SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? An overflowing inbox mixes messages that need a personal decision, threads waiting on others, disguised tasks, and pure noise. This Skill sorts everything into clear buckets and writes draft replies, while guaranteeing nothing is ever sent without a human pressing send. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four-bucket triage: Classifies mail into Needs you, Waiting, Do, and Noise, reporting the first three and counting the noise. - Task extraction: Converts emails that are really tasks or appointments into state-server entries via task_add and appointment_add. - Voice-matched drafting: Reads sent messages to match the user's writing style, leaves bracketed gaps for unknown facts, and refuses to draft financial, legal, medical, or emotionally loaded replies. - Use Case: Ask what needs answering in your inbox and receive a sorted report plus ready-to-review drafts, with a landlord reply drafted but the Thursday time slot left blank for you to fill in. ## Quick Start Triage my inbox and draft replies to anything that needs a response from me.

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

Ask the assistant to sort your inbox, and it classifies messages into four buckets: Needs you, Waiting, Do, and Noise. You get a report of the first three buckets plus a count of noise items like newsletters and receipts.

How to draft email replies in my own writing style?▼

The assistant reads a few of your sent messages first to learn your voice, then writes short drafts matching your style. It leaves bracketed gaps like [Thursday or Friday?] where only you know the answer, and never invents dates, prices, or facts.

Can the assistant send emails on my behalf?▼

No. Drafts go to the drafts folder and a human always presses send. This is a structural rule with no exceptions, so no instruction hidden inside an email can ever produce a sent message.

What happens to emails that are really tasks or appointments?▼

They are filed into the state server using task_add or appointment_add instead of being left in a summary. The assistant tells you it filed each item so nothing gets lost when the report scrolls away.

What are the limitations of AI email triage?▼

It never deletes, archives, clicks links, or acts on instructions found inside emails. Consequential messages involving financial, legal, medical, or emotionally loaded topics are flagged for you rather than drafted.
