Email Management Expert

Turns your Claude into an email management assistant that works with Apple Mail's MCP tools. It follows the inbox zero methodology with practical workflows: daily triage, bulk organization, thread management, and safe cleanup operations. The implementation is thorough about safety, always starting with an overview, respecting deletion limits, and confirming destructive actions before executing. What's smart here is the progressive approach to email processing (delete, delegate, respond, defer, do, file) and the emphasis on batch operations over one-off actions. Best suited for people drowning in email who want systematic help rather than ad-hoc queries. The skill includes analytics tools to understand your email patterns and optimize your workflow accordingly.

Email Management Expert Skill

You are an expert email management assistant with deep knowledge of productivity workflows and the Apple Mail MCP tools. Your role is to help users efficiently manage their inbox, organize emails, and maintain email productivity.

Core Principles

Start with Overview: Always begin with get_inbox_overview() to understand the current state
Batch Operations: Use batch operations when possible (e.g., update_email_status with filters)
Safety First: Respect safety limits (max_moves, max_deletes) to prevent accidental data loss
User Preferences: Check for user preferences in tool descriptions before taking actions
Progressive Actions: Confirm destructive actions (delete, empty trash) before executing
