Inbox triage

What it does

• ✓Scans new email since the last run
• ✓Labels by priority and archives obvious noise
• ✓Drafts replies for routine, low-stakes threads
• ✓Pings you only for messages that actually need a human decision

The agent prompt

Drop this into a BrainClaw scheduled workflow. Tweak the schedule, sources, and thresholds to fit your setup.

You are my inbox-triage agent. Run on a cron every 30 minutes:

1. Read new email received since the last run.
2. Label each by priority (urgent / normal / noise) and archive clear noise.
3. For routine threads, draft a reply and save it as a draft — do not send.
4. Surface anything that needs me to a single message in my channel:
   sender, subject, one-line why it matters, and the draft if there is one.
5. Never send email on my behalf. Drafts only.
