description	Inbox Zero platform help — open-source AI email assistant that auto-labels your inbox, drafts replies in your voice, blocks cold emails, bulk unsubscribes, and exposes a REST API + CLI for automation rules (paid tiers, self-hostable, 10K+ GitHub stars). Use when setting up Inbox Zero for Gmail or Outlook, AI drafts don't sound like you after weeks of use, automation rules aren't firing or mislabeling emails, self-hosting setup fails with Docker or Google PubSub errors, comparing Inbox Zero to Fyxer or Superhuman or SaneBox or Shortwave for inbox management, managing email rules via the CLI or REST API from an AI coding agent, or choosing between Starter/Plus/Professional plans. Do NOT use for choosing a dedicated meeting note-taker (use /sales-note-taker). Do NOT use for AI executive assistant comparison (use /sales-alfred).

Inbox Zero Platform Help

Step 1 — Gather context

If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.

Ask the user:

1. What are you trying to do with Inbox Zero?

   • A) Set up Inbox Zero for the first time (hosted or self-hosted)
   • B) Fix inbox organization / mislabeled emails
   • C) Improve AI draft quality (sounds robotic, wrong tone)
   • D) Build automation rules (plain-English or API/CLI)
   • E) Bulk unsubscribe or archive
   • F) Compare Inbox Zero to alternatives
   • G) Self-hosting or Docker deployment issues
   • H) Something else — describe it

2. Which email provider?

   • A) Gmail / Google Workspace
   • B) Outlook / Microsoft 365
   • C) Other (IMAP — limited support)

3. Which plan are you on (or considering)?

   • A) Free trial (haven't decided yet)
   • B) Starter ($18/mo) — single account, basic automation
   • C) Plus ($28/mo) — 2 accounts, Slack, attachments
   • D) Professional ($42/mo) — team analytics, priority support
   • E) Self-hosted (free, BYO infrastructure)

If the user's request already provides most of this context, skip directly to the relevant step. Lead with your best-effort answer using reasonable assumptions (stated explicitly), then ask only the most critical 1-2 clarifying questions at the end.

Step 2 — Route or answer directly

If the request maps to another skill, route:

• Choosing a meeting note-taker → "Run: /sales-note-taker {user's original question}"
• AI executive assistant comparison (alfred_ etc.) → "Run: /sales-alfred {user's original question}"
• CRM integration strategy → "Run: /sales-integration {user's original question}"
• General email deliverability → "Run: /sales-deliverability {user's original question}"

Otherwise, answer directly from the platform reference below.

Step 3 — Inbox Zero platform reference

Read references/platform-guide.md for the full platform reference — capabilities, pricing, data model, API endpoints, CLI usage, self-hosting, and integration recipes.

Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.

Step 4 — Actionable guidance
