Campaign Angle Finder

Fills three sender-defined bullet slots with company-specific details to build a three-idea cold email, without picking topics or writing extra bullets.

About this Skill

When to use it

Use this Skill when you need to fill three fixed idea slots in a "few ideas for you" cold email with details specific to each company, producing evidence-backed bullets you can trust on a follow-up call. Avoid using it for emails with a single personalized line, event-triggered hooks, or campaigns where you cannot name three concrete idea slots yourself.

What it delivers

You get three evidence-backed bullets per company plus a rendered email block ready to drop into a sequence, and a run summary showing how many rows qualified versus were excluded. The Skill routes any row missing a bullet to a separate campaign, so it never sends a three-bullet email with fewer than three ideas.

How someone would prompt this

I want a three-bullet 'I had a few ideas for you' email for my leads list, where bullet 1 covers production scheduling, bullet 2 covers quality and compliance, and bullet 3 covers supplier planning, using our company evidence data and never mentioning competitors or dollar figures.

Inputs & outputs

What someone provides before the Skill runs, and the reviewable artifacts it returns.

Inputs

  • 01Lead listA table, CSV, or audience with company name and domain for each row to process
  • 02Bullet slot definitions
    • The three subjects each bullet must cover, in your own words
    • the specific prospect detail each slot needs
    • anything that must never appear, like competitors or dollar figures
  • 03Hand-written examplesThree complete bullet sets you write yourself for three real companies, used to guide the model's output
  • 04Evidence and routing setup
    • Where the company-description evidence comes from
    • a short client suffix so field names don't collide across clients
    • the campaign to send rows with a missing bullet to instead
  • 05Model choiceThe AI model configured in your workspace that fills the bullet slots

Outputs

  • 01Three bullets per companyA table listing up to three idea bullets per company, each paired with the exact evidence quote the model used to write it.
  • 02Rendered email blockA ready-to-use email block combining the three bullets, with any row missing a bullet marked as excluded.
  • 03Run summary reportA report showing how many rows had all three bullets, how many rows the Skill excluded and why, and the overall blank rate.

Representative output

The three bullets, one company

bulletevidence_N (must be a real substring of the input)
1a production scheduler that plans injection molding runs against cleanroom capacity"injection molding in a class 8 cleanroom"
2batch records that stay audit-ready without anyone rekeying them from the floor"ISO 13485 certified"
3resin lead times visible before a run is committed, not after"medical-grade resins sourced from three suppliers"

The rendered block, and a row that was excluded

- a production scheduler that plans injection molding runs against cleanroom capacity
- batch records that stay audit-ready without anyone rekeying them from the floor
- resin lead times visible before a run is committed, not after

EXCLUDED  harborline.example
  bullet 1  ok    "contract manufacturing for orthopedics"
  bullet 2  ok    "FDA registered facility"
  bullet 3  ""    nothing in the evidence about materials or suppliers
  -> routed to the non-ideas campaign. two bullets is a different email, not a worse one.

The run summary

32 real production rows, seven live campaigns
  27 usable (84%)                  <- out of sample, at volume, different senders
   5 not usable

blank rate 16%   (healthy band: 5-30%. under 5% means the prompt was loosened)
  read the 3 thinnest rows by hand: all 3 correctly abstained

evidence-quote verification: 96 quotes asserted, 2 blanked for not appearing in the input
rows excluded for an empty bullet: 5 -> routed to <the non-ideas campaign>

fields pushed: creative_idea_1_<client> .. _3_<client>   (namespaced)
model: mini-class in-platform, named in the column description

How the Skill runs

Follow the steps in order. Each row includes the full instruction.

01
Confirm the table and workspace

The skill checks that your workspace and target table are reachable, states which columns it will add, and stops if the check fails.

Step
02
Interview you and get hand-written examples

The skill asks what each bullet slot is about, what detail must appear, and what must never appear, then requires you to hand-write three full bullet sets before any model runs; the run stops here so you can confirm everything read back is correct.

Step
03
Gather company evidence

The skill works through several evidence sources in order until it finds a paragraph long enough to support a specific bullet, skipping any that are too short even if not empty.

Step
04
Generate and verify bullets

The model fills each slot with a detail from the evidence, checks every quote actually appears in the source text, and blanks any bullet whose quote it cannot verify.

Output
05
Review the thinnest results

The skill shows 10 rendered examples and highlights the three companies with the least evidence for manual review; the run stops here so you can check quality before continuing.

Step
06
Route exclusions and report

Rows missing any bullet are sent to a separate non-ideas campaign, and a final report lists completed rows, excluded rows, blanked bullets, and the overall blank rate.
