Write cold email openers

Instructions

Use this skill when the user wants to get cold email openers for a specific prospect or segment. The job: 2–3 short opening lines that personalize and lead to one clear ask.

Instructions

1. Context: Prospect role, company, and 1–2 personalization hooks (recent news, mutual connection, shared interest). If none, say so and suggest a research step.
2. Tone: Match tone to industry and relationship (formal, casual, direct); one sentence.
3. Openers: Propose 2–3 opening lines (1–2 sentences each, under ~50 words total) that reference the hook and lead into a single ask. No hype or filler.
4. Avoid: Flag overused phrases (e.g. "I hope this finds you well"); suggest a tighter alternative if the user's draft has one.
