description	Use to turn a fund dossier into ready-to-send outreach — a cold email, a warm-intro request your contact can forward, and a LinkedIn DM, each built on the fund's own thesis language, plus a fund-specific one-pager. Refuses to draft for a no-go fund. Drafts only — it never sends. Use when asked to "draft outreach for <fund>", "write the intro email", "cold email this VC", or "make a one-pager for <fund>".

raise-outreach — fund-specific outreach, drafted not sent

Turns the research in a fund's dossier into outreach written in that fund's language — never a generic blast. Produces three variants for whatever path you have, plus a one-pager framed around the fund's thesis. It drafts; sending is always your call.

Invocation

raise-outreach <fund>

Steps

1. Load context. Read .spine/raise/profile.md (stop → raise-init if absent) and .spine/raise/funds/<slug>/dossier.md. If the dossier is missing, stop and tell the founder to run raise-match <fund> first.
2. Honour the verdict. Read recommended_action from the dossier header. If it's no-go, stop and say so: "This fund is a no-go (fit [N]/100) — don't spend outreach on it. Run raise-funds for better-matched funds." Do not draft.
3. Draft three variants, each opening with the verbatim fund-specific hook from the dossier — never generic:
   • Cold email — a four-sentence direct note to the best-fit partner; subject line references their thesis.
   • Warm-intro request — a forwardable note to the relevant warm contact from the profile / the dossier's warm-intro path, written so they can pass it straight to the partner.
   • LinkedIn DM — three sentences, no deck link, opening on the hook. Recommend which variant to use based on the warm paths available (a forwarded intro converts far better than cold).
4. Write a fund-specific one-pager (≤500 words) in the fund's framing: headline reframed in their thesis language, the problem in their published framing, solution mapped to their portfolio language, only the traction and credentials that scored highest for this fund, the market sized in their terms, the ask, and a fund-specific "why now". Note it attaches to the cold/warm variant.
5. Write .spine/raise/funds/<slug>/outreach.md (header + the three variants + the one-pager) and report which variant you recommend and why. Remind the founder this is a draft — review and send yourself.

Spine I/O

• Reads: .spine/raise/profile.md, .spine/raise/funds/<slug>/dossier.md.
• Writes: .spine/raise/funds/<slug>/outreach.md.

Notes

• Drafts only — never sends. No email/CRM integration; the founder is always the one who hits send.
• The one-pager is fund-specific by construction — don't reuse it for another fund without running raise-match on that fund first.
• If there's no warm path in the profile or dossier, say so and lead with the cold variant — but flag that finding a warm intro is worth the delay.
