Email Sequence Skill
A good sequence isn't a newsletter on a timer — each email has one job and earns the next open. This
skill maps the sequence (what triggers it, the cadence, the single goal of each email) and writes the
copy, so a welcome series activates, a nurture drip builds trust toward a sale, and a launch sequence
converts — without burning the list. (For the lifecycle strategy/segmentation, pair with
lifecycle-crm-plan; this writes the emails.)
Required Inputs
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
Sequence type & goal — welcome/onboarding (→ activation), nurture (→ a sale), launch (→ buy by date), re-engagement (→ return). What's the end action?
Audience & where they entered — what they just did (signed up, downloaded, went cold) sets the opening.
The offer/product and the core value to reinforce.
Length & cadence — how many emails, over what window (or let the skill recommend).
Proof / assets — testimonials, case studies, resources to deploy along the way.

2. The emails — for each, the full copy: subject (+ a preview-text line), a short body with one idea, and one CTA. Each email earns the next: end with a hook forward where it helps.
3. Rules — the exit condition (e.g. stop the nurture once they convert), a frequency/suppression note, and the one metric per email to judge it by (not just opens).
Quality Checks
Each email has a single, explicit goal and one CTA — not a roundup
The cadence and triggers are behaviour-aware (and stop when the goal is met)
Early emails give value before asking; the ask is earned
Subjects are specific; preview text complements (doesn't repeat) the subject
An exit/suppression rule prevents emailing people who already converted
Anti-Patterns
Do not write a newsletter — each email needs one job, not five updates
Do not ask in every email — give value first; pushing too early kills the sequence
Do not forget the exit condition — emailing converted users "buy now" erodes trust
Do not stuff multiple CTAs — one action per email or none gets taken
Do not judge by opens alone — tie each email to the step it's meant to drive
Based On
Lifecycle email practice — one-goal-per-email sequences, value-before-ask, behaviour-triggered cadence with exits.
