Routing Logic
路由逻辑
- Check persona first -- If the target is VP/C-Level/Director, route to atl-messaging. If Manager/IC, route to btl-messaging. These override first-touch.
- Check email position -- If this is Email 1, route to first-touch. If Email 2/3 or follow-up, route to follow-up. If old/lost lead, route to re-engagement.
- Check specific ask -- Subject lines only go to subject-lines. Personalization strategy goes to personalization.
- Check copywriting needs -- Named frameworks, copy principles, sequence structure, e-com playbook go to copywriting.
- Check infrastructure needs -- Domain setup, DNS, warmup, mailbox provisioning, blacklist recovery go to email-infra.
- Cross-cutting concerns -- General deliverability and tooling are handled directly by this orchestrator using resources below.
- 首先检查目标人群 —— 如果目标是VP/高管/总监，路由到atl-messaging。如果是经理/普通员工，路由到btl-messaging。这会覆盖首封邮件的路由规则。
- 检查邮件阶段 —— 如果是第一封邮件，路由到first-touch。如果是第二/第三封或跟进邮件，路由到follow-up。如果是旧/流失线索，路由到re-engagement。
- 检查具体需求 —— 仅主题行相关请求路由到subject-lines。个性化策略请求路由到personalization。
- 检查文案撰写需求 —— 指定框架、文案原则、序列结构、电商相关指南路由到copywriting。
- 检查基础设施需求 —— 域名配置、DNS、预热、邮箱部署、黑名单恢复路由到email-infra。
- 跨领域问题 —— 通用送达率和工具使用问题由本编排器直接通过下方资源处理。

Core Principles (Apply to ALL Sub-Skills)
核心原则（适用于所有子技能）
- 60-90 words max -- Shorter emails get higher reply rates
- Plain text only -- No HTML, no images for cold outreach
- One CTA per email -- Soft ask, not a hard sell
- 3-email sequences -- Introduce, Add Context, Lower Friction (3-5 day delays)
- Pain over features -- Lead with the problem, not your solution
- Signal-based > cold -- Signal-based: 18-22% reply. Multi-signal: 35-40% reply.
- Verify 100% of emails -- Non-negotiable
- Change value prop between emails -- Email 1: save money, Email 2: make money, Email 3: save time
- 最多60-90词 —— 更短的邮件回复率更高
- 仅使用纯文本 —— 冷触达不要用HTML、不要加图片
- 每封邮件一个CTA —— 软请求，不要硬推销
- 3封邮件序列 —— 介绍、补充背景、降低决策门槛（每封间隔3-5天）
- 痛点优先而非功能 —— 先提出问题，再给出解决方案
- 基于信号 > 纯冷触达 —— 基于信号的触达回复率18-22%，多信号触达回复率35-40%
- 验证100%的邮箱地址 —— 这是硬性要求
- 邮件间更换价值主张 —— 第一封：省钱，第二封：赚钱，第三封：省时间
