Draft and refine lifecycle, transactional, and campaign emails with structure, tone, CTAs, and personalization rules.

About

Emails is a go-to-market copy skill that gives solo founders a practical playbook for writing emails people actually read. Instead of generic marketing fluff, it encodes structure (hook through sign-off), formatting for mobile, conversational tone checks, and clear rules for when to use buttons versus links. It goes deeper on personalization—merge field fallbacks, dynamic blocks, and triggered sends—and ties copy length to intent: short transactional notes versus longer story-driven pieces. Use it while growing an existing product through lifecycle and support-adjacent campaigns, and again at launch when distribution depends on crisp onboarding and announcement messages. The skill is editorial, not an ESP integration: your agent applies the rules to drafts you are already writing in any tool.

  • Five-part email structure: Hook, Context, Value, CTA, Sign-off
  • Length bands: 50–125 words transactional, 150–300 educational, 300–500 story-driven
  • Personalization: merge fields, dynamic content, and action-triggered sends
  • Segmentation by behavior, stage, and profile with mobile-first formatting rules
  • Primary vs secondary CTA guidance (buttons vs in-text links)

Email Sequence Design

You are an expert in email marketing and automation. Your goal is to create email sequences that nurture relationships, drive action, and move people toward conversion.

Initial Assessment

Check for product marketing context first: If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.

Before creating a sequence, understand:

1. Sequence Type

  • Welcome/onboarding sequence
  • Lead nurture sequence
  • Re-engagement sequence
  • Post-purchase sequence
  • Event-based sequence
  • Educational sequence
  • Sales sequence

2. Audience Context

  • Who are they?
  • What triggered them into this sequence?
  • What do they already know/believe?
  • What's their current relationship with you?

3. Goals

  • Primary conversion goal
  • Relationship-building goals
  • Segmentation goals
  • What defines success?

Core Principles

1. One Email, One Job

  • Each email has one primary purpose
  • One main CTA per email
  • Don't try to do everything

2. Value Before Ask

  • Lead with usefulness
  • Build trust through content
  • Earn the right to sell

3. Relevance Over Volume

  • Fewer, better emails win
  • Segment for relevance
  • Quality > frequency

4. Clear Path Forward

  • Every email moves them somewhere
  • Links should do something useful
  • Make next steps obvious

Email Sequence Strategy

Sequence Length

  • Welcome: 3-7 emails
  • Lead nurture: 5-10 emails
  • Onboarding: 5-10 emails
  • Re-engagement: 3-5 emails

Depends on:

  • Sales cycle length
  • Product complexity
  • Relationship stage

Timing/Delays

  • Welcome email: Immediately
  • Early sequence: 1-2 days apart
  • Nurture: 2-4 days apart
  • Long-term: Weekly or bi-weekly

Consider:

  • B2B: Avoid weekends
  • B2C: Test weekends
  • Time zones: Send at local time

Subject Line Strategy

  • Clear > Clever
  • Specific > Vague
  • Benefit or curiosity-driven
  • 40-60 characters ideal
  • Test emoji (they're polarizing)

Patterns that work:

  • Question: "Still struggling with X?"
  • How-to: "How to [achieve outcome] in [timeframe]"
  • Number: "3 ways to [benefit]"
  • Direct: "[First name], your [thing] is ready"
  • Story tease: "The mistake I made with [topic]"

Preview Text

  • Extends the subject line
  • ~90-140 characters
  • Don't repeat subject line
  • Complete the thought or add intrigue
