Overview
This public intake copy packages
plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/mailchimp-automation from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.
Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.
This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses
metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.
Mailchimp Automation via Rube MCP Automate Mailchimp email marketing workflows including campaign creation and sending, audience/list management, subscriber operations, segmentation, and performance analytics through Composio's Mailchimp toolkit.
Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Prerequisites, Common Patterns, Known Pitfalls, Limitations.
When to Use This Skill
Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.
- This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
- Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Automate Mailchimp email marketing including campaigns, audiences, subscribers, segments, and analytics via Rube MCP (Composio). Always search tools first for current schemas.
- Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
- Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
- Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
- Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.
Operating Table
| Situation | Start here | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| First-time use | | Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path before touching the copied workflow |
| Provenance review | | Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source |
| Workflow execution | | Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution |
| Supporting context | | Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package |
| Handoff decision | | Helps the operator switch to a stronger native skill when the task drifts |
Workflow
This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

Key parameters for MAILCHIMP_SET_CAMPAIGN_CONTENT:
: Campaign ID from creation step (required)campaign_id
: Raw HTML content for the emailhtml
: Plain-text version (auto-generated if omitted)plain_text
: Use a pre-built template instead of raw HTMLtemplate__id
Pitfalls:

requires a valid future datetime; past timestamps failMAILCHIMP_SCHEDULE_CAMPAIGN- Templates and HTML content must include compliant footer/unsubscribe merge tags
- Mailchimp uses double-underscore notation for nested params (e.g.,
)settings__subject__line

Examples
Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly
Use @mailchimp-automation to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.
Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.
Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review
Review @mailchimp-automation against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.
Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.
Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution
Use @mailchimp-automation for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.
Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.
Example 4: Build a reviewer packet
Review @mailchimp-automation using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.
Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.
Best Practices
Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.
- Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
- Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
- Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
- Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
- Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
- Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.
Troubleshooting
Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically
Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in
plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/mailchimp-automation, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all.
Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Load only the files that materially change the answer, then restate the provenance before continuing.
Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review
Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated
SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task.
Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.
Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization
Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported: Common Patterns
ID Resolution
Always resolve names to IDs before operations:
- Audience name -> list_id:
and match by nameMAILCHIMP_GET_LISTS_INFO - Subscriber email -> subscriber_hash: Compute MD5 of lowercase email in code
- Campaign name -> campaign_id:
with queryMAILCHIMP_SEARCH_CAMPAIGNS - Segment name -> segment_id:
with list_idMAILCHIMP_LIST_SEGMENTS
Pagination
Mailchimp uses offset-based pagination:
- Use
(page size, max 1000) andcount
(skip N records)offset - Continue until collected records match
from the responsetotal_items - Default
is 10; always set explicitly for bulk operationscount - Search endpoints max at 10 pages (300 results for 30/page)
Subscriber Hash
Many endpoints require
subscriber_hash (MD5 of lowercase email):
import hashlib subscriber_hash = hashlib.md5(email.lower().encode()).hexdigest()
Imported: Known Pitfalls
ID Formats
(audience ID) is a short alphanumeric string (e.g., "abc123def4")list_id
is an alphanumeric stringcampaign_id
is an MD5 hex string (32 characters)subscriber_hash- Segment IDs are integers
Rate Limits
- Mailchimp enforces API rate limits; use batching for bulk subscriber operations
- High-volume use of GET_MEMBER_INFO and ADD_OR_UPDATE_LIST_MEMBER can trigger throttling
- Use
for bulk segment operationsMAILCHIMP_BATCH_ADD_OR_REMOVE_MEMBERS
Parameter Quirks
- Nested parameters use double-underscore notation:
,settings__subject__linerecipients__list__id
andavg_open_rate
are 0-1 fractions, not percentagesavg_click_rate
only applies to new contacts in upsert operationsstatus_if_new
must be MD5 of lowercase email; wrong casing creates phantom recordssubscriber_hash- Campaign
is required for creation; most common is "regular"type
returns HTTP 204 on success (no body)MAILCHIMP_SEND_CAMPAIGN
Content and Compliance
- Campaign HTML must include unsubscribe link and physical address (merge tags)
- Content must be set via
before sendingMAILCHIMP_SET_CAMPAIGN_CONTENT - Test emails require campaign to have content already set
Imported: Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
