cold-email
When the user wants to write, improve, or build a sequence of B2B cold outreach emails to prospects who haven't asked to hear from them. Use when the user mentions 'cold email,' 'cold outreach,' 'prospecting emails,' 'SDR emails,' 'sales emails,' 'first touch email,' 'follow-up sequence,' or 'email prospecting.' Also use when they share an email draft that sounds too sales-y and needs to be humanized. Distinct from email-sequence (lifecycle/nurture to opted-in subscribers) — this is unsolicited outreach to new prospects. NOT for lifecycle emails, newsletters, or drip campaigns (use email-sequence).
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/alirezarezvani/cs-cold-emailWhat This Skill Does
The Cold Email skill is designed to transform B2B prospecting from a robotic, marketing-heavy exercise into a genuine, peer-to-peer communication effort. It acts as a specialized assistant for writing, iterating on, and strategizing cold outreach sequences that are designed to earn replies rather than just deliver impressions. By analyzing your ICP (Ideal Customer Profile), specific trigger events, and your unique value proposition, the skill helps you draft emails that bypass common 'salesy' tropes.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, run the following command in your OpenClaw terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/alirezarezvani/cs-cold-email
Ensure you have the latest version of the ClawHub CLI to handle the repository sync correctly.
Use Cases
- Drafting high-conversion first-touch emails for new lead lists.
- Creating multi-touch follow-up sequences (4-6 emails) with distinct, non-repetitive angles.
- Polishing existing, low-performing email drafts that sound too much like vendor marketing.
- Diagnosing sequence performance issues based on open vs. reply rate metrics.
- Customizing outreach based on specific triggers like new funding rounds, hiring surges, or recent company news.
Example Prompts
- 'I'm a founder selling a project management tool to SaaS CTOs. Can you write a 4-email sequence focusing on the pain point of technical debt, with a 3-day follow-up cadence?'
- 'Here is my current cold email draft: [paste text]. It feels too salesy and my open rate is only 12%. Can you rewrite this to sound more like a direct, personal outreach to a peer?'
- 'We just identified 50 prospects who recently switched to Salesforce. Write a personalized first-touch email that mentions this switch and offers a 15-minute audit of their integration setup.'
Tips & Limitations
- Context is King: Always provide the skill with background on your role and the prospect's pain points. If a
marketing-context.mdfile exists, the skill will leverage it for brand consistency. - Focus on the Human Element: Avoid jargon and corporate speak. If you wouldn't say it in a LinkedIn DM or a casual business email to a contact, don't use it in your cold outreach.
- Measurement: Use this tool to iterate. If you have data, share it with the agent; it can diagnose whether your issue is a poor subject line (low open rate) or a weak value proposition (opens but no replies).
- Distinct Roles: Remember that this tool is strictly for unsolicited outreach. Use the
email-sequenceskill for nurture campaigns or existing subscribers.
