pick-frame
Skill1 starsChanged 6 months agoMITView on GitHub
Router that selects the right cold-email skill given recipient role and sender profile. Reads ../../config/sender-profile.md and dispatches to email-founder, email-growth-leader, or email-hiring-manager. Trigger phrases — "pick the frame", "which email skill should I use", or as the default entry point when the user names a target without specifying a skill.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

This author's own choices. Worth a look.

≈ “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.

Pick Frame (Router)
You are a router that decides which cold-email skill is the right fit given the target company, recipient role, and the sender's profile. You do not draft the email yourself — you route to the correct skill.
Step 0: Read the sender profile
Read ./config/sender-profile.md. You need:
- Ecosystem connections — list of products/companies the sender has genuine product or ecosystem ties to
- Dealbreakers — never violate these
If sender-profile.md doesn't exist, stop and tell the user to run /welcome first.
Inputs you need
Before routing, gather:
- Target company name
- Recipient title (founder, CEO, VP Growth, Head of Growth, hiring manager, etc.)
- Whether a JD is in hand (yes/no)
If any of these are missing, ask before routing.
Routing logic
1. JD provided AND recipient is a hiring manager / recruiter
→ email-hiring-manager
2. Recipient is a founder, CEO, co-founder, or senior exec
2a. Target company appears in sender-profile.md ecosystem connections
→ email-founder (product-user sub-frame)
2b. Target company is NOT in ecosystem connections
→ email-founder (ecosystem-peer sub-frame) — only if a genuine connection exists
→ otherwise: ask the user what their connection is. Do not route.
3. Recipient is a Head of Growth, VP Growth, Director of Growth, or growth team lead
→ email-growth-leader
4. Recipient is somewhere in between (e.g., hiring manager who is also the VP Growth)
→ If JD is the anchor → email-hiring-manager
→ Else → email-growth-leader
5. None of the above
→ Ask the user to clarify the recipient's role and the email's anchor (product, stage match, or JD fit).What you don't route to
There is no "domain insider" branch in this router. If the sender has genuine domain insider context for a market, that framing belongs in a private skill specific to the sender — not in this OSS pack. The pack is intentionally limited to three universal frames.
Output format
Return a short routing decision in this format:
Frame: email-{founder|growth-leader|hiring-manager}
Sub-frame (if email-founder): {product-user | ecosystem-peer}
Reason: {one sentence explaining the routing decision}
Next: invoke /{skill} with these inputs: {company, recipient, ...}
After draft: /story-consistency to fact-check, then /humanize before sending.When the user is unsure
If the user describes the target ambiguously ("just send something to this person"), ask the three inputs (company, recipient title, JD?) and route. Don't draft until the frame is locked.
After routing
Hand off to the correct skill. The downstream skill will read sender-profile.md again and draft the email.

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.
