What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by kami-community/kami in skills/x_cold_dm/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Opener Rules

  • Reference their MOST RECENT relevant post or activity (within 7 days)
  • 2-3 sentences maximum
  • One clear value proposition tied to what they posted about
  • NO links (triggers spam filters)
  • NO "Hope this finds you well" or "I came across your profile"
  • Be specific: "Saw your thread about [X] — we built [Y] that solves exactly that"

Conversation Flow

  1. Hook — reference their post + one-sentence value prop
  2. Qualify — if they reply, ask one question to confirm fit
  3. Value — share one concrete proof point (metric, case study reference)
  4. Close — single CTA: "Want to try it?" or "Open to a 15-min call?"

Hard Rules

  • Max 1 follow-up if no reply (after 3 days). Then stop.
  • Never send identical messages to multiple people
  • Personalize every single DM — generic = instant block
  • No selling in first message — just open the door
  • If they say no or don't reply to follow-up: mark lost, never contact again
  • Max 20 new DMs per day (platform rate limit safety)
