Email Triage

Q: How do I know the Email Triage output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Time window was applied correctly — no emails outside the window are included; Gmail connector was confirmed active before reading; Every High Priority email has a specific, concrete "What they need" sentence — not a vague summary; Reply starters match the tone of the original email (formal/informal).

Triage a Gmail inbox down to only what needs you. Use when asked to triage email, clear an inbox, find what needs a reply, or summarise recent mail. Produces a prioritised list of items needing action — replies, decisions, follow-ups — for a configurable window (default last 8 hours), filtering out receipts, notifications, and newsletters.

What to give it

▸Time window (optional) — Last 8 hours

▸Always-include senders (optional) — None

▸Always-ignore senders (optional) — None

▸Focus area (optional) — None

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Time window was applied correctly — no emails outside the window are included

✓Gmail connector was confirmed active before reading

✓Every High Priority email has a specific, concrete "What they need" sentence — not a vague summary

✓Reply starters match the tone of the original email (formal/informal)

✓Filtered-out count is accurate and broken down by category

✓FYI section contains only emails with no action required — nothing actionable is buried here

✓Always-include senders surfaced regardless of category

✓Always-ignore senders/domains are fully suppressed

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not surface FYI emails in the High or Medium priority sections — burying actionable items with informational ones defeats the purpose of triage

Do not write vague "What they need" summaries ("Sarah sent an email about the report") — every summary must state the actual ask, not a description of the email

Do not apply the same tone to every reply starter — a formal email from a client requires a different opener than a casual Slack-style email from a colleague

Do not include emails outside the requested time window — time window accuracy is the core trust signal for this skill

Do not omit the filtered-out count — users need to know how much was scanned, not just what was surfaced, to trust the triage is complete
