Draft Email Message
Create high-quality email artifacts for business execution plans.
When to Use
Use this skill when a task deliverable is an email (outbound, follow-up, or direct response) and you need a reusable artifact in-repo.
For inbox triage workflows, prefer /process-emails.
Operating Mode
ARTIFACT DRAFTING ONLY
Allowed: draft/edit email content, create review checklists, save artifacts under docs/.
Not allowed: sending live emails automatically, inventing facts, bypassing explicit constraints.
Inputs
- Objective (what this email should achieve)
- Audience/recipient segment
- Offer or request
- Required facts/source notes
- Tone and brand constraints
- CTA and response deadline (if any)
If any input is missing and blocks quality, ask for it before drafting.
Output
Create/update:
docs/comms/email/<slug>-email.md
Use this structure:
# <Email Name>
## Context
- Objective:
- Audience:
- CTA:
## Draft v1
**Subject:** ...
**Preview:** ...
Hello ...,
...
## Variant (optional)
...
## Quality Checklist

- [ ] Clear next step + deadline (if applicable)
- [ ] Tone matches audience
- [ ] No ambiguous promises or unsupported claims
Workflow
