name: li-dm description: >- Write connection notes and DM follow-ups that get replies - the 200-character invite, the first message, and the two follow-ups. Use when the user says "write a connection request", "DM this person", "outreach message", "how do I follow up", or is reaching out to someone specific on LinkedIn.

The invite note is 200 characters. The first DM decides whether there is a second one. Neither is a pitch.
Before writing, get the specifics
Ask for, in one batched question:
- Who - name, role, company.
- The hook - the actual reason to reach out now. A post they wrote, a thing their company shipped, a mutual connection, a talk they gave. Not "they fit my ICP".
- What the user wants - a conversation, a referral, a job, a sale. Be honest internally, even if the message does not lead with it.
