What this Skill does
Generate personalized outreach messages using Common Room signals. Triggers on 'draft outreach to [person]', 'write an email to [name]', 'compose a message for [contact]', or any outreach drafting request.
How the upstream workflow works
Step 1: Look Up the Target
Use Common Room MCP tools to find and retrieve data for the target (company and/or specific contact). Pull: Recent product activity and engagement signals Community activity (posts, questions, reactions) 3rd-party intent signals (job postings, news, funding)
Upstream passage · L12 ↗Step 2: Web Search for External Hooks (If CR Signals Are Thin)
If CR returned strong signals (recent activity, engagement, product usage), those should drive personalization — skip web search. If CR signals are thin or the prospect has little CR activity, run a web search for external hooks: What to search: "[company name]" funding OR acquisition OR launch OR announcement — last 30 days "[contact full name]" "[company name]" — look for recent articles, interviews, LinkedIn posts, or conference talks
Step 3: Spark Enrichment (If Available)
If Spark is available, run enrichment on the target contact to get persona classification, background, and influence signals. Use this to calibrate tone and message angle.
Upstream passage · L37 ↗## Outreach for [Name / Company] — Limited Data
**What I found:**
[Only the real data from CR and web search]
**I don't have enough signal to draft personalized outreach yet.** To write something strong, I'd need:
- Recent activity or engagement signals
- Context you have from prior conversations
- A specific reason for reaching out now
Can you share any of the above?Requirements and setup

Limits and quality checks
Quality Standards
Every message must reference something specific — generic outreach is not acceptable output Match tone to context: warm and conversational for inbound/community signals; more formal for cold/executive outreach
Upstream passage · L125 ↗Start with a safe trial
- Check the supported host and the repository installation instructions. Keep the Skill directory and its referenced scripts, assets and documentation together; SKILL.md alone may omit dependencies.
- Give the agent your real input, desired output and acceptance criteria. Invocation syntax and available tools depend on the host; this site does not assume a universal install command.
- Try the source workflow in a disposable project or on a copy. Review operations that change files, remote services or billable resources before allowing them.
- Validate the output against the source quality checks and your own requirements. A successful trigger or a high repository Star count does not establish a correct result.
