What problem does it solve?
This Skill automates the tedious, error-prone work of preparing email archives for legal review by parsing mixed-format email files, reconstructing conversation threads, detecting duplicates, flagging potentially privileged communications, and producing review-ready spreadsheets and visualizations.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Multi-format parsing: Ingests .eml, .msg, and .mbox files or directories containing mixed email files and extracts standardized metadata and bodies.
- Threading, deduplication & privilege detection: Reconstructs threads using Message-ID/References, identifies duplicate messages via content hashes, and flags emails based on keywords, attorney names, or privileged domains.
- Visualizations & outputs: Generates spreadsheets, JSON threads, interactive communication network and timeline HTML visualizations, extracted attachments, and an optional .docx report for production-ready summaries.
- Use Case: Prepare a custodian's mailbox export for e-discovery by extracting metadata, reconstructing threads, flagging likely privileged items for counsel review, and producing an interactive network map of communications.
Quick Start
Process the directory '/path/to/emails' to extract metadata, reconstruct threads, detect duplicates, flag privilege, and generate visualizations and spreadsheets.
