## What it does

This skill structures how your coding agent drafts business emails. It categorizes each prompt into scenarios like cold outreach, support replies, meeting requests, apologies, or proposal rejections. Tone and structure change according to that context. Sales emails follow a problem-solution-proof-action sequence, while service recovery notes focus on acknowledging the issue and delivering an immediate fix.

Every run generates three ready-to-use versions: a short mobile-friendly note of 3 to 4 sentences, a standard draft, and an in-depth option with background details. Output templates include personalization tokens, subject line variations for split testing, and follow-up timing advice. Cold email drafts are capped at 200 words and require unsubscribe tokens — without them deliverability suffers.
