# email-pair Two-skill workflow that interviews you to build an email knowledge base, then categorizes incoming mail and drafts replies. Strictly drafts only, never sends. - plugin · `type=plugin` · Claude Code · ★ 28733 - Author: Alireza Rezvani - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills/tree/HEAD/productivity/email - Updated: 2026-10-23 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/plugins/email-pair ## What it does The plugin divides inbox handling into two stages connected by a 7-file knowledge base in `${WORKSPACE}/Email/`. Running `/cs-inbox-setup` starts an interactive 8-section interview with 25 to 31 questions. It captures your taxonomy and writing tone from 3 to 5 sent-email samples, then builds files such as `email-taxonomy.md`, `blocklist.md`, and `tracker.md`. Daily processing runs via `/cs-inbox-triage`, designed for 1 to 3 daily runs or on-demand checks. The skill classifies incoming threads and prepares suggested responses. The bundled `draft_safety_validator.py` script enforces a strict drafts-only policy. It never dispatches emails directly. ## Requirements - Works with: Gmail ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) **Plugin marketplace** In the agent chat (not a shell): ```text /plugin marketplace add alirezarezvani/claude-skills ``` In the agent chat (not a shell): ```text /plugin install email-pair@claude-code-skills ``` ## When to use it - Build a tailored email taxonomy through a structured interview - Classify unread messages and extract action items safely - Generate reply drafts matching personal voice from real samples - Track active email threads and blocked senders in workspace Markdown files ## Example prompts - /cs-inbox-setup - /cs-inbox-triage - Triage my inbox and draft responses using /cs-inbox-triage ## Source text · email · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE 90685f778d9d01d3 ````text # email **Workflow-pair plugin.** Two paired skills (`inbox-setup` + `inbox-triage`) that together implement a personalized recurring email triage system. The pair shares a strict 7-file knowledge-base contract at `${WORKSPACE}/Email/`. `inbox-setup` writes; `inbox-triage` reads + appends. PR #657's cross-skill consistency audit verified the file contract aligns verbatim between the two megaprompts. ## How the pair works ``` ┌──────────────────────┐ ┌──────────────────────────────┐ │ /cs-inbox-setup │ ───► │ ${WORKSPACE}/Email/ │ │ │ writes │ ├── email-taxonomy.md │ │ Interactive │ │ ├── email-patterns.md │ │ interview (~25-31 │ │ ├── evaluation-framework.md* │ │ grill-me questions │ │ ├── rate-card.md* │ │ across 8 sections). │ │ ├── blocklist.md │ │ Run ONCE. │ │ ├── tracker.md │ │ │ │ └── triage-log/ │ └──────────────────────┘ └──────────────────────────────┘ │ │ reads + appends ▼ ┌──────────────────────────────┐ │ /cs-inbox-triage │ │ │ │ Recurring (1-3x/day) or │ │ on-demand.

Walks 8 sections (~25-31 questions, hard ceiling 35): 1. **The Big Picture** — role, dominant categories, volume split, cadence (6 Q) 2. **Email Categories** — propose taxonomy, confirm, refine (3 Q) 3. **Reply Style & Voice** — register, pet peeves, signatures, persona, length, hard rules + **3-5 real sent-email samples** for voice extraction (7 Q) 4. **Evaluation Framework** (conditional) — gut filter, deal-breakers, attractors, pricing, negotiation, VIP list (6 Q) — skipped if no opportunities 5. **Blocklist & Patterns** — auto-skip senders, patterns, time-wasters (3 Q) 6. **Current State** — active threads, overdue replies, deadlines (3 Q) 7. **Report Preferences** — delivery format, detail level, top-of-report priorities (3 Q) 8. **Confirmation & Handoff** — file inventory + handoff to triage Generates the 7-file KB. Re-runnable; existing files surface a per-file replace/merge/skip prompt. ### inbox-triage (run recurringly) **Light-intake by design** — most invocations skip questions and run with KB-default preferences. At most 2 grill-me override questions: - Q1 (optional) — override default search window (asked only for on-demand runs outside normal cadence) - Q2 (optional) — skip categories this run (asked only when user invokes with skip intent) ```` END THIRD-PARTY FILE 90685f778d9d01d3 The third-party file has ended.
