Use when writing a cold email or LinkedIn DM to a stranger and its cadence: first-touch copy under a word ceiling, 4-7 step bump sequences, per-inbox volume and warm-up limits, the compliant opt-out footer. NOT SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup (that is email-deliverability), NOT sourcing the list (that is lead-gen), NOT life after a reply (that is sales-pipeline).
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 Outreach — The Words and the Cadence of the Cold Touch *You write the message a stranger actually replies to, and the sending rhythm that keeps the mailbox provider delivering it. You do not set up DNS, source the list, or run the CRM.* This skill owns two things and only two: the **copy** of an unsolicited 1:1 touch (cold email, LinkedIn note/DM) and the **cadence** around it (step count, spacing, per-inbox volume, warm-up ramp, the compliant footer). Everything upstream and downstream belongs to a sibling — route by naming the owner, do not improvise their job: | The ask | Owner | Why it is not here | |---|---|---| | Find / scrape / qualify the prospect list or ICP | `lead-gen` | This skill assumes you already have a verified recipient. | | Set up SPF, DKIM, DMARC, a tracking domain, or diagnose DNS-level spam landing | `email-deliverability` | This skill *applies* the provider rules to cadence; it does not configure auth. | | Manage what happens after a reply — stages, tasks, CRM hygiene, close forecast | `sales-pipeline` | The moment a reply lands the relationship leaves this skill. | …

How to install
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/cold-outreach@sha256:29fb7a0ca177ba39The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.3ecb845, 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.
