Runs before the draft, on every contact in a batch. Produces a premise line per contact, plus a stated count of cold declarations.

The one-line law

A cold touch is what is left after the bridge search fails. It is never the default.

What the lane buys you

Classify the recipient before writing anything, using the four categories in outreach-4-categories. This skill adds what each lane licenses:

Lane	Opener stands on	Ask may reach
Inbound	their own action, quoted	the meeting
Postbound	the thing they engaged	a light question
Bridgebound	the bridge, as dated fact	one rung above cold
Outbound (cold)	an unscrapeable line about their business	the smallest yes

Cold is a legal lane. It is legal declared, after the search, not by default.
