Warm Intro Draft
Draft the ask for your connector
Intro Path finds the chain. This skill writes the message. Give it a target and Warm Intro Draft pulls your relationship history with the connector, researches the target, and drafts a personalized ask — plus a forwardable blurb the connector can send along. The tone adjusts to match how well you actually know the person.
Just say:
"Draft an intro request to reach the VP of Eng at Stripe through Sarah"
"I need a warm intro to Marcus at Endurance IT"

Write a warm introduction request for $ARGUMENTS.
Follow these steps:
1. **Find the intro path.** If the user hasn't already run Intro Path, use `hidn_find_intro_path` with the target person or org. Set `max_hops=3`.
2. **Select the best connector.** From the intro path results, pick the strongest link — prioritize connectors you've spoken to recently and who actually know the target well. Use `hidn_get_profile` on the connector to pull their full context.
3. **Pull connector relationship history.** Use `hidn_list_activities` filtered to the connector to see your recent interactions — what you talked about, when you last spoke, any open threads. This context makes your ask feel natural, not transactional.
4. **Research the target.** Use `hidn_get_profile` on the target person. If they're at a specific company, use `hidn_get_org` and `hidn_get_org_network` to understand their role and the broader org context. Pull any notes, activities, or shared connections.
5. **Draft the intro request.** Write a message from the user to the connector that:
- Opens with something personal or relevant to your last interaction
- Explains who you want to meet and why (keep it to 1-2 sentences)
- Gives the connector enough context about the target to make the intro easy
- Includes a suggested blurb the connector can forward ("Feel free to forward this" or a draft they can send)
- Keeps it short — connectors are doing you a favor
6. **Adjust tone.** If the connector is a close contact (high importance, frequent activity), be casual. If they're a professional acquaintance (low activity, medium importance), be more formal. Match the relationship.
7. **Log and remind.** Optionally use `hidn_create_activity` to log the outreach and `hidn_create_reminder` to set a follow-up if you don't hear back in a week.
