  Always-on spam and deliverability guardrails for cold email copy. Apply these rules whenever
  writing, reviewing, or QA-ing subject lines, openers, follow-ups, CTAs, or any cold outreach
  copy. Trigger on phrases like "check this for spam", "spam word check", "deliverability review",
  "QA this copy", "flag banned words", "check subject line", "is this safe to send", "scan for
  spam triggers", or any time cold email copy is being generated or reviewed. Also trigger
  automatically as a background rule whenever the campaign-copywriting or cold-email-copywriting
  skill is active -- these guardrails apply to EVERY piece of outbound copy generated, even if
  the user does not explicitly ask for a check.

Spam Word Checker

Always-on spam and deliverability rules. Apply to every subject line, opener, second line, follow-up, and CTA generated or reviewed.

---

When These Rules Apply

• Subject lines, openers, second lines, follow-ups, CTAs
• Any cold outreach copy being written or QA'd
• If a deliverability checker or review flags a word/phrase, treat it as banned going forward unless user explicitly approves an exception
• When in doubt, choose the lower-hype rewrite

Banned Single Words

Do not use any of the following standalone or as part of a compound word/phrase:

`get`, `bank`, `credit`, `access`, `open`, `compare`, `problem`, `now`, `billing`, `deal`, `finance`, `financial`, `claims`, `insurance`, `mortgage`, `soon`, `new`, `performance`, `freedom`, `home`, `sales`, `medical`, `urgent`, `life`, `marketing`, `investment`, `diagnostics`, `friend`, `cash`, `invoice`, `extra`, `purchase`

**Nuance:** Punctuation, hyphens, or splits do not make a banned token safe. Treat close variants as banned when the root token is still obvious:

• `cash-cycle` → still `cash` → banned
• `invoice-line` → still `invoice` → banned
• `extra-room` → still `extra` → banned
• `purchase-cycle` → still `purchase` → banned
