SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? An overflowing inbox hides urgent requests among newsletters and automated mail, and acting on it carelessly risks sending or deleting messages without permission. This Skill turns a mailbox into a bounded queue of decisions with thread-aware prioritization and safe, approval-based reply drafting. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Thread-aware classification: Reads complete threads and assigns each a disposition (urgent reply, reply, action without reply, waiting, reference, or noise) with a stated reason. - Safe mutation policy: Defaults to read and draft only; sends, archives, and deletions happen only within an explicitly approved batch. - Verified execution: Reads back message, draft, and label state from the provider and checks Sent before retrying ambiguous SMTP errors to avoid duplicate mail. - Use Case: Ask to triage today's inbox and receive a prioritized report separating items needing attention now, drafts awaiting your approval, actions without replies, and threads waiting on others. ## Quick Start Triage my inbox from the last 24 hours and draft replies to anything urgent for my approval.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage my email inbox with an AI assistant?▼

Define the account, folders, time window, and allowed actions, then let the Skill retrieve complete threads and classify each by disposition. It presents an approval batch of drafted replies and actions before any send, archive, or delete occurs.

How to draft email replies without sending them automatically?▼

The Skill defaults to read and draft permissions only, never sending or deleting without explicit approval. Each proposed mutation is shown with recipient, action, draft summary, and risk so you can approve individually or as a batch.

Does this work with Gmail or command-line email clients?▼

Yes, it delegates provider commands to connector skills such as himalaya for IMAP/SMTP accounts or google-workspace for Gmail. This Skill owns prioritization and reply policy while connectors handle retrieval and mutation.

Why did retrying a failed email send create duplicates?▼

SMTP can succeed while saving to the Sent folder fails, so a blind retry sends the message twice. The Skill inspects the Sent folder after ambiguous send errors before retrying to prevent duplicate mail.

When should I not use inbox triage?▼

Skip it for newsletter campaigns or when you only need to retrieve one known message; use the connector skill directly instead. It is designed for bounded decision queues, not bulk marketing mail or single-message lookups.
