Outreach Message Skill
Cold outreach fails when it's long, generic, and all about the sender. The ones that get replies are short, specific to the recipient, and ask for one easy thing. This skill writes that — a message tuned to who you're contacting and what you want (a referral, a chat, a recruiter intro), with a hook that proves you didn't blast it to 200 people.
Required Inputs
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
- Who you're messaging — name, role, and your relationship (cold, 2nd-degree, alum, met-once).
- The ask — referral, intro, coffee chat / advice, recruiter follow-up, or reconnect.
- The context — the role/company you're targeting, and a genuine, specific reason you're reaching out to them.
- Your background — one or two lines of relevant credibility.
- Channel — LinkedIn connection note (≤300 chars), LinkedIn DM, or email.
