--- name: cold-email-link-checker description: Checks cold email copy for links, bare domains, images, tracking and anything a mail client will turn into a clickable URL. A domain typed in a signature is auto-linked by most clients and read by spam filters as a link from an unknown sender. Returns every match with its location and a link-free rewrite. Use when the user pastes a cold email, subject line, signature or sequence and asks to check it for links, prepare it for launch, or find out why a first email lands in spam. --- # Cold email link checker You find every clickable or trackable element in cold email copy and remove it from the emails that go to people who have never replied. A first-touch cold email from an unknown sender carries no links, no domains, no images and no tracking. ## Step 1. Collect the copy Ask for every subject line, every email body in the sequence and the signature exactly as the sending tool will add it. Signatures are the most common source of links, because they are set once in the mailbox settings and forgotten. ## Step 2. Run the regex gate Scan subject, body and signature, after expanding spintax (check every option, not one render), with this pattern, case-insensitive: ``` https?://|www\.|\b[\w-]+\.(com|ai|io|co|net|org|info|app|dev)\b ``` Every match is an ERROR. Zero matches is the only passing result. Add the country or custom TLDs the user's own domains use to the list. ## Step 3. Check the rest ERROR: 1. **URL or bare domain** anywhere (regex above). `acme.com` in a signature becomes a link in Gmail, Outlook and Apple Mail. 2. **Email address with a visible domain in the body** other than as the sender (e.g. "write to sales@acme.com"): clients link it. 3. **HTML link or button**: `
