A Claude Skill that researches your prospect and gives you 3 email drafts to pick from.
Here’s your YYY Cold Email Skill (download link below): a Claude Code Skill that writes the first cold email founders put off for weeks.
It handles the parts that would normally eat your afternoon:
Researching the prospect before you write a word
Finding the one reason to email them this week
Writing an email that reads like a peer sent it
Following up once when they go quiet
I build GTM systems with Claude Code for B2B founding teams.
This Skill runs the same framework I use to write first emails for clients.
It’s a real, working tool. You drop it into your project and run it.
What this Skill does
Asks you five questions about your business on the first run, then saves your profile so you never answer them again
Researches your prospect from a LinkedIn profile, a company URL or a bare email address
Writes three first-email options with the Why Me, Why You, Why Act framework, so you pick the one that fits
Aims every email at one reply, because a reply turns a cold prospect warm
Writes the single follow-up when your first email gets silence
Runs across a whole list of domains, LinkedIn URLs or a CSV, with one email per row
How to install it in Claude Code
If you have Claude Code set up, installing it takes about a minute.
Download the Skill below. You get a
.zipwith one folder inside, calledyyy-cold-email.Inside your Claude Code project, create the folder
.claude/skills/if it does not exist yet.Unzip the folder into it. Keep it whole, since the Skill reads the
referencesandassetsfiles that sit beside it. Your path becomes.claude/skills/yyy-cold-email/SKILL.md.Start a Claude Code session in that project and type
/yyy-cold-email. Then hand it a prospect: a LinkedIn profile, a company URL or an email address.
New to Claude Code? The complete Claude Code GTM Starter Guide walks through the full setup from scratch, written for someone who has never touched a terminal.
No Claude Code? Use it in Claude.ai
The same .zip works in the Claude web and desktop app.
Go to Settings, then Capabilities, and switch on “Code execution and file creation”.
Open Customize, then Skills, and upload the .zip as it is. Leave it zipped.
Start a new chat and paste in a prospect. Claude picks up the Skill on its own and asks your five business questions as tap-to-answer options.

The Skill writes one email and one follow-up.
That limit is deliberate. The first email decides whether a conversation starts at all, so it gets all the attention.
Everything after the reply lives in my full Claude GTM System Guides: the signal-scored lists, the 3-step sequence, the tool connections and the weekly workflow.
