What it does
Single "start here" orchestrator for new cold email operators. Asks infrastructure-status questions first, then runs /icp-onboarding → /lead-magnet-brainstorm → /campaign-strategy in sequence, producing a consolidated campaign-plan.md. Ends with an interactive menu of next skills branched on whether the user already has domains/inboxes. Use as the very first invocation on any new repo checkout or when onboarding someone to cold email from zero.
Cold Email Kickoff
The single entry point for a fresh user. Replaces "stare at 29 skills and guess which to run first."
When to use
- First-time cold email operator on this repo
- New client/business being onboarded (fresh
profiles/<slug>/directory) - Experienced operator starting a new campaign for a new business
- Anyone who asks "where do I start?"
What this skill produces
- A populated
profiles/<business-slug>/client-profile.yaml(from/icp-onboarding) - A
profiles/<business-slug>/lead-magnets.mdwith the chosen free offer - A
profiles/<business-slug>/campaign-strategy.mdwith 15-25 campaign ideas - A consolidated
profiles/<business-slug>/campaign-plan.md, a single-page summary you can show stakeholders - An interactive menu pointing at the right next skill based on your infrastructure status
Flow
Step 1 (asked FIRST): Infrastructure status
Before touching any business context, ask:
- "Do you already have sending domains + inboxes set up on Smartlead?" (yes / no / not sure)
- "At least 20 inboxes that have been warming for 2+ weeks?" (yes / no)
- "Do you have API keys for Smartlead + Prospeo + MillionVerifier in your
.env?" (yes / partial / no)
These answers determine the next-step menu at Step 6. Save them as infrastructure_status in the profile.
Step 2: Load or create the business profile
Check for profiles/<business-slug>/client-profile.yaml:
- Exists → load it. Ask: "Use this existing profile (answer:
use) or start fresh (answer:new)?" - Doesn't exist → invoke
/icp-onboarding. This scrapes the user's website first, then interviews them. Produces the profile.
Step 3: Ensure lead magnet is chosen
Check the loaded/created profile for a lead_magnet field:
