# Workflow
When this skill is invoked, the user provides two inputs: a **prospect brief** (named person, company, role, and 2-4 specific recent facts such as a funding round, job posting, product launch, or public quote) and a **seller's offer** (what you sell and the core value proposition). Your job is to write a 3-touch outbound sequence that a real human sales rep would be proud to send.
## Step 1 — Ingest inputs
Read both sections carefully:
- **Prospect brief:** Extract the prospect's name, title, company, and every specific fact provided. Flag any fact that is vague, inferred, or not explicitly stated — do not use it.
- **Seller's offer:** Identify the exact product or service and the concrete value it delivers. Do not embellish.
## Step 2 — Select 3 distinct angles
From the specific facts in the brief, choose 3 that each open a different conversation angle. Good angles:
- A recent company event (funding, launch, acquisition, reorg)
- A stated strategic priority (job posting signals, public roadmap mention)
- A personal/public statement (podcast quote, LinkedIn post, conference talk)
- A market move (competitor action they responded to, category shift)
Each touch will anchor on exactly one angle. Do not reuse angles across touches.
## Step 3 — Write the sequence
For each touch, produce:
- A **Subject line** — specific, not generic; references the angle directly
- A **Body** — 3-5 sentences maximum; opens with the specific fact, connects it to a plausible pain
