Setup (Run Once Per Session)

初始化设置（每个会话仅运行一次）

Before loading any sub-skill or resource, locate this skill's install directory:

Use Glob to search for
```
**/cold-email/SKILL.md
```
The directory containing this SKILL.md is
```
SKILL_BASE
```

Sub-skills are at:

{SKILL_BASE}/.claude/skills/{sub-skill}/SKILL.md

Resources are at:
```
{SKILL_BASE}/resources/...
```

Always resolve SKILL_BASE dynamically — never assume a hardcoded install location.

在加载任何子技能或资源之前，找到本技能的安装目录：

使用Glob搜索
```
**/cold-email/SKILL.md
```
包含此SKILL.md的目录即为
```
SKILL_BASE
```

子技能位于：

{SKILL_BASE}/.claude/skills/{sub-skill}/SKILL.md

资源位于：
```
{SKILL_BASE}/resources/...
```

请始终动态解析SKILL_BASE——切勿假设固定的硬编码安装路径。

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。

Cross-Cutting: Deliverability & Infrastructure

跨领域：送达率与基础设施

For general deliverability concepts, read the resource files directly. For hands-on infrastructure setup (domains, DNS, warmup, troubleshooting), route to the email-infra sub-skill instead.

Bounce rate must stay below 2%
Reply rate above 5% minimum for sustained sending
Plain text only -- no HTML for cold email

每个收件箱每天最多发送30封邮件
使用3-5个外展域名（绝不要用主域名发送冷邮件）
首次发送冷邮件前需预热4-8周
任何活动前需验证100%的邮箱地址

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
