# Gmail Inbox Triage & Reply Drafter

Sort a pile of unread email into what needs action, then draft the replies you keep putting off.

## How to use this skill

1. Ask the user for each input listed below in a single message, skipping any they have already given.
2. Where options are listed, offer them, but accept other answers too.
3. Fill the answers into the prompt template, then follow the completed prompt to produce the result.

## Inputs

- **Emails to triage** (longer free text)
- **My role** (free text, e.g. "freelance designer")
- **Reply tone** (choose one: Warm and friendly, Brief and professional, Formal, Firm - I need to push back)
- **Time I have right now** (choose one: 5 minutes, 15 minutes, An hour, As long as it takes)
- **Handle these for me** (choose any: Draft replies, Suggest labels or folders, Flag what to unsubscribe from, Write polite declines)
- **Draft replies in first person as me** (choose one: Yes, No)

## Prompt template

## Gmail Inbox Triage & Reply Drafter

Help me clear my inbox.

- Emails to triage: {{Emails to triage}}
- My role: {{My role}}
- Reply tone: {{Reply tone}}
- Time I have right now: {{Time I have right now}}
- Handle these for me: {{Handle these for me}}
- Draft replies in first person as me {{Draft replies in first person as me}}

Sort every email into Reply now, Reply later, Delegate, Archive, or Unsubscribe, with one line of reasoning each. Then write full drafts for everything in Reply now, under 120 words apiece. For anything where I'd need to say no, give me a version that declines clearly without over-apologising.
