Write the difficult email in three minutes, not three hours.
The Skill that turns the email you're avoiding into three drafts — each pursuing a different outcome, each with the reasoning made explicit. Drop in the situation, get back the three real options. Pick the one you can defend.
You know the email. The negotiation push-back. The bad news to a client. The follow-up that has to land. The decline that can't sound like a brush-off. You sit with it for an hour because you can't tell which version of yourself you want to send. Soft? Direct? Apologetic? Firm? Strategic Email makes the three versions visible. You drop in the situation — what's happened, what you want, what they want. The Skill produces three complete drafts, each pursuing a different outcome ('preserve the relationship' vs 'force a decision' vs 'create urgency'), with explicit reasoning about which to use when. You pick. You send. You move on with your day.
What it actually does.
You're an agency owner. A client is six weeks late paying a £12k invoice. They've stopped replying to your finance team. You need to escalate but they're a strategic logo you'd rather not lose.
- →Draft A — Preserve the relationship — assumes good faith, offers a payment plan, signals you're problem-solving.
- →Draft B — Force the decision — names the impasse, sets a deadline, makes the consequence explicit.
- →Draft C — Quiet escalation — copies in their CEO without saying so, raises the temperature without breaking it.
Each draft 150–200 words. Each with a 'use this when…' note.
You pick C, edit one paragraph, send it. They reply within 24 hours.

Before you buy.
How is this different from just asking Claude directly?
Ask Claude to 'write a difficult email' and you get one draft in whatever tone it guesses you want. Strategic Email forces the harder, more useful step first: it names three different outcomes you could be pursuing, writes a complete send-ready draft for each, and tells you when to use which. The value isn't the prose — it's being shown the three versions of yourself before you commit to one.
Will this work with ChatGPT, Gemini, and other LLMs?
Yes. You get a native Claude Skill (.zip) that auto-invokes inside Claude, and a plain .md you can paste into a ChatGPT Custom GPT, a Gemini system prompt, or any LLM. The procedure is the same everywhere; only the install step differs.
Can I share this with my team?
It's licensed for your own personal and professional use. If you'd like to roll it out across a team or agency, email hello@authority.md and we'll sort out team licensing rather than have you pass the file around.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If the file hasn't been delivered, or arrives defective or empty, we refund in full — see our refund policy in the terms. It's a structured drafting tool, not legal or HR advice; for anything with legal or HR consequences it will tell you to consult a professional before sending.
