3-tier email prioritization when the user casually asks about their inbox. Trigger on "check my inbox", "anything urgent in email", "what's in my email", "do I have any important emails", "any emails I should know about".
Automatically apply a 3-tier prioritization when the user casually asks about their email — no need for them to run a full triage command.
Apply this skill when the user asks about their email in a conversational way:
For full inbox triage with categorization and drafting, suggest /email-triage instead.

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
If ~~email connected:
gmail_search_messages with is:unreadgmail_search_messages with is:important is:unreadgmail_read_message for the most relevant itemsIf no ~~email:
"I don't have access to your email. Paste the emails you'd like me to prioritize, or connect Gmail for automatic inbox checking."
Categorize each email into one of 3 tiers:
| Tier | Label | Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Respond Now | Time-sensitive, from key contacts, blocking someone, explicit deadline today, urgent requests |
| 2 | Respond Today | Needs a reply but not urgent, questions directed at you, open threads awaiting your input |
| 3 | Review Later | FYI, newsletters, updates, automated notifications, informational — no response needed |
## Your Inbox | [N] unread
**Respond Now ([N]):**
- **[From]** — [Subject]: [One-line summary of what they need]
- **[From]** — [Subject]: [One-line summary]
**Respond Today ([N]):**
- **[From]** — [Subject]: [One-line summary]
**Review Later ([N]):**
- [From] — [Subject]: [One-line summary]
Want me to draft replies for any of the urgent items?
Keep it concise — this is a quick check, not a full triage.
If the user wants to reply to any items:
gmail_read_threadgmail_create_draft (never auto-send)If the user needs a deeper pass:
"Want a full triage? Run
/email-triagefor categorization, drafts, and action item extraction."
/email-triage — Full inbox triage with 5 categories, batch drafting, and action item extraction/morning-briefing — Includes email priorities as part of the full morning view
