Email Inbox Triage

Turn a mailbox into a bounded queue of decisions. This skill owns thread-aware prioritization and reply policy; connector skills (himalaya, google-workspace) own provider commands.

When to Use

• "What emails need my attention?"
• "Triage today's inbox."
• "Draft replies to anything urgent."
• "Get me to inbox zero."
• "Find unanswered customer/vendor messages."

Don't use for: newsletter campaigns, or when the user only asks to retrieve one known message (use the connector skill directly).

Procedure

1. Set the inbox scope

Resolve the account, folders/labels, half-open time window, unread/all status, maximum thread count, and allowed actions. Default to read + draft, not send/delete — "handle my inbox" does not imply permission to send or delete. Done when the retrieval query and mutation boundary are explicit.
