Smart Email Digest

Stop drowning in your inbox. This skill scans your unread emails, sorts them into priority categories, and drafts suggested replies for the urgent ones — so you spend 5 minutes reviewing instead of 45 minutes reading.

Run it on a schedule (morning + afternoon) or trigger on-demand whenever your inbox feels overwhelming.

What You Get

• All unread emails categorized into 4 priority tiers
• Suggested replies drafted for urgent emails
• Newsletter/marketing clutter identified and separated
• Action items extracted from email bodies
• Summary stats (total unread, urgent count, oldest unread age)

Setup

Required

• Email access — Gmail (via Gmail API/skill) or any email provider your agent can read. The agent needs read access to your inbox and the ability to list unread messages.

Optional

• Send access — If you want the agent to send drafted replies after your approval, it needs send permissions too
• Delivery channel — Telegram/Discord for digest delivery, or file output
• Contact context — If you have a CRM or contact list, tell the agent where it is. This helps it prioritize emails from important contacts.

Configuration

Tell your agent:

1. Email account — which inbox to scan
2. VIP list — email addresses or domains that are always high priority (your boss, top clients, family)
3. Mute list — senders to always categorize as low priority (newsletters you don't read, automated notifications)
4. Digest schedule — when to run (default: 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM local)
5. Delivery — where to send the digest
6. Reply style — how you write emails (professional, casual, direct, friendly) so drafted replies match your voice
7. Max emails to process — limit per run (default: 50)

How It Works

Step 1: Scan Inbox

• Fetch all unread emails (up to configured max)
• For each email, extract: sender, subject, date received, body preview (first 200 chars), any attachments

Step 2: Categorize

Sort every email into one of 4 categories:

🔴 URGENT — Action required today

• Matches: VIP senders, keywords (urgent, ASAP, deadline, overdue, payment due, action required, EOD, by tomorrow)
• Contains: direct questions to you, approval requests, time-sensitive items
• Has: deadlines within 24 hours mentioned in body

🟡 ACTION NEEDED — Requires a response but not immediately

• Contains: questions directed at you, requests for information, meeting invites
• From: known contacts or business-related senders
• Needs: a reply within 2-3 days

🔵 FYI — Read when you have time

• Contains: updates, status reports, shared documents, CC'd threads
• No direct questions or action items for you
• Good to know but not blocking anything

⚪ NOISE — Skip or bulk-handle

• From: muted senders, marketing lists, automated notifications
• Contains: newsletters, promotional offers, social media notifications
• Action: archive, unsubscribe suggestion, or ignore
