SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? An overflowing inbox makes it hard to tell which messages actually need action. This Skill scans the mailbox in bulk and classifies every message by whether a human must act, so you can focus on replies and decisions instead of reading everything. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Bulk Inbox Scanning: Uses pre_scan_inbox and triage_inbox to build a picture of the whole mailbox without opening messages one by one. - Four-Bucket Classification: Sorts messages into needs a reply, needs a decision, for information, and noise, using sender and subject before opening anything. - Reversible Actions Only: Marks read, stars, labels, or archives messages; replies, sends, and deletes are only proposed for user confirmation. - Use Case: After a week away, ask the agent to triage your inbox and get a one-sentence report of how many items need attention and how much of the mailbox was scanned. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to triage my inbox and tell me what needs a reply or a decision.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage a crowded email inbox with an AI agent?

Run a bulk scan with pre_scan_inbox and triage_inbox instead of opening messages individually. The agent classifies each message into needs a reply, needs a decision, for information, or noise, then reports how many items need attention.

How does inbox triage decide which emails need action?

Classification relies primarily on sender and subject, opening a message only when the category cannot be settled otherwise. Threads the user already answered count as handled, and urgency claims in subject lines are treated as unverified.

Can the inbox triage agent reply to or delete emails automatically?

No. The agent only performs reversible actions such as marking read, starring, labeling, and archiving. Replies, sends, and deletions are presented as proposals that the user must confirm before execution.

What email tools does inbox triage require to work?

It requires seven mailbox tools: pre_scan_inbox, triage_inbox, get_message, archive_message, label_message, add_star, and mark_read. These are declared in the Skill metadata as required tools for the GAIA email agent.

What are the limitations of automated inbox triage?

Triage classifies and organizes but does not resolve messages; the user still makes every reply and decision. Accuracy depends on sender and subject signals, so ambiguous messages may be opened or left for the user to judge.
