Inbox to action
Telemetry shows users don't just read email — they turn it into action: read → reply → schedule
a meeting or create a reminder. This skill codifies that end-to-end flow.
The flow
- Surface what needs attention —
search_emails/list_emails (pass account= to stay fast),
then read_email on the ones that matter. Summarize: who, what they want, urgency.
- Reply —
create_draft (with reply_to_message_id for replies). Compose the draft; the
user reviews and sends it. Never auto-send.
- Turn the email into action when it implies one:
- A meeting request →
create_calendar_event (confirm calendar + exact times first).
- A task/follow-up →
create_reminder (with a due date if the email implies one).
Good practice
- Batch: skim the inbox, group into "needs reply", "schedule this", "just FYI".
- For each "needs reply", draft a concise response in the user's voice; show it before saving.
- When an email says "let's meet Tuesday", propose a concrete slot (check
list_calendar_events
for conflicts) and create the event on confirmation.
- Destructive/outgoing steps are preview-first: show the draft / the event, confirm, then apply.
- Keep the user in control — propose, don't auto-execute sends or deletes.
