# Welcome Email Pattern (Germaine's style)
|
|
|
|
When drafting a welcome/onboarding email for a new Hermes user (like Tony):
|
|
|
|
1. Open with `## Title` + `---`
|
|
2. Use `###` sections with bold lead-in paragraphs
|
|
3. "What We've Built" uses an **ordered list** (1., 2., 3.) — not unordered bullets
|
|
4. Include explicit "Permission required" section
|
|
5. "Getting Started" uses **Step 1**, **Step 2**, **Step 3** with bold lead-ins
|
|
6. Commands section: bold command + hyphen + description
|
|
7. **Server Details** section is minimal — no IP addresses, no SSH info. Just "Primary model provided by [user]" and "Backup model built in"
|
|
8. Send from shonuff@germainebrown.com, BCC g@germainebrown.com
|
|
9. Strip all IPs, SSH commands, and server-specific connection details from the email body
|
|
10. Close with random Sho'Nuff closing quote (no "Thanks" or "Regards")
|
|
11. Use full forms ("I am", "I will", "do not") — no contractions
|
|
|
|
## Style Rules Applied
|
|
|
|
- **Ordered lists** (1., 2., 3.) for the "What We've Built" section
|
|
- **Unordered lists** (hyphens) for commands and feature lists
|
|
- **Bold lead-ins** for every paragraph start
|
|
- **No em dashes (—)** anywhere — use hyphens (-)
|
|
- **Full forms** — "I am" not "I'm", "I will" not "I'll", "do not" not "don't"
|
|
- **"example:"** not "e.g."
|
|
- **No SSH IPs, server addresses, or connection details**
|
|
- **Both text/plain and text/html** MIME alternatives
