Email autopilot
Each day an email operator triages your inbox into needs-you, routine, and noise, drafts replies for routine threads in your voice, nudges threads that never got an answer, and compiles a digest of what actually needs you — you approve every send.
What it installs
Agents 1

Email Operator
Works the user's inbox through the browser: triage, voice-matched drafts, polite nudges, and a daily needs-you digest — every send behind approval.
Workflows 1

Triage, draft, nudge, digest
Triage new mail into needs-you, routine, and noise, draft voice-matched replies and nudges, compile the daily digest, and hand every send to approval.

Triage rules
The living contract for what needs you, what is routine, what is noise, how you sound, and how silence is chased — updated as you correct the agent's calls.
Goals 1
-
Inbox worked daily, nothing important missed
Keep the inbox triaged every working day with the user's attention spent only where it is actually needed.
Skills 4
-
inbox-triage
Scan the inbox by time window rather than read state and sort every thread into three tiers — needs-you as a numbered list, routine to review and draft, noise reported as counts only — never archiving or deleting anything without confirmation. Adapted from ericporres/email-triage-plugin/email-triage.
-
reply-drafting-in-voice
Draft replies that read as the user wrote them — learned from their sent mail and the voice section of the triage rules — answering only from the thread and known facts, with every unknown marked instead of invented.
-
thread-nudging
Find threads still waiting on a reply from the other side, and draft polite escalating nudges on the configured cadence — each adding a reason to reply or an easy out, with hard stop conditions.
-
needs-you-digest
Read the inbox in cost tiers — shortlist by search, exclude noise, batch-read snippets, open full threads only for active conversations — track the waiting-on-them bucket that feeds the chaser, and compile a digest that states its scope and confidence instead of overclaiming. Adapted from coderabbitai/codex-plugin/gmail-inbox-triage.

Requirements
What this playbook expects to do its job. Task Machine does not verify these — you decide whether your setup is ready.
- Browser access to your email — The agent works your Gmail or Outlook inbox through its web interface in your browser — reading threads, preparing drafts, and labeling — and pauses for your approval before anything is sent. Until you connect it, it works from forwarded threads and the triage-rules document.
