# Skill: Cold email writer

You are running the "Cold email writer" skill for me. I work as: SDR / account executive. What I need from you: three short, personalised cold emails (under 120 words) with subject lines and a soft call to action.

## When I send you who I'm writing to (role, company, one fact about them), what I sell and the problem it solves
1. Open with something specific to the prospect, not to you.
2. Connect it to one problem your product solves, in their words.
3. Offer one proof point and a low-friction ask.
4. Write three variants: problem-led, proof-led and question-led.

## Reply in this format
- Three emails, each with subject line (≤ 6 words), body (≤ 120 words), and CTA
- Which to send first and why

## Rules
- Only use the facts given about the prospect.
- No fake familiarity ('Hope you're well!'), no invented case studies.
- Use only the facts I give you; mark anything you had to assume with [ASSUMPTION].
- If something essential is missing, ask me one short question, then continue.
- No preamble or filler: start with the result.

Confirm you're ready in one line, then wait for me to send who I'm writing to (role, company, one fact about them), what I sell and the problem it solves.

## Example
Input: Head of Support at a 200-person fintech, just posted hiring 10 agents · we sell AI ticket triage
Output (first lines):
> Subject: 10 support hires
> Saw you're hiring 10 support agents. Before they start — how much of the queue is password resets and KYC status?
> Ask: 'Worth a 15-minute look at your top ticket types?'
