Draft Outreach

Create personalized outreach messages for job search networking.

Step 0: Load Context

1. Read data/profile.yml
2. Check data/research/{company}.md for company intelligence
3. Check data/evaluations/ for any evaluation at this company

If no company research exists:

"I don't have research on {company} yet. Better outreach comes from better intel. Want me to research them first, or should I draft something with what I know?"

Step 1: Identify the Contact

Parse user input for: contact name, title, company, platform.

If no specific contact named, suggest based on research file:

"Based on my research, here are contacts at {company}: {list from research} Who would you like to reach out to?"

Step 2: Determine Message Type

Type	When	Length
LinkedIn connection request	No existing connection	Under 300 characters
LinkedIn message	Already connected	100-200 words
Cold email	Have their email	100-150 words
Follow-up	Already reached out, no response 5+ days	50-75 words

Ask the user which type if not clear from context.

Step 3: Generate Using 3-Part Structure

Part 1: Hook (about THEM, not you)

Reference something specific about the company, their work, or a recent event.

Bad: "I'm really interested in your company" (about you) Bad: "I'd love to connect" (generic) Good: "Your team's work on {specific project/launch} caught my attention" Good: "I noticed {company} just {recent event from research}"

Part 2: Proof (one quantifiable thing about you)

One sentence. One number. Directly relevant to their world.

Bad: "I have 10 years of experience in marketing" Good: "I grew organic traffic 3x at {Company} in 8 months" Good: "I managed a $2M portfolio with 98% client retention"

Pull the most relevant proof point from the user's profile that connects to the target company's needs.

Part 3: Proposal (low-pressure ask)
