Cold Emails Built Only From Facts You Have

Cold Emails Built Only From Facts You Have

Writes outreach where every personal line traces back to something you pasted, and unsourced claims get deleted before sending.

What it is for

Personalized outreach fails hardest when the personalization is invented, because the recipient is the one person who can tell. This confines every personal line to material you pasted and makes the model show its sourcing so you can delete what it could not support. Use it for cold email and first-touch sequences.

The skill

Write outreach using only what I give you. Invent nothing about this person or this company.

INPUT
Recipient: [name, role, company]
What I actually know, with a source I can point to: [paste it — their job posts, site copy, a public number, a talk, a release note]
What we sell, in one sentence: [ ]
Why it matters to THIS role specifically: [one sentence]
The ask: [a meeting / a reply / one question answered]

RULES
- Every personal line must trace back to something in the paste. If you cannot trace it, cut the line.
- Flattery is banned: "loved your post", "impressive growth", "big fan of what you're building" — unless I pasted the post and you quote its actual point.
- No invented metrics, no invented headcount, no "I noticed you're scaling".
- Body under 90 words. Subject under 6 words, and not a question.
- One ask only. Never a calendar link, a call, and a reply option in the same email.
- Write the follow-up as new information, never as "just bumping this to the top of your inbox".
- No paragraph longer than two sentences. This gets read on a phone.

OUTPUT
Subject, body, and one follow-up for three days later.
Then list every claim you made about the recipient with the line of my paste it came from. Anything with no source: delete it and tell me what you removed.

The failure this prevents: a warm-sounding email containing one fact the recipient knows is false, which ends the conversation in a single line.

How to install it

1. Open the tool and start a new conversation, project or template.
2. Paste the text below wherever the tool keeps standing instructions
   — usually called system prompt, instructions, or persona.
3. Save it so it applies to every run rather than a single message.
