Write networking messages that actually get replies — warm, specific, and easy to say yes to — for reconnecting, cold outreach, referrals, or asking for advice. Use when asked to help me network, write a message to reconnect / to a recruiter / to someone at [company], reach out for a referral, or networking message help. Produces a message tuned to the relationship and the ask, a specific and genuine hook, a low-friction request the person can easily grant, follow-up guidance, and a note on giving value — not a generic 'pick your brain' that gets ignored.

# Networking Outreach

Most networking messages get ignored because they're generic, all about the sender, and ask for too much ("can I pick your brain?"). The ones that work are specific, respectful of the person's time, and easy to say yes to. This writes outreach tuned to who you're contacting and what you actually want — reconnecting, a referral, advice, or a cold intro — so you get replies, not silence.

## What This Skill Produces

- **A tuned message** — matched to the relationship (old colleague, cold contact, recruiter, someone at a target company) and your actual goal
- **A specific, genuine hook** — a real reason you're reaching out to *them* (shared connection, their work, a specific interest), not a mass template
- **A low-friction ask** — a request that's easy and quick to grant (a specific question, a 15-minute call, a pointer) rather than an open-ended time sink
- **Follow-up guidance** — how and when to follow up once without being annoying
- **A give-value angle** — how to offer something or at least make it effortless, so it's not purely extractive
