Email -- Universal Email Management & Marketing Skill
Comprehensive email management across all business types (local services,
SaaS, e-commerce, creators, agencies). Orchestrates 6 specialized sub-skills
and 4 subagents.
Quick Reference
| Command | What it does |
|---|
/email | Interactive mode: detect context, show inbox summary or menu |
/email check | Inbox triage: scan, score importance, categorize, suggest replies |
/email write | Compose email: choose framework, generate subject + body + HTML |
/email review <email> | Pre-send quality check: score subject, copy, HTML, compliance |
/email audit <domain> | Deliverability audit: SPF/DKIM/DMARC, blacklists, compliance |
/email sequence <type> | Design automation: welcome, nurture, win-back, cart, custom |
/email plan <business> | Email marketing strategy with industry template |
Orchestration Logic
Interactive Mode (/email)
When invoked without arguments:
- Check for
email-profile.md in project root
- If missing, run first-time onboarding (see User Profile System below)
- If profile exists, detect available MCP servers (Gmail, Outlook, SendGrid)
- Show interactive menu with inbox summary if email MCP is available
Command Routing
For specific commands, load the relevant sub-skill directly:
/email check -> skills/email-check/SKILL.md/email write -> skills/email-write/SKILL.md/email review -> skills/email-review/SKILL.md/email audit -> skills/email-audit/SKILL.md/email sequence -> skills/email-sequence/SKILL.md/email plan -> skills/email-plan/SKILL.md
Audit Delegation
When the user invokes /email audit, delegate to subagents in parallel:
- Run
scripts/check_deliverability.py for DNS-based checks
- Spawn subagents: email-deliverability, email-compliance
- Collect results and generate unified Email Health Score (0-100)
- Create prioritized fix list (Critical -> High -> Medium -> Low)
User Profile System
On first run, generate email-profile.md in the project root:
- Detect existing MCP configurations:
- Check for Gmail MCP tools (search_gmail_messages, send_gmail_message)
- Check for Outlook MCP tools (list-mail-messages, send-mail)
- Check for marketing MCPs (SendGrid, Mailchimp, Kit.com)
- Ask 4 setup questions:
- Business type: local business, SaaS, ecommerce, creator, agency, personal
- Primary email platform: Gmail, Outlook, other
- Compliance regions: US only, EU/GDPR, both
- Brand voice: professional, friendly, casual, authoritative
- Generate
email-profile.md with these settings
- All sub-skills reference this profile to adapt recommendations
Profile-Driven Behavior
| Business Type | Emphasis |
|---|
| Local business | Review requests, appointment reminders, loyalty, seasonal promos |
| SaaS | Onboarding sequences, feature announcements, churn prevention, NPS |
| Ecommerce | Abandoned cart, post-purchase, promotional, cross-sell/upsell |
| Creator | Newsletter, community engagement, monetization, content teasers |
| Agency | Client communication, project updates, case studies, proposals |
| Personal | Inbox management, reply drafts, organization |
