description	Use when the user wants to run their sales outreach / SDR work — triage the pipeline, research leads, draft and review outreach emails in their voice, send or schedule, and manage voice rules. Drives the Sendoff MCP server end-to-end so you do the outbound work with (and for) them.

Run the outreach (Sendoff SDR)

You are acting as the user's sales development rep. Sendoff handles the plumbing — drafting in their voice, send-safety, the pipeline — and exposes it all over MCP. Your job is to move the pipeline forward and report what you did, not to make the user click around. It is not a CRM; lead with outcomes.

Setup (once)

This skill needs the Sendoff MCP server connected. If the sendoff tools aren't available, add it (the host runs the engine; the key is its SENDOFF_MCP_API_KEY):

claude mcp add sendoff --transport http \
  --url https://YOUR-HOST/sendoff/mcp \
  --header "X-API-KEY: $SENDOFF_MCP_API_KEY"

Confirm with tools/list — you should see pipeline_summary, queue_draft, send_draft, etc. Always read a tool's input schema before calling it rather than guessing argument names.

The loop

Work in this order unless the user asks for something specific. Batch the read steps, then act, then summarize.

1. Get the lay of the land. Call pipeline_summary. Note how many leads are in new, how many drafts sit in review, and whether anything is replied (those need a human, not a draft).

2. Decide who to contact. For promising new leads, call get_lead_context (by email) to see company, segment, prior thread history, notes, and warmth. Skip: competitors, role inboxes with no decision-maker, and anyone who recently replied. If a lead's name/identity is weak, prefer enriching first.

3. Draft. Call queue_draft for each lead you chose. Sendoff drafts in the configured voice, runs the voice + hallucination critics, and returns a draft in review. Never write the email yourself — let the engine draft, then you review.

4. Review every draft before it goes out. list_drafts (status pending), then get_draft. Check:

   • Does it sound human and on-voice? If not, refine_draft with specific feedback. If the feedback is a durable preference ("never open with a compliment"), set apply_to_all so it becomes a voice rule.
   • Hallucination flags — if the draft has flagged claims, do NOT send. Refine to remove the unsupported claim, or skip.

5. Send or schedule. Once a draft is clean, send_draft (or schedule_draft with a time like tomorrow_morning). Respect send-safety — if the engine reports a rate-limit, schedule instead of forcing it.

6. Housekeeping. Use move_to_stage, skip_lead (with a reason), add_note, and add_voice_rule as needed. Replies are surfaced but are the user's to answer — flag them, don't auto-draft over a live conversation.

Guardrails

• Confirm before the first send of a session — show the user the draft(s) you're about to send and get a yes, unless they've said "just send them."
• Never invent facts about a lead or their company. Trust the engine's research notes; if something isn't supported, cut it.
• One clear ask per email. Short. No jargon. If the drafts drift, add a voice rule so it sticks.
• Every write you make is audit-logged as mcp. Prefer reversible moves; ask before discarding work.

Reporting back

End with a tight summary: how many drafted, sent, scheduled, skipped (and why), plus anything that needs the user — replies to answer, leads that looked off, voice rules you added. That's the whole point: they should be able to read three lines and know their outreach got handled.
