Influencer Outreach Writer: Creator Messages That Don't Read Like a Template (Free Claude Skill)

Creators get dozens of copy-pasted pitches a week and can spot a template in about one second. "I love your content" is the fastest way to land in the ignore pile, no matter how good the offer behind it is.

What it does

Influencer Outreach Writer runs on one rule that decides everything: every message has to reference something real and specific from the creator's actual content, a recent post, a recurring topic, an angle they took. Generic compliments are banned outright. For each creator, it produces:

• A first message on whichever channel makes sense for them
• A short DM version as a fallback if the first contact is email, and vice versa
• An email version with two subject line options, each referencing the creator's content
• A four-touch follow-up sequence: new value at day 3-5, a channel switch at day 7-10, a no-pressure close at day 14-21, then it stops. "Just checking in" is banned; every touch has to add something new
• A personalization rationale, two lines on which real details were used and why, so you learn the pattern instead of just getting output
• A tracking table once you're running more than three creators, with the funnel metrics worth watching (open rate, reply rate, calls booked, cost per secured creator), so you can diagnose what's actually broken. High opens with no replies means the subject line works and the offer doesn't

Register gets matched to the person, not your brand guidelines: TikTok creators get casual, under 100 words, with "paid" stated early since they drown in gifting spam. Instagram gets warm and specific, under 150 words, without pitching compensation in message one. LinkedIn experts get professional respect for their ideas, not just a pitch about your brand's needs. And critically, outreach gets written in the creator's actual language, checked to read natively, since a half-English pitch to a Dutch or French creator reads as automated faster than almost anything else.

It never fabricates familiarity ("long-time fan") unless it's true, and if you ask for bulk output across many creators, it varies the referenced content per creator rather than swapping in a name on the same template, since that's the entire point of the skill.

How to install

1. Download the ZIP.
2. In Claude, go to Settings > Customize > Skills.
3. Click the + button, then Create skill.
4. Upload the ZIP (it needs the skill folder itself at the root, not just the files inside it).
5. Toggle it on.

Next time you want to DM a creator, draft a collab email, or personalize outreach across a list, it uses the skill automatically. No need to reference it by name.

Who it's for

Anyone whose outreach gets ignored, or anyone about to send their first pitch and wants it to not look like everyone else's. Personalization quality is capped by input quality; researching each creator's content by hand doesn't scale past a handful of names. Favikon's outreach feature and contact enrichment surface per-creator topics, niches, and verified emails at an 82% match rate, turning what would be an afternoon of manual profile-digging into the input this skill needs to write fifty handwritten-quality messages instead of one template with names swapped.
