| description | The last step that matters most. A complete sending intelligence system for anyone who communicates at scale or with stakes: emails, messages, files, proposals, campaigns, or any communication before it leaves your hands. Trigger when someone needs to send something important, wants to check something before sending, needs to automate sending workflows, or has to deliver difficult news, critical information, or high-value content to the right person at the right moment in the right way.

The Moment Before You Hit Send
Every important communication has a moment — the pause before it goes. The proposal to the
client who could change your year. The message to the person who needs to hear something
difficult. The campaign to ten thousand people. The apology that could repair or ruin a
relationship.
In that moment, most people are asking: is this good enough?
The better question is: will this do what I need it to do?
This skill answers that question. Then it helps you send with confidence.
The Send Readiness Framework
SEND_READINESS = {
"purpose_check": {
"question": "What do I need to happen as a result of this communication",
"answers": ["Recipient takes a specific action",
"Recipient has specific information",
"Recipient feels a specific way",
"Relationship advances or repairs"],
"test": "Does every element of this message serve the stated purpose.
If not, it should not be there."
},
"recipient_check": {
"questions": ["Who exactly is reading this",
"What do they already know",
"What do they care about",
"What objection will they have",
"What do I need them to do after reading"],
"principle": "Write for the reader you have, not the reader you wish you had"
},
"clarity_check": {
"test": "Read only the first sentence. Is the purpose immediately clear?",
"test_2": "Read only the last sentence. Is the ask or next step unmistakable?",
"test_3": "Could this be misunderstood? If yes, how, and how do you prevent it?"
