Core Features

1. Message Categorization

Messages are classified into three categories:

Triggers for categorization:

2. Daily Digest Generation

Creates a consolidated summary of all messages received that day:

📧 Daily Inbox Digest - April 15, 2026
🔴 URGENT (2):
  - Meeting reminder: Team sync at 3PM today
  - Question from Sarah: Need approval on budget by EOD
🟡 NORMAL (5):
  - Newsletter: Weekly tech roundup
  - Update: Project milestone reached
  - ...
🟢 SPAM/NOISE (12):
  - Promotions, notifications, alerts

3. Draft Response Generation

Auto-drafts replies for normal-spam categories:

When to Use This Skill

✅ Inbox/messages are overwhelming ✅ Need to sort through notifications and alerts ✅ Want to save time on routine responses ✅ Need daily summaries of important items ✅ Looking to filter spam automatically

❌ Not for high-stakes communication (legal, medical, financial advice) ❌ Not for creative work (writing, editing, brainstorming) ❌ Not for real-time conversations requiring immediate human response

How It Works

Input Processing

1. Collect: Gather all messages from configured sources 2. Analyze: Parse content, sender, timestamps, and context 3. Categorize: Apply priority rules and classification logic 4. Summarize: Generate digest or alert summaries 5. Draft: Create response options for review

Limitations

Iteration

Track which categorizations were correct/incorrect:

# Log correction
echo "CORRECT: urgent - meeting reminder" >> ~/.inbox-triage/corrections.log
echo "INCORRECT: spam - actually important" >> ~/.inbox-triage/corrections.log

The system learns from corrections over time.
