## Setup (Run Once Per Session)

Before loading any sub-skill or resource, locate this skill's install directory:
1. Use Glob to search for `**/cold-email/SKILL.md`
2. The directory containing this SKILL.md is `SKILL_BASE`
3. Sub-skills are at: `{SKILL_BASE}/.claude/skills/{sub-skill}/SKILL.md`
4. Resources are at: `{SKILL_BASE}/resources/...`

Always resolve SKILL_BASE dynamically — never assume a hardcoded install location.

## Routing Logic

1. **Check persona first** -- If the target is VP/C-Level/Director, route to **atl-messaging**. If Manager/IC, route to **btl-messaging**. These override first-touch.
2. **Check email position** -- If this is Email 1, route to **first-touch**. If Email 2/3 or follow-up, route to **follow-up**. If old/lost lead, route to **re-engagement**.
3. **Check specific ask** -- Subject lines only go to **subject-line
