The bait, then the rug-pull.
Eric Nowoslawski is giving away the entire Claude Code skill bundle his agency uses to do 200-300 positive replies a day — every campaign strategy, every list-builder, every copywriting and personalization sub-agent. The pitch is simple and rare: it's 28 connected skills that hand off to each other, the API keys are stripped, and you run the whole thing inside your existing Claude Code plan instead of paying per-token through Clay.
What the video promised.

Where the time goes.

01 · Cold open + promise
Eric promises a Claude Code system that runs your entire cold outbound campaign without spending your own AI tokens — and says he's giving it away for free in the video.

02 · Who Eric is + why Claude Code
Founder of Growth Engine X (200-300 positive responses/day for clients). Five months obsessed with Claude Code. He pulled every skill they've built, stripped the API keys, and packaged it for the audience.

03 · What a Claude skill is
A skill is an instruction manual for an AI agent — explicit step-by-step procedure so Claude doesn't go grab 'the craziest blog post' on cold email. It follows your documented skill instead.

04 · How to install the repo
GitHub repo link goes in the video description. Paste the top-line link into Claude Code and say 'download these skills' — it provisions everything for you.

05 · Three things every campaign needs
1) Email infrastructure + warm inboxes. 2) A list of your ICP. 3) Something to actually say to them. The first skill onboards you on infra (Dynadot domains, Zapmail inboxes); the rest builds the list and the copy.

06 · The five strategy skills
/cold-email-kickoff orchestrates: ICP onboarding, lead-magnet brainstorm, campaign strategy, and campaign copywriting. One command, hands off to the next.

07 · Infrastructure + list-building + copy skills
Infra skills auto-configure Dynadot, Zapmail and Smartlead. List-building uses Prospeo, Blitz, Disco-Like, Google Maps. ICP prompt builder loops to qualify each company. Then a spam-word checker, spin-text creator, and Smartlead campaign uploader.

08 · Walking the kickoff in the terminal
Live Claude Code terminal — /cold-email-kickoff. First step is the infrastructure status check: do you have Smartlead, a Prospeo key, a MillionVerifier key? If yes, move to ICP onboarding.

09 · Picking the example brand — vibe.co
Eric demos against vibe.co (self-serve CTV ads, 'Meta Ads Manager for TV') — a brand he'd love to land but doesn't work with yet. Claude pulls a public profile of vibe.co and proposes an ICP without any input.

10 · The 12-question ICP interview
Skill asks 12 questions: what they sell, best customer, target job titles, headcount range, industries in/out, geographies, triggers, domains to disqualify, the offer. Claude pre-fills answers from the public profile and asks you to confirm.

11 · Triggers + offer + lead magnet
Claude proposes triggers (recent funding, recent hire, heavy Meta/Google spend, Shopify/Klaviyo installed, recent product launch). Offer locked in: $200 of free advertising. Lead magnet noted.

12 · The 25-idea campaign strategy doc
Skill writes a campaign-strategy.md with 15-25 campaign concepts — name, targeting level, list filters, AI strategy, value prop, overview. Examples: 'Creative ideas for Shopify DTC', 'Meta Fatigue', 'Recent Fundraiser'.

13 · Sample list already pulled
Claude auto-pulls a sample list of CEOs, founders, and marketing leaders at DTC companies (furniture, home furnishings, consumer goods) so you can eyeball quality before a full export.

14 · Where you are in the flow
Status check inside the terminal: infra confirmed, ICP onboarded, lead magnet stored, 25 strategies queued, sample list pulled. Next: pick a campaign and write the copy.

15 · Picking a campaign — Blindster Lookalike
Claude recommends 'List B' (Golden ICP, Blindster Lookalike, etc.). Eric picks Blindster Lookalike — DTC home-improvement brands on Shopify, 10-150 employees, strong UGC presence.

16 · Step 1 — Campaign direction (confirm-before-write)
The big copywriting fix: instead of dumping three drafts, the skill asks you to approve direction first — target audience, core pain point, value prop, proof point, campaign angle. Buy-in at every checkpoint.
17 · Step 2 — Subject + first line strategy
Claude proposes three subject/first-line variants. Eric rejects the fake-exclusivity one, picks the casual conversational one ('Quick one — are you running TV ads for {company} yet?'). He notes WhisperFlow is the right input tool when you want to redirect.
18 · Step 3 — Value prop + CTA + final copy
Confirm value prop (CTV is a second channel, not a Meta replacement). Confirm CTA. Then Claude writes the final copy: three subject options, three opening lines, full body for email 1, 2, 3 with variants. QA checklist included — no em-dashes, word counts, banned phrases.
19 · Status check + next-action menu
Skill recaps progress (infra ✓ ICP ✓ lead magnet ✓ 25 strategies ✓ sample ✓ copy ✓) and offers next steps: upload to Smartlead as DRAFT, build the full list, run spam-word checker, write copy for a second campaign, or pause and ship later.
20 · THE biggest hack — sub-agent personalization
Tell Claude Code to spin up a Task sub-agent to write the AI personalization lines. Eric wrote 100,000 personalization lines in one day on a $200/month Claude plan — about $70 in tokens, inside his daily limit. Replaces Clay's per-token spend.
21 · Sample personalizations + WhisperFlow redirects
Walking real generated lines for Baby Delight, Green Attics, Modloft. He shows how to talk back to the prompt in plain English when a line feels too AI ('nobody says unwinding on the couch') — the skill rewrites until two consecutive lines pass review before locking the prompt.
22 · Install + CTA
Drop the GitHub link into Claude Code or Codex with 'install these skills for me' and you're done. Asks for comments on whether to keep giving away big bundles like this.
Visual structure at a glance.
Named ideas worth stealing.
Three things every cold email campaign needs
- Email infrastructure + warm inboxes
- A list of your ICP
- Something to say to them
Eric's mental model for ordering everything. Infra is one-time; list + copy is where the skill bundle spends its energy.
The 28-Skill Cold Outbound Bundle
- Strategy (5 skills) — cold-email-kickoff, ICP onboarding, lead-magnet brainstorm, campaign strategy, copywriting
- Infrastructure (4 skills) — Dynadot, Zapmail, Smartlead inbox manager, deliverability audit
- List building (8 skills) — Prospeo full-export + search-api, Blitz, Disco-Like, Google Maps, competitor-engagers, ICP prompt builder, list-quality scorecard
- Copy & send (4 skills) — cold-email starter kit, spam-word checker, smartlead-spintax, smartlead-campaign-upload
- Iterate & automate (7 skills) — positive-reply learner, deliverability test, experiment design, personalization sub-agent
The full architecture of the repo — five tracks, 28 skills, every one hands off to the next.
12-question ICP onboarding interview
- What they sell
- Single biggest customer
- Job titles
- Headcount range
- Industries in
- Industries out
- Geographies
- Triggers that matter
- Domains to disqualify
- Offer / what you're asking for
- Lead magnet
- CTA
Twelve specific questions, in order. Claude pre-fills from the public site and asks you to confirm/edit — not write from scratch.
Confirm-before-write copywriting loop
Instead of generating three full drafts, the skill asks you to approve direction → subject line strategy → value prop → CTA → THEN writes final copy. Buy-in at every checkpoint means you never get a finished draft that's pointing the wrong way.
Sub-agent personalization loop
Spin up a Task sub-agent inside Claude Code to write the AI personalization line. Iterate the prompt in natural language until two consecutive lines pass review, then lock the prompt and run it across the full list. 100K lines/day inside a $200/month Claude plan.
Lines you could clip.
“I'm gonna show you how to use it and give away the entire system for free in this video.”
“A Claude skill is just an instruction manual made for an AI agent so that you can give it distinct instructions that it'll follow step by step.”
“I wanted AI to tell me, hey, this is the direction I think I wanna take. Can you confirm? Then I confirm. And then it says, okay, that means the first line is gonna look like this.”
“I've written a hundred thousand lines in one day on a $200 a month Claude code plan. That was maybe $70 in AI tokens.”
“Some people say AI personalization doesn't work. They can see through it. It's just because your prompt isn't good enough.”
How they spent the runtime.
Things they pointed at.
How they asked for the click.
“It is literally as simple as going to this link — growthengine, Nowoslawski, Cold Outbound Skills — and copy this link into Claude Code or into Codex, and say 'hey, install these skills for me'. You'll get access to everything.”
Soft, value-first CTA — no email gate, no 'book a call', just a public GitHub link. The whole video already delivered the value; the CTA is permission to claim it. He also asks for comments on whether to keep giving away big bundles, which is a smart engagement nudge.
Word for word.
Steal the architecture, not just the skills.
Eric's bundle works because the skills hand off to each other in a fixed order — not because any single skill is magic. That's the unlock for your own /lfb-line, /clip-lab, /mod-producer ecosystems.
- Build skill bundles as a track structure: Strategy → Setup → Source → Make → Iterate. Five tracks, every track ends by handing the next track its inputs.
- Always start a flow with an infrastructure status check — 'do you have X, Y, Z?' — before any content work. Saves the user from typing into a dead end.
- Replace 'spit out three full drafts' with confirm-before-write: ask for direction, get a 'confirm', THEN produce. Apply to every AI generator in the MCN stack.
- Use Task sub-agents for high-volume AI fields (first lines, hook variants, ad headlines). $200/month plan, ~100K outputs/day inside daily limits — kills Clay-style per-token spend.
- End every interactive flow with a status recap and a next-action menu: 'here's what we did, here are the four things we could do next.' The menu reduces decision fatigue and keeps the user inside the skill.
- Soft CTA = paste a GitHub link in. No tally form, no calendar gate, no waitlist. The give-away is the marketing.
- Pattern-match this for /killing-excuses: a video that gives away the whole bundle of how-to-shoot-it skills (locations, outfit progression, escalation axes) becomes the sales asset for the LFB Line offer.
If you're going to install these skills.
Spend 30 minutes on the install + onboarding before you try to run a real campaign — most of the value compounds on the second campaign, not the first.
- Read the GitHub README before you run /cold-email-kickoff — knowing which keys it expects (Smartlead, Prospeo, MillionVerifier) saves you from being interrupted mid-onboarding.
- Run it once on a fake brand (like Eric demos vibe.co) before you point it at your own business. You'll see how the flow behaves without the pressure of perfect answers.
- Treat the 12-question ICP interview as the actual product. Confirm or correct each pre-filled answer — don't auto-accept.
- When the copywriting feels too AI, talk back in plain English ('nobody says X, make it more casual'). The skill is designed for redirects, not single-shot perfection.
- Don't skip the sub-agent personalization step. That's where the real cost savings (vs Clay) live — running it inside your existing Claude plan instead of paying per-token elsewhere.
- Keep WhisperFlow (or any voice-to-text) on your desktop while you run it — typing long redirects into a terminal is the bottleneck.
