Newsletter Writer
/newsletter
Claude Code writes newsletter issues with a strong opening hook, a structured body with clear section breaks, and a CTA that fits naturally into the editorial flow. It adapts to your publishing cadence and voice so each issue feels consistent rather than generated.
What this skill does
Write an opening hook that creates curiosity or delivers an immediate insight in the first 2 sentences
Structure the newsletter body into scannable sections with clear transitions
Adapt the writing style to your brand voice: analytical, conversational, opinionated, or educational
Write a closing CTA that aligns with the newsletter's content rather than feeling bolted on
How to use it
Share your topic and context
Describe this issue's main topic or insight, any data or examples you want to include, and your newsletter's usual format and voice.
Run /newsletter
Tell Claude Code your subscriber count and type (niche professional, general consumer, B2B) and the target read time for the issue.
Edit and send
Review the draft, add any proprietary examples or opinions Claude Code couldn't know, and send to your list.

Frequently asked questions
How do I maintain my own voice if Claude Code is writing the newsletter?
Provide a sample of 2 to 3 past issues you're happy with and ask Claude Code to match the style. Then edit the output to add your personal opinions, examples from your own experience, and anything that reflects your specific perspective. The structure does the heavy lifting; your voice comes through in the edits.
How long should a newsletter be?
600 to 900 words is the practical range for most professional newsletters. Long enough to deliver real value, short enough to respect a busy reader's time. Claude Code defaults to this range but adjusts if your format is shorter (curated roundups) or longer (deep-dive reports).
Should my newsletter always have a CTA?
Yes, but it doesn't always have to be commercial. A CTA can be 'reply and tell me what you think', a link to a related article, or a poll. Non-commercial CTAs build engagement which improves deliverability. Claude Code recommends CTA type based on your newsletter's goal for that issue.
