email-management-expert — Claude Code skill: how to install
Guides your coding agent through Apple Mail triage and folder sorting via MCP tools. Helpful when reaching Inbox Zero or finding misplaced threads.
npx skills add sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills --skill email-management-expert -a claude-codeWhat email-management-expert does
This skill equips coding assistants with clear routines for the Apple Mail MCP toolset. It instructs the model to inspect the mailbox first via get_inbox_overview before modifying items. After checking unread counts, the assistant prepares replies and files messages into designated project folders.
Search strategies cover sender filters and date windows. For housekeeping, it outlines a staged cleanup routine. Destructive steps demand user confirmation, while batch deletions respect a default safety limit of 5 through max_deletes.
The instructions depend on an active Apple Mail MCP server. Without those underlying tools, the skill cannot act on any mailbox.
What it helps with
- triage inbox messages toward Inbox Zero
- sort client threads into designated mailboxes
- locate messages with attachments across folders
- clean up old mail safely with batch limits
Example prompts for the agent
- Give me an overview of unread Apple Mail messages and identify urgent requests.
- Archive all read emails older than 30 days from my inbox.
- Search for messages from last month with attachments and save them.
