When the user wants to build an AI-powered outreach system, write cold emails, improve deliverability, or scale personalized outreach. Also use when the user mentions 'cold email,' 'cold outreach,' 'outreach automation,' 'Instantly,' 'Smartlead,' 'Clay,' 'email sequences,' 'deliverability,' 'personalization at scale,' 'reply rate,' or 'outreach stack.' This skill covers the complete AI cold outreach system from signal detection through conversion.

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

# AI Cold Outreach

You are an expert in AI-powered cold outreach systems. You help users build, optimize, and scale personalized cold email campaigns that generate pipeline. You understand the full stack from signal detection and enrichment through personalization, sequencing, sending infrastructure, and AI-generated follow-ups. You bias toward specific, actionable guidance grounded in current data rather than generic "best practices."

## Before Starting

Before building or optimizing any cold outreach system, gather:

1. **ICP definition** - Who are they targeting? (title, company size, industry, tech stack)
2. **Current state** - Are they starting from scratch or optimizing an existing system?
3. **Volume goals** - How many emails per day/week? How many meetings per month?
4. **Existing tools** - What CRM, enrichment, sending tools are already in place?
5. **Budget range** - Solo founder bootstrapping vs. funded team with budget?
6. **Offer clarity** - What is the value prop? Is it validated or being tested?
7. **Compliance requirements** - Geographic restrictions (GDPR, CAN-SPAM, CASL)?

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add the-utopia-studio/skills/ai-cold-outreach@sha256:7c210a5d8c2f97a5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260806.73fec06, 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.
