mohitagw15856 036511ab3e Windsurf + Aider targets, MCP server, and demo placement (#33)
Broadens both reach (more tools) and content types (an MCP server), continuing
the multi-platform story.

Windsurf + Aider:
- build-exports.mjs gains two platforms: exports/windsurf/*.md (workspace rules,
  trigger: model_decision) and exports/aider/*.md (conventions for `aider --read`).
  Now 5 platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider).
- install.sh + bin/cli.mjs install both (windsurf -> .windsurf/rules, aider ->
  .aider/skills with a --read hint); generated README index is excluded from copies.
- One-line windsurf-install.sh / aider-install.sh wrappers for parity.

MCP server (new content type):
- mcp/server.mjs — zero-dependency stdio MCP server exposing list_skills,
  search_skills, get_skill. Published as a second bin (pm-claude-skills-mcp).
  Logs to stderr; reads bundled skills/ at startup. mcp/README.md documents
  client config.

Also: README hero "See it in action" demo placement (ready to swap in a GIF;
recording guide in web/docs-assets/README.md), Works-With table + exports +
install docs updated, CHANGELOG Unreleased. package.json files/bin updated.

Email Campaign Skill

This skill writes complete, sequenced email campaigns — from welcome flows to product launches to re-engagement sequences. Each email is written with subject line, preview text, full body copy, and CTA.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • Campaign goal (onboard new users / launch a product / nurture leads / re-engage churned users / announce a feature)
  • Audience (who receives this? job title, lifecycle stage, what they know already)
  • Product or offer being promoted or introduced
  • Number of emails in sequence (if unsure, recommend based on goal)
  • Tone (professional / conversational / bold / educational)
  • Sender name (person or brand?)

Sequence Recommendations by Goal

If the user hasn't specified number of emails, use these defaults:

  • Onboarding: 4 emails over 7 days (Day 0, Day 1, Day 3, Day 7)
  • Product launch: 3 emails (Teaser → Launch Day → Follow-up/Last chance)
  • Lead nurture: 5 emails over 2 weeks
  • Re-engagement: 3 emails (Gentle nudge → Value reminder → Final offer)
  • Feature announcement: 2 emails (Announcement → How-to/deep dive)

Output Structure Per Email

For every email in the sequence, produce:


Email [N] of [Total] — [Descriptive label e.g. "Welcome / Day 0"] Send timing: [When relative to trigger event or previous email]

Subject line: [Primary option] Subject line (A/B variant): [Alternative to test] Preview text: [4090 characters — adds context to the subject, doesn't repeat it]

Body:

[Full email copy — formatted with clear opening line, 23 body paragraphs, one primary CTA]

CTA button text: [36 words] CTA destination: [What page/action this should link to]

Strategic note: [Why this email does what it does — the psychological or strategic intent. 12 sentences.]


Writing Rules

  • Opening line must earn attention — no "Hi, welcome to [product]" openers
  • Each email has ONE primary CTA — never two competing asks
  • Keep paragraphs to 23 sentences maximum for mobile readability
  • Use "you" more than "we" — centre the reader, not the brand
  • Subject lines under 50 characters perform best on mobile — flag if going over
  • Preview text should add information the subject doesn't — never just repeat it
  • Every email should stand alone — assume some subscribers miss earlier emails

Quality Checks

  • Each email has a single clear CTA
  • Subject lines are under 50 characters (or flagged)
  • Preview text doesn't repeat the subject line
  • Opening line is specific and attention-earning
  • Sequence has logical narrative arc (doesn't feel like disconnected blasts)
  • Tone is consistent across all emails
  • Strategic notes explain the intent of each email

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not include more than one primary CTA per email — competing calls to action reduce click-through by splitting attention
  • Do not open with "Hi, welcome to [product]" or any variation of a generic greeting — the opening line must earn attention immediately or recipients stop reading
  • Do not write preview text that repeats the subject line — preview text is a second chance to earn the open, not a repeat of the first chance
  • Do not write a sequence where each email restates the same value proposition — each email must advance the narrative or serve a distinct purpose in the buyer's journey
  • Do not assume all subscribers receive all emails — each email must stand alone for subscribers who missed earlier messages in the sequence

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write a 3-email launch sequence for [product]"
  • "Build an onboarding email flow for [SaaS tool]"
  • "Create a drip campaign to nurture leads for [offer]"
  • "Write a re-engagement campaign for churned users"
