Individual skill
referral-request
Write a short message asking someone at a target company for a referral or a conversation, sized to how well the person knows them, with an easy way to say no. Use when asked how do I ask for a referral, message someone at Google about a job, ask a former colleague to refer me, or write a LinkedIn message to an employee. Produces the message for the right channel and relationship strength, a ready-to-forward blurb the referrer can paste, and a single follow-up. For general networking, see networking-outreach.

# Referral Request
A referral often beats any CV improvement, and the ask is small if it is easy to say yes to. This skill writes a short message sized to the relationship, attaches a blurb the referrer can forward without rewriting, and makes saying no painless.
Part of the pm-cv bundle. For broader networking messages, see `networking-outreach`.
## What This Skill Produces
- **The message**, for the channel (email, LinkedIn, WeChat, text) and the relationship
- **A forwardable blurb**: three lines the referrer can paste into an internal referral form
- **One follow-up**, for a week later
## Required Inputs
