| 17 | ## Execution Protocol |
| 18 | |
| 19 | ### Step 1: Load Context |
| 20 | Read the business profile for context: |
| 21 | - `email-profile.md` (project root) |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Load reference files for frameworks and benchmarks: |
| 24 | - `references/copy-frameworks.md` |
| 25 | - `references/benchmarks.md` |
| 26 | |
| 27 | ### Step 2: Gather Sequence Requirements |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Ask the user: |
| 30 | 1. **Sequence type**: welcome, nurture, re-engagement, abandoned-cart, post-purchase, review-request, or custom |
| 31 | 2. **If custom**: goal, trigger event, desired email count, preferred cadence, tone |
| 32 | |
| 33 | Confirm business context from profile: |
| 34 | - Industry |
| 35 | - Target audience |
| 36 | - Brand voice |
| 37 | - Primary offer/product |
| 38 | |
| 39 | ### Step 3: Design Sequence Architecture |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Based on sequence type, define: |
| 42 | - Total number of emails |
| 43 | - Timing between emails |
| 44 | - Framework assignment per email |
| 45 | - Conditional logic rules |
| 46 | - KPI targets |
| 47 | |
| 48 | ### Step 4: Generate Each Email |
| 49 | |
| 50 | For each email in sequence, create: |
| 51 | 1. **Position and timing**: Email X, Day Y or Hours after trigger |
| 52 | 2. **Subject lines**: 3 variants with scores (60-100) |
| 53 | 3. **Preheader text**: 30-80 characters |
| 54 | 4. **Email body**: Full copy following assigned framework |
| 55 | 5. **CTA**: Button text and link placeholder |
| 56 | 6. **Conditional logic**: What happens based on engagement |
| 57 | |
| 58 | ### Step 5: Add Implementation Guidance |
| 59 | |
| 60 | Include: |
| 61 | - Platform setup notes |
| 62 | - A/B test recommendations |
| 63 | - KPI benchmarks for this sequence type |
| 64 | - Segment considerations |
