Summary

This repository provides a suite of 29 open-source Claude Code skills designed to automate and optimize cold email outreach for B2B sales and marketing. Built from patterns derived from over 1,000 real-world campaigns, it offers a comprehensive solution for infrastructure setup, lead sourcing, copywriting, and campaign operations, enabling users to launch effective outbound campaigns efficiently.

How It Works

The project structures 29 distinct Claude Code skills into five tracks: Strategy, Infrastructure, List Building, Copy & Send, and Iterate & Automate. It employs an AI-driven approach, leveraging Claude Code to orchestrate complex workflows, generate campaign assets, and manage outreach processes. This methodology aims to distill best practices from extensive real-world campaign data into a replicable, automated system, significantly reducing the manual effort and expertise typically required for successful cold outreach. The /cold-email-kickoff skill serves as an intelligent, guided entry point.

Quick Start & Requirements

Installation involves setting up Claude Code, cloning the repository, and installing Node.js dependencies (npm install -g tsx, npm install). Configuration requires populating a .env file with API keys for various services. A minimum viable setup necessitates API keys for Dynadot, Zapmail, Prospeo, and Smartlead. The primary entry point for new users is the /cold-email-kickoff command within Claude Code. Further details and setup guides are available within the repository.

Highlighted Details

• Guided Orchestration: The /cold-email-kickoff skill provides a conversational, end-to-end workflow for campaign planning, from ICP definition to strategy and execution handoff.
• End-to-End Coverage: Five tracks cover the entire cold email lifecycle, including AI-powered lead generation (e.g., Google Maps scraping, lookalike discovery), deliverability management (e.g., SPF/DKIM checks, spam audits), and automated campaign launching (auto-research-public).
• Performance Metrics: Includes skills for tracking key performance indicators like positive reply rates (positive-reply-scoring) and designing A/B experiments (experiment-design).
• Infrastructure Automation: Skills facilitate domain purchasing (zapmail-domain-setup-public), inbox provisioning (smartlead-inbox-manager), and email validation (millionverifier).

Maintenance & Community

The provided README does not detail specific maintenance contributors, sponsorships, or community channels (e.g., Discord, Slack). Contributions are welcomed via Pull Requests, with an emphasis on real-world test results and generalizable insights.

Licensing & Compatibility

Limitations & Caveats

Functionality is dependent on acquiring and configuring API access for multiple third-party paid services. Some skills are marked as "DRAFT," indicating potential for ongoing development or instability. The effectiveness of automated campaigns may vary based on specific industry nuances and adherence to ethical cold outreach practices.
