  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by kostja94 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Email Marketing AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/kostja94/marketing-skills.git /tmp/marketing-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/marketing-skills/skills/channels/owned/email-marketing .claude/skills/email-marketing
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Email Marketing in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Email Marketing on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Email Marketing is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Channels: Email Marketing

Guides email marketing strategy for AI/SaaS products. Email ROI ~$36 per dollar spent; open/click rates typically higher than social. Covers EDM vs Newsletter, five content types, deliverability (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and SEO synergy via article delivery.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1-2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for audience and content strategy. See content-marketing for content types and formats across channels.

Identify:

  1. Goal: Retention, conversion, brand reach, or SEO synergy
  2. Content mix: Onboarding, campaign, announcement, features, newsletter
  3. List size: Bulk sender rules (5,000+/day) require Gmail/Yahoo compliance

EDM vs Newsletter

TypePurposeUse
EDMDirect marketing; conversion-focusedPromotions, campaigns, announcements; bulk sends
NewsletterOngoing value; relationshipIndustry insights, curated articles; regular cadence

Combine both: EDM for push; Newsletter for nurture. Cover different stages and goals.

Five Content Types

TypeUse
OnboardingWelcome + first-use guidance; 5-7 day sequence; behavior-triggered; drive "Aha!" moment
CampaignPromotions, limited-time; conversion or participation
AnnouncementProduct launch, major update; one-time important notice
Features updateNew features, improvements; help users adopt
Blog/NewsletterCurated articles, industry insights; sustained touch

User Best Practices

PracticeGuideline
PersonalizationSegment by behavior, source, stage; boosts open/click
TimingNew users: dense; existing: controlled pace; behavior-triggered > calendar-only
Welcome seriesSend soon after signup; 5-7 emails over days; guide first key action
UnsubscribeOne-click required (Gmail/Yahoo); honor within 48h; clear entry
Complaint rateKeep below 0.3%; list hygiene critical

Content Best Practices

PracticeGuideline
SubjectOne clear topic per email; avoid pure promo
Value firstUseful info before promotion
CTASingle primary CTA; clear next step
Mobile50%+ read on mobile; responsive layout, tappable links

Deliverability & Domain Config

Subdomain: Use subdomain (e.g. mail.example.com) for marketing; keep transactional (support@, etc.) on main domain. Isolate risk.

SPF, DKIM, DMARC

ProtocolPurpose
SPFAuthorizes mail servers for domain
DKIMCryptographic signature; verifies sender
DMARCPolicy for unauthenticated mail; start p=none, then quarantine, then reject over 60-90 days

Order: SPF first, then DKIM, then DMARC. Gmail/Yahoo require all three for bulk senders (5,000+/day) since Feb 2024.

Advanced: TLS-RPT, MTA-STS, BIMI (brand logo). Postmaster Tools: Monitor deliverability, spam rate, auth status.

Delivery Strategy: Articles + SEO Synergy

Article TypeUse
RetentionDeep content for existing users; improve retention
ToFuTop of funnel; awareness (trends, concepts, problem framing)
MoFuMiddle of funnel; consideration (comparisons, reviews, best practices)

Dual value: (1) Better email engagement (open, click, stickiness); (2) Drive traffic to article pages from non-search channel; signals to Google that users value content; supports SEO.

Measurement: GA4 email source traffic to article pages; GSC rank/click changes.

Planning Framework

  1. Content mix: Allocate onboarding, campaign, announcement, features, newsletter
  2. Select articles: Pick retention, ToFu, MoFu from blog; prioritize SEO target pages
  3. Cadence: Stable frequency (weekly/biweekly/monthly); avoid over-sending
  4. Monitor: Open rate, click rate; GA4 email contribution to article traffic; GSC

Frequency

GuidelineNote
Baseline1 high-value email/week for most brands
Peak timesTue-Thu, 8-11am or 2-4pm (recipient timezone)
SegmentationNew vs loyal need different cadence
QualityRelevant, behavior-triggered > calendar volume

Data: ~36% send 1-3/month; ~30% weekly; daily risks high unsubscribe.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Email Marketing AI skill do?

Why use Email Marketing on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Email Marketing is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Email Marketing in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/kostja94/marketing-skills/tree/main/skills/channels/owned/email-marketing. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Email Marketing?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Email Marketing?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Email Marketing with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Email Marketing AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by kostja94 under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
