Email Briefing Assistant

What it does

The Email Briefing Assistant is a high-performance triage skill designed to transform an overwhelming inbox into a structured, actionable work plan. It moves beyond simple summarization by classifying emails into specific categories: Needs Response, Follow-Up, Urgent/Missed, and FYI. It identifies deadlines, extracts owner responsibilities, and generates context-aware draft replies ready for your review.

Why use this skill

Manually scanning threads to find who owes what is a productivity killer. This skill automates the "executive assistant" workflow, ensuring you never miss a critical client request or a pending internal approval. It is safer than generic prompting because it follows strict governance rules: it strictly excludes newsletters/spam, handles sensitive HR/legal content with caution, and never takes destructive actions like deleting or sending emails without your final word.

Supported Workflows

• Inbox Triage: Get a birds-eye view of your morning messages across connected accounts or pasted threads.
• Draft Preparation: Automatically generate professional responses aligned to thread context for urgent items.
• Follow-up Tracking: Maintain a register of items where you are waiting on others to respond.
• Post-Vacation Recovery: Rapidly summarize bulk exports to find what actually matters after time away.

The Output

You receive a clean, scannable briefing featuring summary counts, a prioritized list of actions, and a "Top 3" list for immediate focus, followed by concise reply drafts that maintain your professional tone.
