OutboundSync Agent Skills are now available

TL;DR. OutboundSync Agent Skills are live. Install the MIT pack with npx or from GitHub, then run OutboundSync playbooks — preflight checks, CRM analysis, cold copy, deliverability, and directory lookups — inside Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and other supported agent tools. Watch the walkthrough below, then read the Skills docs.

After we shipped the OutboundSync API in public beta, the next question was how teams use those endpoints where campaign work already happens. More of that work sits in agentic coding environments. Skills package the playbooks so your agent knows how to work with OutboundSync — the API, connection health, and what we have learned shipping outbound for agencies and GTM teams.

What’s in the pack

The public pack ships 11 skills in four categories. Browse every skill on the catalog.

Launch and CRM analysis. Preflight is a read-only launch check: CRM OAuth, sources and sync, and (when it can) mailboxes, webhooks, and campaigns on your sales engagement platforms. CRM analysis looks at engagement fields already in HubSpot or Salesforce so you can see how campaigns performed after the fact.

Copy and identity. Skills for auditing or drafting outbound offers, cold email bodies, subject lines, social connection requests, and email aliases.

Deliverability. Email authentication covers SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for sending domains. Sending domain quality covers TLD, name quality, age, and reputation for cold outbound.

Directory. When you are stuck and want help, or need to know whether OutboundSync connects a tool to your CRM, the agencies and integrations skills point at the directories on our site — vetted agency partners with active clients, plus the integrations roster (live, beta, and coming soon).

How to install

The usual path is npx skills. Full setup for Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and other harnesses is in Install skills.

# Full catalog from the well-known mirror
npx skills add https://outboundsync.com

# Or install from the GitHub pack (same skills)
npx skills add outboundsync/skills -g

# One skill by name
npx skills add outboundsync/skills --skill preflight -g

Preflight only needs credentials. Create a key under Connected Accounts → API keys, then set OUTBOUNDSYNC_API_KEY in your environment. Never print, log, or commit the key. Source of truth for the pack is github.com/outboundsync/skills (MIT). The site’s well-known skills index is the same catalog as a publish mirror.

What’s next

Skills are one piece of a longer shipping wave. Next up are webhook and sync observability APIs so you can track errors through data sync — the layer that confirms the pipeline is doing what you expect. Longer term, we want those playbooks to draw on what we learn across the platform, not only inside one campaign or CRM.

For now: install the pack and run better outbound where you already work.

Frequently asked questions

What are OutboundSync Agent Skills?

OutboundSync Agent Skills are installable playbooks for AI coding agents. They teach Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and other supported harnesses how to run OutboundSync workflows — launch readiness, CRM analysis, outbound copy, deliverability checks, and directory lookups — using the public Agent Skills format.

How do I install them?

Use npx skills. Install the full pack with npx skills add https://outboundsync.com or npx skills add outboundsync/skills -g. You can also install a single skill by name. Full steps are in Install skills.

Do I need an API key?

Only for Preflight. Create an OutboundSync API key and set OUTBOUNDSYNC_API_KEY in your environment. CRM analysis reads engagement fields already in HubSpot or Salesforce and does not call the OutboundSync API. Copy, deliverability, and directory skills do not require a key.

Which skills ship today?

Eleven skills across four categories: Launch and CRM analysis (Preflight, CRM analysis); Copy and identity (outbound offer, cold email body, cold email subject lines, connection requests, email aliases); Deliverability (email authentication, sending domain quality); and Directory (agencies, integrations). Browse them on the Skills catalog.

Are they open source?

Yes. The pack lives at github.com/outboundsync/skills under an MIT license. Fork it, open a pull request, or install from the well-known mirror on outboundsync.com.

Which tools work with OutboundSync Agent Skills?

Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex are the primary harnesses covered in the install docs. Other supported harnesses, including OpenClaw notes for CRM analysis, are documented on Install skills.

Transcript

0:00 I am proud to announce Skills, now available from OutboundSync. I’m going to walk you through what this looks like.

0:08 Just two weeks ago, we released the OutboundSync API, starting with a set of operator-focused endpoints. Now, we’re releasing a package of Skills that are available in npx and also in GitHub, open source, under an MIT license.

0:21 And the idea is that you are going to be able to use Skills to use these new API endpoints and some of the knowledge that we’ve learned over the years, right inside of Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or wherever you’re doing your agentic coding work.

0:35 So, I’m going to move myself out of the way here, and I’m going to show you how this works and why we’re excited about it.

0:42 So, like I mentioned, this is published online, it’s on GitHub, but we’ve also got the documentation on our site that shows how you can get this.

0:48 And the idea is that when you pull up Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and these tools, you’re going to be able to tell it basically how to work with OutboundSync.

0:59 And that means how to use our API endpoints, how to make sure your connection is live. Not only is our platform up, but your specific connection is up, and troubleshoot that.

1:10 We’re going to be introducing webhooks and several new APIs. API endpoints for webhooks in the next couple of weeks, that’ll allow you to track any errors through data sync and basically that observability layer to make sure that everything is running the way it should.

1:22 So we’re going to be adding more and more and more ways to interact with our product and not only our product, but the tools that are adjacent to OutboundSync.

1:31 The skills are going to help you do that, build better campaigns, analyze the results of your campaigns. And I’m going to show you just how we’re starting to scratch the surface there.

1:40 I’m on OutboundSync.com. I’m in the docs section of the website and here you can see we’ve got these in four major categories.

1:48 The first one is launch and CRM analysis. Here this is a pre-flight check and it also helps you see after the fact how your campaigns are going.

1:56 This is a full specified skill and basically once you have this downloaded on your machine, or in your cloud environment, your agents will be able to use this to run these specific playbooks.

2:08 We’ve also got copywriting and identity around developing offers, cold email, subject line and body, sending connection requests on social, or how to set up email aliases even.

2:19 And then deliverability is going to cover email authentication, sending domain quality. And finally, we’ve got the directories. Now, in OutboundSync’s website, we have a directory of about 60 agencies we work with.

2:31 And we also have a directory of over 60 different integrations. Some are fully live, some are in beta, some are coming soon.

2:39 These directory skills are going to help you. If you’re getting stuck on a problem and you want an agency to help you, well, guess what?

2:45 This skill will help you identify one of those agencies that we work with. They’re valuable. They’re vetted and they have active clients working with us right now and they can jump in and help you solve that problem, improve your reply rate, fix your inbox issue, or maybe figure out how to orchestrate omnichannel across email, social, and maybe even paid ads. The idea is that we want to take all the things that we’ve learned in our platform and make this very readily available to you and to your team so you can ship better campaigns right where you’re working.

3:13 Now, the exciting thing is that this is based on principles of what we’ve learned. Soon, we’re going to be opening up our whole global data set and making these strategic insights available so that you will be able to apply lessons not only within specific campaigns or within your CRM, but even tapping everything that we’ve learned across all of the users and our platform. So, this is where we’re going. We want to help you get better results.

3:42 Know what outbound is doing. Know what’s working. Know what’s not. And grow your business. So, Skills is just the latest of a set of things that we’re going to be shipping over the next few months and really through the end of the year.

3:53 We’re really, really excited about what’s next. But practically speaking, right now, today, we want to help you run better outbound.

3:59 So check it out. Go to outboundsync.com. If you go to the Docs section, you can see the Skills Catalog. You can see how to actually install them and set them up.

4:06 Or, you can find us on GitHub. And you can make your own copy. Fork it. Submit a pull request. What would you change?

4:12 You know, we’d love to know what ideas you have and how to make this better. Because we’re all in this to win.

4:18 We want to help you win. And thanks for checking out what we’re working on lately. Appreciate your time. Good luck.

4:23 Thank you.
