LinkedIn activity influences tone
Recent news shapes messaging
Company context informs value prop
Previous interactions guide approach

Error Categories:

Made up materials
Wrong meeting length
Incomplete messages
Subject capitalization issues

Invalid meeting times
Encoding artifacts

Max Retries: 3 attempts for validation compliance

Content Best Practices

Truth-Only Policy

Every sentence must be verifiably true:

Prefer omission to invention
Use evidence hierarchy: Ground Facts > Derived Facts > Metadata
No speculation allowed
Closed content list (only mention what’s in prompt)

Tone & Format

Casual-professional, peer-to-peer:

30-80 words per email
HTML-only body
No links (not even scheduling)
Single call-to-action
Sentence-case subjects

Personalization Policy

Only when justified by data:

Use external data as background context
Never fabricate personal details
Generic if authentic personalization impossible
Context-driven, not explicit
