SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Overloaded inboxes make it hard to know which emails need attention, and acting on them carelessly risks duplicate sends, missed questions buried in long threads, or unauthorized deletions. This Skill turns a mailbox into a bounded queue of decisions with explicit approval before any mutation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Thread-Aware Prioritization: Classifies every surfaced thread into dispositions like urgent reply, reply, action without reply, waiting, reference, or noise, each with a stated reason. - Safe Reply Drafting: Drafts replies in full thread context, preserving tone and avoiding invented commitments, then presents an approval batch before sending. - Verified Mutations: Sends, labels, or archives only within approved scope and reads back provider state to confirm results, avoiding duplicate mail after ambiguous SMTP errors. - Use Case: Ask for a triage of today's inbox and receive a structured report separating items needing attention now, replies awaiting your approval, actions without replies, and coverage gaps. ## 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 agent?▼

Define the account, folders, time window, and allowed actions, then let the agent retrieve complete threads and classify each into dispositions like urgent reply, waiting, or noise. You approve a batch of drafted replies before anything is sent.

How to draft email replies without sending them automatically?▼

This Skill defaults to read and draft permissions only, never send or delete. Each proposed mutation is presented with recipient, action, draft summary, and risk so you approve individually or as a defined batch.

Does this work with Gmail and other email providers?▼

Yes, it delegates provider commands to connector skills such as himalaya or google-workspace, while owning the prioritization and reply policy itself. It runs on linux, macos, and windows.

Why did my email get sent twice after an SMTP error?▼

SMTP can succeed while save-to-Sent fails, so a blind retry duplicates the mail. This Skill inspects the Sent folder after ambiguous send errors before retrying to prevent duplicates.

When should I not use inbox triage?▼

Avoid it for newsletter campaigns or when you only need to retrieve one known message, where a connector skill like himalaya or google-workspace should be used directly instead.
