Four fully sourced skills from the actual SKILL.md files, then the complete skill inventory by plugin.
Skill: cold-email-personalization (copywriting plugin)
Trigger: writing cold outreach, sales prospecting, or outbound B2B emails. Personalising email openers from prospect research signals. Building multi-touch follow-up sequences. Reviewing or scoring drafts before sending.
Six-step workflow with hard gates:
- Map the ICP: complete ICP and Objection Mapping. Gate: persona, top 3 objections, and desired next step are defined.
- Research signals: find custom signals from the last 90 days via Research Playbook. Gate: at least 2 verified signals per prospect.
- Choose campaign path: Custom Signal, Creative Idea, Whole Offer, or Fallback.
- Draft the email: plain text, 60-120 words, one CTA. Use Variable Schema for merge fields.
- QA and score: run QA Checklist then Scoring Rubric. Gate: score >= 80 and 3:1 recipient-to-sender ratio.
- Build sequence: follow-ups per Follow-Up Strategy, rotating value props each touch.
Core principles:
- Message-market fit over cleverness: show you understand the prospect's situation immediately
- Research is the personalisation: custom signals prove homework, never fabricate facts
- One job per email: earn a reply, not a meeting
- Two paths: Path A is custom signal research, Path B is whole-offer strategy
Working example from the SKILL.md:
Signal: prospect posted a VP Sales hire on LinkedIn 2 weeks ago.
Subject: {{first_name}}, growing the sales team?
Body: Hi {{first_name}}, saw {{company}} just brought on a new VP Sales. Looks like you're scaling outbound to {{customer_type}}. We helped [similar company] ramp 3 new reps to quota 40% faster by templatising their top performer's research workflow. Worth a 15-min look?
Assets bundled: Research Playbook, Variable Schema, Email Structure rules, Campaign Types, Creative Ideas, Follow-Up Strategy, ICP and Objection Mapping, QA Checklist, Scoring Rubric, Examples.
Skill: social-selling (sales-prospecting plugin)
Trigger: prospect is active on LinkedIn, X, or niche communities. Outreach needs warmer entry points than cold email. SDRs must nurture accounts over weeks. Converting marketing engagement (webinars, posts) into conversations.
Five-step framework:
- Core Principles: insight first, timely engagement, sequence public and private touches, lean on social proof, lead with call-to-value offers
- Engagement Ladder: monitor > micro-engage > value drops > DM > follow-through into email/call
- Signal Tracking: monitor posts, job changes, events, and mutual connections for context
- Cadence Planning: mix comments, shares, and DMs each week per target account
- Measurement: connection acceptance rate, DM reply rate, meetings per 50 connections, interactions per account
Weekly activity target per account: 3 comments, 2 value shares, 1 DM.
Tips from the SKILL.md:
- Engage within 30 minutes of prospect activity when possible for visibility
- Alternate public cues (comments, reposts) with private DMs to avoid feeling pushy
- Tie every outreach to proof (mutual connections, customer stories) to earn trust
- Move hot threads to email or call quickly and log outcomes for attribution
Assets bundled: engagement_playbook.md (DM scripts and signal tracking), social_checklist.md (daily/weekly routines), social listening checklist, weekly activity planner.
Skill: storytelling (content-marketing plugin)
Trigger: crafting narratives for campaigns, product launches, or decks. Translating technical capabilities into relatable customer stories. Coaching spokespeople or SDRs on better pitch storytelling.
Five-step SCAR framework:
- Audience and Conflict: identify who the hero is (customer persona) and what obstacle they face
- Story Arc (SCAR): Situation > Complication > Action > Resolution
- Characterisation: give personas motives, stakes, and quotes
- Sensory Detail: vivid language, specific metrics, concrete examples
- Moral/CTA: tie the resolution back to product value and explicit next step
Pitch script template from the SKILL.md:
"Most {persona}s today face {pain}. When {trigger}, {impact}. We worked with {customer} to {action}, leading to {result}."
Tips:
- Record customer interviews to capture natural phrasing for quotes
- Swap metaphors and analogies per persona so stories feel tailored
- Reinforce numbers with vivid imagery (e.g. "saved hours = extra sprints delivered")
- Align every story with the current positioning document to avoid mixed messages
Assets bundled: narrative outline template (hook, scene, rising tension, turn, resolution, CTA), pitch script template, story inventory tracker (customer, industry, proof points).
Skill: platform-frameworks (social-media plugin)
Trigger: planning multi-channel campaigns requiring platform-specific nuances. Reviewing calendars to ensure posts follow best practices. Coaching contributors unfamiliar with a platform's culture or specs.
