Build a sourced prospect list and draft emails you send yourself

Idea + starter prompt, not run by us yet

For: Founders and consultants who do their own outreach and want better-researched lists

For each campaign the author kept a folder holding a CLAUDE.md of rules plus a contact log. Working in his signed-in Chrome, Claude Code began from a few seed pages and clicked through to build a target list, with a source link on every row. It then opened draft emails that he checked and sent personally.

Steps

1. Send the very first email yourself and keep it as the model for the rest.
2. Set up a folder for the campaign and add a CLAUDE.md with your rules and a contact log.
3. Give Claude Code two or three seed pages to start from.
4. Check that every row has a source link, so no personal line is made up.
5. Read and send each draft yourself, then log replies.

Starter prompt

Read CLAUDE.md in this campaign folder for my rules and the email template.

Start from these pages: [seed page links]. Find people who match [target description]. For each person, add a row with name, role, company, why they fit and the source link for each fact. Stop at [number] rows.

Show me the list first. Then draft one email per person using my template. Only use facts with a source link. Do not send anything. I will read and send each email myself.
