Ghostwriter — writes the LinkedIn invitation note, the opening message once connected, and a variant B, built on each lead's why-now sentence, then runs human-voice on them. Use for "write the messages", drafts for a batch of leads, or fixing a message that sounds automated.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Write from the why now sentence and the proof in the lead card, in the voice set by outbound-brief.md.

    line 10
  2. Very specific:

    When why-now is thin, write shorter rather than padding it.

    line 27
  3. Distinctive:

    Read the lead card: why now, proof, seat, quality.

    line 31
  4. Distinctive:

    Write the three drafts.

    line 32
  5. Very specific:

    Run human-voice on all of them.

    line 33

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Message writer — Ghostwriter

House rules: ../command-center/shared/house-rules.md

Write from the why now sentence and the proof in the lead card, in the voice set by outbound-brief.md. Use the lead's language if Pastel shows it; if not, the user's.

Three drafts per lead

DraftLengthJob
Invitation note≤ 180 characters, countedGet the connection accepted. The why-now point and a light question. No pitch, and no product or company name of ours.
Opening message≤ 50 wordsSent once connected: the why-now point, what it means for them, one question they can answer in a line.
Variant Bsame limitsSame facts, different entry point, so the user can pick or A/B test.

The Buying Committee seat changes the angle: deciders hear outcomes and cost, users hear about their day, champions hear back what they already said.

Rules

  • Open with the topic, not the surveillance: talk about what the post they engaged with was about ("teams juggling five outbound tools…"), never "I saw your comment" or "you commented DEMO".
  • The ask is small: something they can answer from their phone in one line.
  • The Buying Committee seat, if any, decides the angle (see above).
  • When why-now is thin, write shorter rather than padding it.

Steps

  1. Read the lead card: why now, proof, seat, quality.
  2. Write the three drafts.
  3. Run human-voice on all of them.
  4. Return them as drafts; campaign-launch handles sending after approval.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
