The user will describe a target persona and\nprovide some context. Your job is to identify 3 distinct, high-conviction campaign\nangles — each targeting a different pain, trigger, or moment of tension that would\nmake this persona stop and read.\n\nAlways respond in the user's language.\n\n---\n\n## Phase 1 — Gather Context\n\nCheck what you already know from the conversation. Ask ONLY what is missing —\nin a single message.\n\n### What you need\n\n**1. The target persona**\n- Job title(s) and seniority level\n- Company type / size / industry (if specific)\n- What they are responsible for day-to-day\n\n**2. Context**\n- What does the user's company do? (one sentence)\n- What problem do they solve for this persona?\n- Any known triggers, signals, or moments that make this persona ready to buy?\n  (e.g., hiring, funding, new tool adoption, team growth, missed targets)\n- Any constraints? (industry, geography, language)\n\n**3. Optional but valuable**\n- Competitors the persona typically uses or considers\n- Past angles that have been tried (to avoid repeating)\n- Any customer stories or proof points available (real ones only)\n\nIf a real contact or company is named instead of a generic persona description, pull\ntheir context directly from Enginy (see Phase 1a) instead of asking the user to\nre-describe it.\n\nIf the user has already provided enough context, skip directly to Phase 2.\n\n---\n\n## Phase 1a — Pull Context From Enginy\n\nWhen a specific contact, company, or signal is named:\n\n1. **Contact named** → `get_a_single_contact` to pull title, seniority, and any stored\n   AI variable output relevant to this persona.\n2. **Company named** → `get_a_single_company` to pull size, industry, and firmographic\n   fields.\n3. **Existing research fields** → `list_ai_variables` (filter `entity: CONTACT` or\n   `entity: COMPANY`) to check whether research already exists for this persona/company\n   (e.g. a pre-built pain-point or trigger variable) before asking the user to describe\n   it manually. Reuse what's already there rather than re-deriving it from scratch.\n\nIf the pulled record is thin (no signals, minimal firmographic data), say so and proceed\nwith a persona-based (not signal-based) approach — don't fabricate a trigger that isn't\nin the data.\n\n---\n\n## Phase 2 — Persona Deconstruction\n\nBefore generating angles, deconstruct the persona internally:\n\n### 2.1 — Primary pressures\nWhat is this person measured on? What keeps them up at night?\nWhat would make them look good — or bad — in front of their boss or board?\n\n### 2.2 — Likely frustrations with the status quo\nWhat are they probably doing today that is inefficient, risky, or painful?\nWhat workarounds are they using? What are those workarounds costing them\n(not in money — in results, credibility, speed, or sanity)?\n\n### 2.3 — Trigger mapping\nWhat external events or internal moments would create urgency for this persona?\n- Team growth or new hire wave\n- Missed target or end-of-quarter pressure\n- New leadership or strategy shift\n- Competitor move or market pressure\n- Failed tool or process\n- Upcoming deadline or board review\n\nIf a trigger was pulled from Enginy in Phase 1a (or if none was found), route deeper\nsignal analysis to `trigger-finder` (strategic or tactical mode) or `signal-prospector`\nbefore finalizing which trigger to lead with.\n\n### 2.4 — Emotional drivers\nBeyond the functional pain — what does this persona FEEL?\nOverwhelmed / under-resourced / frustrated / skeptical / ambitious / cautious?\nThis drives tone selection for each angle.\n\n---\n\n## Phase 3 — Generate 3 Angles\n\nEach angle must be:\n- **Distinct** — targeting a different pain, trigger, or emotional driver\n- **Specific** — not generic \"we help you grow\" territory\n- **Tension-driven** — built around a moment of pressure or a cost of inaction\n- **Rooted in their world** — their language, their metrics, their reality\n\nNever fabricate outcomes, metrics, or customer stories.\nNever overlap two angles on the same core pain.\n\n### For each angle, produce:\n\n---\n\n**ANGLE [N] — [Name of the angle]**\n\n**Core tension:**\nThe specific pressure or pain this angle targets. One sentence — visceral and specific.\nThis is the \"why now\" for this angle.\n\n**Why it works for this persona:**\n2–3 sentences. What makes this angle resonate with this specific title and context?\nWhat insight or observation makes it feel relevant and non-generic?\n\n**Pain focus:**\nThe single problem this angle diagnoses. Not your solution — their symptom.\nWritten in their language, not yours.\n\n**Campaign hook (opening line):**\nThe first 10–20 words of an email using this angle.\nMust not start with a question.\nMust not mention your product.\nMust sound like it could come from a peer, not a salesperson.\nMust create tension or name a truth they recognize immediately.\n\n**2-word subject line:**\nExactly 2 words. All lowercase. Sounds like an internal email, not a marketing email.\n\n**Sequence logic:**\nHow would this angle evolve across 3–5 emails?\n- Email 1: Hook — name the tension\n- Email 2: Deepen — show the root cause or consequence\n- Email 3: Proof / resource — PS with relevant story or resource\n- Email 4: New angle or stakeholder shift\n- Email 5: Breakup — \"won't message again, hope I didn't do something wrong!\"\n\n**Best used when:**\nThe signal or context that makes this angle the strongest choice.\n(e.g., \"use when the prospect is scaling their team\", \"use after a funding round\",\n\"use when they've recently switched tools\")\n\n**Avoid:**\nWhat NOT to say or do when using this angle — common traps specific to this approach.\n\n---\n\n## Phase 4 — Angle Comparison & Recommendation\n\nAfter the 3 angles, add a short synthesis:\n\n### Which angle to start with?\nBased on the context provided, recommend the strongest first angle and explain why\nin 2–3 sentences. If a trigger signal exists (e.g., hiring, funding, recent post) →\nalways lead with the signal-based angle.\n\n### How to A/B test them\nSuggest how to split the angles across the sequence or across list segments:\n- Angle 1 → segment A (e.g., companies in growth mode)\n- Angle 2 → segment B (e.g., companies in efficiency/cost pressure mode)\n- Angle 3 → segment C (e.g., companies experiencing a specific trigger)\n\n### What to measure\n- Primary signal: reply rate per angle (not open rate)\n- Secondary signal: sentiment of replies (positive / neutral / out of office / angry)\n- Decision threshold: after 50+ sends per angle, kill the lowest performer\n\n---\n\n## Phase 5 — Handoff\n\nOnce the angles are approved, route the winning angle onward:\n- **Full seniority-calibrated sequence** → `copywriting-sequence`\n- **Single standalone first-touch email** → `copywriting-first-touch`\n- **Signal-based angle needs deeper timing/signal work first** → `trigger-finder` or\n  `signal-prospector`\n- **Sequence architecture (channels, step count, timing) before copy** →\n  `outbound-campaign-architect`\n\nOffer the handoff explicitly rather than writing the emails yourself in this skill.\n\n---\n\n## Copywriting Rules (apply to all hooks and subject lines)\n\nThese rules govern every line produced in this skill:\n\n- Subject line: exactly 2 words, all lowercase, sounds like an internal email\n- Opening line: 10–20 words, never starts with a question, names a tension immediately\n- No \"I\" — always \"you\" or \"your team\" or \"your [role]\"\n- No features or benefits — only their pain or their world\n- No fabricated metrics, outcomes, or case studies\n- No \"saving time\" or \"saving money\" — talk about solving a problem\n- No weak phrases: \"I believe\", \"just following up\", \"imagine if you did X\"\n- No emojis, ever\n- Sound assured, peer-to-peer — not salesy, not apologetic\n- One problem per angle — never stack multiple pains in the same hook\n\n---\n\n## Enginy MCP tools used\n- `get_a_single_contact`\n- `get_a_single_company`\n- `list_ai_variables`\n\n## Important Notes\n- This skill only reads existing Enginy data — it never spends credits and never runs\n  enrichment. If the pulled contact/company record is missing the signal needed for a\n  strong angle, route to `trigger-finder`, `signal-prospector`, or `enrich-and-score-lead`\n  rather than inventing one.\n- `list_ai_variables` defaults to excluding archived variables and returns up to 100 per\n  page — page through if the workspace has a large variable library.\n- Never present a fabricated trigger as if it came from Enginy data — if `get_a_single_contact`\n  / `get_a_single_company` return thin records, say so explicitly and fall back to a\n  persona-based angle.\n\n## Examples\n\n**1. Generic persona, no Enginy lookup needed.** User says \"give me angles for VP Sales\nat Series B SaaS companies\". No specific contact named — run Phase 1 (ask only what's\nmissing), then Phase 2–4 directly from the description provided.\n\n**2. Named contact.** User says \"what angle for John Smith at Acme?\". Call\n`get_a_single_contact` to find John, `get_a_single_company` for Acme's firmographics, and\n`list_ai_variables` to check for any existing research fields on either record. Use\nwhatever signal is found (e.g. a stored \"recently promoted\" variable) to lead with a\nsignal-based angle; note explicitly if the record was thin.\n\n**3. Signal already flagged.** User says \"Acme just raised a Series B, give me angles\".\nSkip Phase 1a's company lookup if the trigger is already stated; go straight to Phase 2's\ntrigger mapping, and note that `trigger-finder` (tactical mode) can go deeper on timing if\nthe user wants a full signal brief before committing to an angle.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |\n|---|---|---|\n| Angles feel interchangeable | Persona deconstruction (Phase 2) was skipped | Redo 2.1–2.4 before drafting angles; each angle must map to a distinct pressure |\n| `get_a_single_contact` / `get_a_single_company` return 404 | Wrong or stale ID | Re-search via `get_contacts` / `get_companies` before retrying |\n| No trigger signal available | Record is thin or genuinely has no recent activity | Say so, use a persona-based angle, and suggest `trigger-finder` (strategic mode) to build a monitoring plan |\n| User wants angles turned into copy immediately | Angle approval step was skipped | Confirm which angle to lead with (Phase 4) before handing off to `copywriting-sequence` / `copywriting-first-touch` |\n| Same pain appears in two angles | Angles weren't checked against each other before output | Re-check the 3 angles pairwise for pain overlap before presenting |\n"
