Send Outreach

Send an approved outreach message via the appropriate channel. This skill reads from the Decisions DB and sends via Chrome MCP.

Step 1: Read the Approved Item

Fetch the Decisions DB entry to get:

• The target recipient/community
• The channel (email, Twitter DM, LinkedIn message, forum post)
• The message content
• The venture slug

Step 2: Send via Chrome MCP

Step 3: Log the Outreach

   Create the file with headers if it doesn't exist:

   # Outreach Log
   
   | Date | Channel | Target | Subject | Status |
   |------|---------|--------|---------|--------|

2. Update the Decisions DB entry to confirm sent

Step 4: Report

"Sent {channel} outreach to {target}: {subject}"

Important Notes

• Never send unsolicited bulk messages — per guardrails, all outreach must be genuinely relevant
• Respect opt-outs — if a recipient has previously declined, do not re-contact
• Be transparent — disclose AI involvement where appropriate
• One at a time — send outreach individually, not in bulk batches
