The Campaign Composer
Write email campaigns with subject variants and personalization
$ npx skills add sidchaudhary/gtm-skills/skills/lifecycle-marketer/the-campaign-composerWhat it does
Complete email campaigns with subject line variants, Liquid personalization, and sequence timing.
You'll know it's time when...
Open and click rates are trending down, and subject lines are being guessed instead of tested.
How it works
Run it in three steps
Install
Copy the install command above and run it in your project.
Ask Claude
Ask for what you need in plain English, no prompt tuning required.
Get the output
Claude returns a structured artifact aligned to your ICP and voice.
Boundary: For cold outreach to unknown prospects, use
the-cold-openerorthe-sequence-doctor. For multi-channel flows with branching, usethe-flow-architect.
Context
- Check for
.agents/product-context.md; if missing, ask the user to run/gtm:product-contextfirst. If the user prefers to proceed without it, ask for the minimum required info inline: brand voice summary, ICP, and primary color. - Read
references/email-templates.mdfor template patterns and Liquid variable reference.
Inputs
- Ask: "What is the campaign goal?" (welcome, nurture, convert, retain, win-back, announce)
- Ask: "Single email or sequence? If sequence, how many emails?"
- Ask: "Who is the target audience for this campaign? (segment, lifecycle stage, or all contacts)"
Process
- Read
.agents/product-context.mdto pull brand voice, ICP, and lifecycle stages. - If sequence: design the timing and trigger for each email (e.g., Day 0, Day 2, Day 5).
- For each email, write:
- 3 subject line variants: Use the subject line frameworks from the reference file (curiosity, benefit-led, urgency, personalization, question) and select the 3 most appropriate for the goal.
- Preheader: complements the subject line, not repeats it
- Body copy: full email content using brand voice, with Liquid personalization tags (e.g.,
{{ first_name }},{{ company }},{% if segment == 'champion' %}). Body copy: aim for 150-300 words for engagement emails, 50-150 words for transactional or trigger emails. - CTA: single clear call-to-action with button text and link destination
- Recommend an A/B test for each email (subject line, CTA, or send time).
- Build the deliverability checklist: Use the full deliverability checklist from the reference file, including authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), content quality, spam triggers, and list hygiene.
Output
- Deliver the campaign spec:
- Strategy: Goal, target audience/segment, sequence length, send cadence
- Per Email Block: Send timing, 3 subject lines, preheader, full body copy with Liquid variables, CTA (text + destination), A/B test recommendation
- Deliverability Checklist: All items checked or flagged
Quality check before returning
- Before returning the output, verify:
- Does each email body fall within its word range (150-300 for engagement emails, 50-150 for transactional/trigger emails)?
- Are there exactly 3 subject line variants per email, each pulled from a distinct framework in
references/email-templates.md? - Does every Liquid tag used (e.g.
{{ first_name }},{% if segment == 'champion' %}) match real Liquid syntax, not invented syntax? - Is the deliverability checklist complete for every item in the reference file (authentication, content quality, spam triggers, list hygiene), not partially filled?
If any check fails, correct it before returning the output.

Questions about The Campaign Composer
Everything you need before installing, plus how the skill actually behaves once Claude picks it up.
Complete email campaigns with subject line variants, Liquid personalization, and sequence timing. It's a Claude Agent Skill - a folder with a SKILL.md file and reference material - so Claude loads the methodology on demand when you ask for what you need in plain language, instead of you pasting a template.
