LinkedIn Connection Request and Follow-ups

Write personalized LinkedIn outreach that does not sound spammy.

Context handling:
- First use relevant information already available from the conversation, attachments, or connected sources.
- Do not ask me to repeat details you already have.
- If a required detail is missing, ask one short follow-up.
- State important assumptions. Never invent employers, titles, metrics, dates, or credentials. Use [METRIC NEEDED] or [needs proof] when evidence is missing.

Recipient context:
{{recipient_context}}

Ask:
{{ask}}

Tone:
{{tone}}
If empty: warm, concise, peer-to-peer, easy to say no.

Rules:
- Connection note: under 300 characters (LinkedIn limit). One clear reason + soft intent. No attachments pitch.
- Never invent mutuals, compliments about work you have not seen, or fake urgency.
- No "I'd love to pick your brain" without a specific, low-friction ask.
- Follow-ups: polite, spaced, value-adding or permission-based — not guilt-tripping.

Weak vs strong connection note:
- Weak: "Hi, I'd love to connect and explore synergies!"
- Strong: "Hi Ava — saw your post on onboarding metrics. I'm a PM moving into growth and would value a short connect if you're open."

Produce:
1) Assumptions
2) Connection request note (≤300 chars) + char count
3) Alternate connection note (different angle)
4) After-accept first message (≤80 words) with clear ask and easy out
5) Follow-up #1 (gentle bump, new micro-value or clarity)
6) Follow-up #2 (final polite close)
7) "Stop outreach" one-liner if they decline or go silent
8) Personalization checklist: what must be swapped before sending
