TODO: Perform the task manually with the agent in the chat window and ask it to turn it into a project skill in this solution. # Email Summary EXAMPLE: Fetch today's inbox via the Gmail MCP and produce a privacy-safe digest with prioritized next actions. ## Steps EXAMPLE: 1. Determine today's date in the user's local timezone. If `currentDate` is provided in context, use it; otherwise use the current date. 2. Call `mcp__claude_ai_Gmail__search_threads` with: - `query`: `after:YYYY/MM/DD before:YYYY/MM/DD in:inbox` (upper bound is the day after today) - `pageSize`: `50` 3. Count individual messages whose `date` field falls on today's date (a returned thread may include older messages — do not count those). 4. Group today's messages into categories based on sender domain and subject patterns. Pick buckets that fit the actual data, e.g.: - Platform / community notifications (circle.so, Discord, Slack, GitHub, etc.) - Customer or subscriber support - Calendar invites and self-forwards - Newsletters / promotional - Direct human correspondence 5. Anonymize. Never echo sender names, email addresses, or verbatim subject lines. Refer to senders generically ("a long-time subscriber", "a program participant", "a notification platform"). Describe subjects by topic, not by their literal text. Do not include any names that appear inside snippets either. 6. Pick the **top 3 to focus on next** using these signals, in order: - Direct human messages waiting on a reply from the user - Paying customers blocked, frustrated, or asking a question - Time-sensitive items tied to events today or tomorrow - Skip routine notifications, automated digests, and self-sent mail ## Output format EXAMPLE: ``` ## Today's Email Summary (<N> messages) ### By category **<Category> — <count>** <one short paragraph, anonymized> **<Category> — <count>** ... ### Top 3 to focus on next 1. **<Short label>** — <why it matters and what action is needed> 2. **<Short label>** — ... 3. **<Short label>** — ... ``` Keep the whole response tight: short paragraph per category, one-liner per priority item with a clear action.
