cold-outreach-hunter

What This Skill Does

The cold-outreach-hunter is a sophisticated meta-skill designed to orchestrate the entire lifecycle of B2B lead generation and cold outreach. Rather than performing a single isolated task, it acts as a central control plane for your sales stack, chaining together Apollo API for lead discovery, LinkedIn API for social context, YC-style copywriting strategies, and the MachFive Cold Email engine for execution.

By leveraging this skill, you move from vague lead requirements to execution-ready campaigns. It enforces strict safety gates, ensuring that data is enriched, campaigns are validated against your specific offer, and outreach sequences adhere to your tone constraints before any message is sent. It essentially eliminates the manual labor involved in synchronizing multiple disparate tools.

Installation

To install the necessary components, use the following commands in your terminal via ClawHub:

npx -y clawhub@latest install apollo-api
npx -y clawhub@latest install linkedin-api
npx -y clawhub@latest install yc-cold-outreach
npx -y clawhub@latest install cold-email
npx -y clawhub@latest update --all

Verify that all installations were successful by running npx -y clawhub@latest list. Ensure your environment variables MATON_API_KEY and MACHFIVE_API_KEY are properly exported before initiating any orchestration.

Use Cases

• Targeted Lead Sourcing: Quickly build lists of specific decision-makers (e.g., CTOs in the Berlin SaaS sector) based on live industry data.
• Personalized Sequence Generation: Transition from raw contact data to high-response, non-salesy emails that utilize specific proof points and company-relevant context.
• Automated Workflow Orchestration: Standardize the outreach process across your team by using a single prompt to drive discovery, enrichment, and delivery.

Example Prompts

1. "Run a cold-outreach-hunter campaign for 50 leads in the London Fintech space. Target Founders. My offer is an AI-powered compliance audit. Keep the tone very casual and short, under 100 words."
2. "I need to reach 30 CMOs in the US healthcare tech sector. Use these case studies [Link] as proof points. Execute in draft-only mode so I can review the sequences before sending."
3. "Orchestrate a new campaign targeting VP of Sales at Series B SaaS companies. Location: Global. Goal: Book a 15-minute demo. Ensure we highlight our recent G2 recognition."

Tips & Limitations

• Data Integrity: Always run the preflight credential checks before starting. The skill is only as effective as the freshness of your Apollo data; ensure your filters are granular.
• Safety: Use the draft-only execution mode for your first few runs to verify that the generated tone matches your brand voice.
• Orchestration: This skill is an aggregator. If an upstream skill like apollo-api fails due to rate limits or API key expiration, the cold-outreach-hunter will gracefully pause to prevent fragmented lead data.
