Writes personalized cold outreach emails to hiring managers and founders — specific and human, not a pitch deck. Its core principle: cold emails fail when they sound like cover letters; the goal is to sound like a smart person who genuinely noticed something specific about the company. It structures the email around a real hook (a stat, a product decision, a market insight from the job description or website), keeps the subject line simple, and avoids broadcasting credentials. Discovered via skills.sh. Honest note: this is for genuine one-to-one job-seeking outreach, not bulk spam — the quality of the email depends on the specific details you can provide about the company. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use. Not verified.

Install
Prerequisites: none — have the job posting or company website handy when we write, so the email can reference something specific. Install "Cold Email Writer Skill for Muse" for me. Writes personalized cold outreach emails to hiring managers and founders — specific and human, not a pitch deck: a real hook grounded in something specific about the company (a stat, a product decision, a market insight), a simple subject line, no credential broadcasting. Repository: https://github.com/paramchoudhary/resumeskills/blob/main/skills/cold-email-writer/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file (and any helper files: references/, assets/, scripts/) from the repository path into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "cold-email-writer". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. share the job posting or company details for a genuinely personalized email). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
