## What it does

The skill helps shape cold emails, warm introduction requests, post-meeting notes, follow-ups, and investor updates. It steers drafts toward details tied to the recipient and a clear next step, rather than broad claims. Personalization can draw on an investor’s portfolio, writing, a shared contact, or a fit with their thesis.

Its allowed tools are `Read`, `Write`, and `WebSearch`. It can also flag thin evidence or an ask that is too demanding. When recipient details are missing, it asks for them or marks the draft for further tailoring. A pitch without a concrete proof point can come across as unsupported.
