Inbox Triage

Triage by exception, not summary. Cowork surfaces only the mail that needs a decision, carries a deadline, or comes from your management chain — with a recommended action and a draft reply — and compresses everything else into one paragraph.

Why this skill exists

"Summarize my inbox" is the most-demoed and least-useful Copilot prompt in existence. A summary of 60 emails is a 60-line list — you've traded reading email for reading about email. The actual job of triage is different: find the handful of messages where your absence costs something, and make the rest disappear with a clear conscience.

This skill encodes triage-by-exception. Three tests, and only three: does it need a decision from me, does it have a deadline, is it from my management chain. Pass one test and you get surfaced with context, a recommended action, and a ready-to-edit draft reply. Fail all three and you get one sentence in a digest paragraph.

The rest is for members.

Full operational depth — the workarounds, the scripts, the deploy steps, and every downloadable artifact. One membership, every guide, skill pack, agent, and workflow in the hangar. From $5/month.
