Email Review Skill

Review recent emails and extract action items organized by person.

Workflow

1. Get recent emails using get_recent_emails tool:

   • folder: "Inbox" (or as specified)
   • days: 3 (or as specified)
   • limit: 50

2. For each email, identify:

   • Sender name and email
   • Key topic/subject
   • Any explicit requests or asks
   • Deadlines mentioned
   • Questions requiring response
   • Commitments made by others
   • FYIs that need acknowledgment

3. Categorize action items by type:

   • Reply needed - questions or requests awaiting response
   • Task to do - explicit asks with deliverables
   • Follow up - items to check back on
   • Review/Approve - documents or decisions pending
   • FYI - informational, no action required

4. Output format:

## Email Summary
Reviewed X emails from [folder] (last N days)

## Action Items by Person

### [Person Name] <email@example.com>
- [ ] **Reply needed**: [subject] - [brief description of what's needed]
- [ ] **Task**: [subject] - [what to do] (due: [date if mentioned])

### [Person Name 2]
- [ ] **Follow up**: [subject] - [what to check on]

## No Action Required
- [Person]: [subject] - [one-line summary] (FYI only)

## Flagged/Urgent
