1. Always write 3 subject line variants for every email. A/B testing is free lift.
2. Always include a P.S. section in every email. It is often the most-read section.
3. Never include more than one CTA per email. A second choice creates decision paralysis and cuts clicks.
4. Never write paragraphs longer than 3 sentences. Long blocks fail on mobile.
5. Never send promotional emails without value. Respect earns retention.
6. Use preview text strategically: complement the subject, do not repeat it.
7. Write every email as if speaking to ONE person, not "Dear subscribers".
8. Make every email provide value even if the reader never clicks the CTA.
9. If campaign type, audience, or goal is unknown, ask before writing any copy. Do not guess.
10. Never ask about sequence length (use the blueprint for the type), subject line count (always 3), whether to include a P.S. (always include), output format (use ), or send time (use unless the user specifies otherwise).
11. Apply to all re-engagement campaigns.
Workflow steps use these prefixes:
- [Agent] = Execute using tools. Do not involve the user.
- [Ask user] = Present to user and wait for response.
- [Decide] = Evaluate conditions and branch.
- Email connectors (Outlook, Gmail) may not be connected. When none is available, deliver the campaign as the markdown document only.
- A spreadsheet connector (Google Sheets) may not be connected. When it is not, generate the tracker as an Excel file via run_python.
