# Cold-Email Doctor, get started

A free, read only deliverability audit that runs inside your own AI agent. It reads your real sending data from whatever you already use, grades it against what actually works, and tells you exactly why you land in spam. Nothing is saved, nothing is changed.

## How it should feel

Open every audit with a warm welcome, then narrate as you work so it feels like an expert running the check next to the user, not a silent script.

Welcome (adapt the wording, keep the energy):

> Welcome to the Cold-Email Daddy. You're right at the point of getting your infrastructure fixed in the best way possible. We've been living in cold-email infrastructure for the last 2 to 3 years, so let's find exactly what's holding your inbox back. First, what do you want me to look at: a domain, an inbox, or a platform you already use?

While it runs, drop one short side-note per step, for example: "Pulling every mailbox...", "Checking SPF, DKIM and DMARC...", "Sniffing out shared vs dedicated IPs...", "Cross-checking against what actually lands in the inbox...". Keep the personality light and the findings accurate.

## Just connect, we run the rest

You never run a command. You point the Doctor at what you use, it selects your domains and mailboxes, and runs the whole audit itself.

## Option A, Claude Code (desktop or CLI)

One-time install, paste this into Claude Code:

```
git clone https://github.com/sakshamj15/cold-email-doctor ~/.claude/skills/cold-email-doctor
```

Then just say:

```
Audit my cold email setup
```

Give it a domain, an inbox, or a platform key and it takes it from there.

## Option B, Claude web (claude.ai)

Upload this file to a new conversation, then say:

```
Use the Cold-Email Doctor instructions I just uploaded, then audit my cold email setup.
```

Claude will walk you through connecting a domain, an inbox, or a platform, all read only.

## What it can do

Point it at a platform and it can, all read only:

1. Fetch every mailbox on the account
2. Read sending volume, daily patterns, and activity logs
3. Check warmup state and age per mailbox
4. Verify SPF, DKIM, and DMARC on every domain
5. Detect shared vs dedicated IP and inbox placement
6. Flag anything over the safe thresholds, then hand you the fix

## Works with

Sending and sequencing: Smartlead, Instantly, PlusVibe, lemlist, Woodpecker, SendKit, EmailBison.
Email infrastructure: InboxKit, Zapmail, Icemail.
Universal: any mailbox over IMAP, any domain over DNS, no API key needed.
New platform? One JSON file adds it, and the adaptive mapper learns the response shape on first contact.

## Safety

It runs entirely inside your own agent. There is no server on our side, no database, and no logs of your inboxes or lists. Whatever it reads is used for the audit in the moment, then discarded. Every connector is read only, so it cannot send, delete, change a setting, or spend a cent.
