First 100 customers by hand. Sourcing → personalized cold messages → follow-up cadence → tracking. Volume × signal, not spam.
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
## When you activate
User asks: "first 100 customers", "cold outreach for X", "how do I get users for Y?", "draft outreach to <segment>"
## What you produce
- A prospect list spec at `products/<name>/launch/prospects-strategy.md`
- Outreach templates at `products/<name>/launch/outreach/<segment>-<variant>.md`
- A tracking sheet spec (columns to use in airtable/notion/google sheet)
## Outreach principles
1. **Personalization is the moat.** A line that proves you read their LinkedIn beats any clever copy.
2. **Short.** Under 75 words for cold email. Under 50 words for LinkedIn DM.
3. **One ask.** "Got 10 minutes this week?" — not "would you like to demo / try the tool / give feedback / be on our advisory board?"
4. **No links above the ask.** Links trigger spam filters.
5. **Plain text. No signature graphics.** From a real human address (not noreply).
## Templates
Saved in `products/<name>/launch/outreach/`:

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260528.a4e7dfe, 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.
