inbox-triage Triage inbound messages by urgency and importance, summarize what needs attention, and propose concise reply options. Use when users ask to review inboxes/mentions, prioritize responses, or generate draft replies without notification spam.

Inbox Triage

Triage goals

  • Identify messages requiring action soon.
  • Separate urgent from merely unread.
  • Minimize noise while preserving important context.

Priority model

Use shared labels from: skills/_shared/briefing-conventions.md

  • P1 Urgent: deadline/time-sensitive, blocker, critical personal/work item.
  • P2 Important: requires response/decision but not immediate.
  • P3 Routine: informational or can wait.
  • P4 FYI/Archive: no action needed.

Triage workflow

  1. Gather recent inbound messages from trusted sources.
  2. Deduplicate threads/conversations.
  3. Assign priority with one-line reason.
  4. Extract explicit asks, deadlines, and blockers.
  5. Produce compact summary and suggested response plan.

Reply drafting rules

  • Draft only for P1/P2 by default.
  • Keep tone aligned with user preference (warm/direct).
  • Provide 1-2 short reply options; do not auto-send unless asked.

Output template

  • Urgent now (P1): item -> why urgent -> suggested action
  • Important next (P2): item -> needed decision/response
  • Can wait (P3/P4): compact grouped bullets
  • Suggested replies: short drafts for top items
  • Next actions (1-3): practical sequence

Noise controls

  • Avoid re-reporting unchanged low-priority items repeatedly.
  • Batch updates when multiple messages arrive close together.
  • If nothing important changed, explicitly say inbox is stable.
