Templates you did not write
The builder skill reads your own messages and emits the YAML: variables, subject, body, and a system instruction carrying your rules. Change how you sound by editing a file, not by re-prompting.
Outbound GTM · research · relevance
An AI agent that finds prospects, researches where your work fits, and drafts relevant outbound in your own words. 10x the outreach in the same hour.
Research-led outbound
Six sessions
The outbound slice of GTM, shown end to end: research a real signal, establish a credible fit, draft in your voice, and stop for review. The other sessions apply the same machinery to recruiting, research outreach, and guardrails.
Free-typed copy does not go out. Every draft and send is scored against the template it claims to use, and the check runs in code, not in the model’s judgment.
The template gate
What it brings
The point is not that a model can write. Each draft begins with sourced context, uses proof you can defend, follows the voice you taught it, and still stops at a gate.
The builder skill reads your own messages and emits the YAML: variables, subject, body, and a system instruction carrying your rules. Change how you sound by editing a file, not by re-prompting.
Public signals keep their source and date. The agent maps them to proof in your own project ledger and calls the result a value hypothesis, never a known pain point.
Before any draft or send, the body is scored against the template it claims to use. The check lives in guardrails/, so it holds even when the model is convinced it should not.
draft is the default path and the only thing batch runs do. Sending is a separate command with a required recipient, so nothing leaves by accident.
A template’s prefix selects its behavior: long-form attaches its files, short-form links them and holds a character cap the render is checked against.
Researched account fields map to template variables plus an email column. Preview a few rows, then draft the list with the same relevance and approval checks applied to every account.
Every draft is recorded by template and recipient. Past the third version of the same message, the agent stops and asks what is wrong. Usually the template, not the wording.
Every command prints structured JSON, which is why any harness can drive it, and why nothing here depends on a particular model or vendor.
The outbound GTM slice
This is not the whole GTM system. It is the research and outbound path between finding a credible reason to talk and deciding whether the message should leave.
Prospect signal
A role, launch, funding event, or product change worth examining.
Verified research
The agent keeps the public source, date, and exact fact it found.
Relevance match
Their signal is compared with proof from your own project ledger.
Your voice
A template gives the evidence your structure, tone, and ask.
The gate
Scores the body against that template. Below threshold, it stops.
Reviewable draft
The result waits in Gmail. You judge the hypothesis and press send.
Researching an account list? Each row keeps its source, fit hypothesis, and proof. Scale never bypasses the gate or the final review.
The harness is yours to pick.
The voice layer
Research decides why a prospect is relevant; this layer decides how you sound. The builder reads messages you have already sent, writes the rules into a template you can edit, and refuses to use anything that does not validate.
Paste messages you have actually sent, or point it at a folder of them. Three or four is enough for it to have something to read.
The builder skill separates what is fixed from what changes per person: how you open, how long you run, where the ask goes, the words you never use.
Out comes YAML: the variables, a subject and body, and a system instruction that tells the model to write the way you do rather than the way models write.
A template that does not validate cannot be used. Nothing enters your library because the model was confident about it.

There is no setup wizard and nothing to sign up for. Your agent reads the instructions in the repo and does the setup itself while you watch.
KrishBakshi/wingmateOne repo, yours to keep. It lives on your machine.
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, whichever one you already work in.
It installs what it needs, walks you through connecting your mail, and tells you when it is ready. You answer a couple of questions; it does the rest.
Show it a few messages you have sent and ask it to learn how you write.
Set a measurable filter. It verifies the round, keeps the amount, date, and source, then maps the company to work you can actually prove. Funding is a growth signal, not proof that the company is hiring.
