# Write DM Most LinkedIn DMs are either generic templates ("I'd love to connect and explore synergies") or so over-engineered with fake personalization that the recipient can smell the AI on first read. This skill exists to write DMs that sound like the user, are short enough to actually be read, and ask for something specific instead of dancing around it. ## Why this skill exists LinkedIn DM volume has exploded with AI-assisted outreach tools, and recipients are now numb to the standard patterns. The "I noticed you went to [school] and I also love [random shared interest], let's hop on a quick call" template is dead. Response rates on templated cold DMs have collapsed. What still works: short, specific, honest messages from one person to another. This skill exists to write those, not to scale outreach. ## When to use this skill Trigger when: - The user wants to send a connection request with a note - The user wants to send a cold outreach DM to one specific person - The user wants to follow up on a message that went unanswered - The user wants to reply to a DM they received - The user wants to thank someone after a meeting or call Do NOT trigger when: - The user wants to write a public post. Send to write-post. - The user wants to scale outreach (sending 100 similar DMs). Refuse politely. Mass templated outreach is what killed DM response rates; this skill writes one good message at a time. - The user wants to write a comment. Send to write-comment. ## What you need
