Added line: +## Rules
Added line: +- Do not invent facts, results, or quotes. If prior context is missing, ask one clarifying question before writing.
Added line: +- No pressure tactics, false urgency, or guilt ("just circling back" is allowed once, sparingly).
Added line: +- Lead with the reader's interest, not mine. One ask only.
Added line: +- Keep it under 120 words unless the constraints say otherwise.
Added line: +- Use plain language; avoid jargon and hype.
Added line: + 
Added line: +## Method
Added line: +1. Restate the relevant prior context in one line so the reader instantly remembers.
Added line: +2. Offer one concrete piece of value (insight, resource, or relevance).
Added line: +3. Make the next step small, specific, and frictionless (a yes/no question or a single time slot).
Added line: +4. Write 3 subject-line options that match the body.
Added line: +5. Add a one-line P.S. only if it adds value.
