SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Setting up an automated email triage system requires capturing your business context, reply voice, priorities, and blocklists in a structured form — doing this ad hoc produces inconsistent configurations that downstream triage cannot use reliably.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided 8-Section Interview: Walks through ~25-31 questions one at a time with grill-me discipline (forcing formats, dependency ordering, rationale per question) to capture email patterns, categories, and priorities.
  • Seven-File Knowledge Base Generation: Produces email-taxonomy.md, email-patterns.md, blocklist.md, tracker.md, triage-log/, plus conditional evaluation-framework.md and rate-card.md at ${WORKSPACE}/Email/.
  • Voice Calibration from Samples: Analyzes 3-5 pasted sent emails with a deterministic script to extract register, sentence length, sign-offs, and hedging patterns.
  • Use Case: A solo consultant runs the setup once, answers questions about their inbox mix and pricing, pastes sample emails, and receives a complete knowledge base that the paired inbox-triage skill reads on every run.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to set up your inbox triage system and answer the interview questions one at a time as they are presented.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up an email triage knowledge base?

Run the inbox-setup skill once and answer its 8-section interview covering your role, inbox categories, reply style, blocklist, and report preferences. It writes the structured markdown files to the Email directory in your workspace that the inbox-triage skill reads on every run.

What files does the inbox setup interview generate?

It generates email-taxonomy.md, email-patterns.md, blocklist.md, tracker.md, and an empty triage-log directory. If you receive opportunity emails, it also creates evaluation-framework.md, and rate-card.md when you have fixed pricing.

Can I re-run the setup without losing my existing configuration?

Yes. On re-run the skill detects existing files and asks per-file whether to replace, merge, or skip. It only walks the interview sections whose files you chose to update, leaving kept files untouched.

Why does the setup ask for real sent email samples?

Self-described writing voice is unreliable, so the skill analyzes 3-5 pasted sent emails with a deterministic script to extract register, sentence length, sign-offs, and hedging patterns. If you decline, it flags the patterns file that calibration may need iteration.

Does the setup store sensitive information like passwords?

No. The skill explicitly refuses to persist passwords, account numbers, or similar credentials in knowledge base files. If you volunteer sensitive info during the interview, it records a placeholder noting the data is stored separately by you.
