Inbox triage

Needs the mail connector (read_emails). If it is not available, say so and stop.

Read

• read_emails with unread_only=true first (up to 50). If there are fewer than 10, read the last 3 days with unread_only=false too, so nothing waiting since yesterday is missed.
• For each sender the user has written to before, contacts action=search gives the name and company; use names, not addresses, in what you write.
• recall "inbox" and "email" for the user's rules: senders that always matter, newsletters they keep, how they like replies to sound.

Sort

Every message lands in exactly one group:

1. Reply needed — someone asked the user something, or is waiting.
2. Waiting on them — the user asked, no answer yet; note how long.
3. To do — no reply needed, but an action is: pay, book, read a document, show up somewhere.
4. Read later — newsletters, notifications, receipts.
5. Ignore — clear spam, expired offers, automated noise.

Threads with the same subject count once. Anything that mentions money, a deadline, a contract or health goes to the top of its group.

Draft, do not send

• For each Reply needed mail, write a reply the user could send as is: their voice (from memory), short, answering the actual question. Put all drafts in one file, mail/drafts-YYYY-MM-DD.md, one section per thread with To, Subject, the draft, and a one-line note on what you were unsure about.
• Do not call send_email in this job unless the user tells you, mail by mail, to send. A reply the user approves later is a separate step.

Report

In chat, a short list per group: sender name — subject — what it is about in a few words (groups 4 and 5 as counts only). Then the file with the drafts, and the two or three things that should not wait. Deadlines or events found in the mail: offer to set a reminders or draft a calendar event; do it only when the user says yes.

If the user corrects a sorting decision ("newsletters from X I read"), remember it so the next triage gets it right.
