line).
3. Plan sequence with `outreach-sequencer`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add navinspire-ia/navin/cold-email-writer@sha256:397707d233fd5020

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260906.85504a9, 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.
