What it does

This prompt instructs the AI to draft a concise, polished business email addressed to a specified recipient about a given topic, following strict formatting, length, and style constraints. The result is a ready-to-send email with an appropriate subject line, a brief body in a limited number of sentences, a clear next step when relevant, and a professional closing, while avoiding invented details, excessive questions, jargon, and any extra commentary.

Inputs

textInputs

Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.

Variable key	Required?	Description	Defaults
topic	Optional	the subject matter of the email	meeting request
recipient	Optional	who the email is addressed to	individual

Models and options

This skill's modality is: text.

To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "text".

How to run

Step 1: Collect inputs

First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "text" to discover valid models and available options:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.

Then collect all inputs from the human:

• Optional text inputs (use defaults if not provided by the human):
  • topic (default: meeting request)
  • recipient (default: individual)
• Optional: model and options.
  • Present the human with the default model gpt-5 and its available options. Look up gpt-5 in the betterprompt resources output (filtered to modality "text") and show its availableOptions as: key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value (default) if it matches these defaults: {}.
  • If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model gpt-5, options {}. Other models from the resources call are also available.

Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use write-a-professional-email).

Command form:

betterprompt generate write-a-professional-email \
  [--input <key>=<value>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]

Notes:

• Pass each text input as a separate --input <key>=<value> flag.
• If the human does not mention a model, omit --model and BetterPrompt will use the default model: gpt-5.
• If the human does not mention options, omit --options and BetterPrompt will use the default options: {}.
• If the run times out, the response will include a runId you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

betterprompt generate write-a-professional-email \
  --input 'topic=meeting request' \
  --input recipient=individual \
  --model gpt-5 \
  --options '{}'
