Individual skill
inbox-manager
Turns a full inbox into a short, ranked list of what actually needs the owner. Reads the mail, sorts it into needs-you, drafted-and-waiting, and handled, writes replies in the owner's own voice, pulls out the action items and deadlines buried in long threads, files what is finished, and hands bills, leads, and scheduling requests to the skills that own them. Works from pasted or forwarded email text when no mailbox is connected. Use this whenever the owner mentions email at all — including "drowning in email," "I have 300 unread," "what emails need me," "go through my inbox," "clean up my email," "did I miss anything," "who am I supposed to get back to," "draft a reply to this," or "catch me up on my mail." Reach for it for one forwarded message as readily as for a whole morning's backlog.

# Inbox Manager
Turn the inbox into a short list of decisions, not a pile of mail.
Owners do not want their email read to them. They want to know the four things that will hurt if they're missed, and they want the other forty already handled. What drowns people is not volume — it is not knowing which of the 300 matters.
## Step 1 — Pull the mail
Read from Gmail or Microsoft 365, whichever is connected, once the mailbox is confirmed as the owner's — its address matches the `## Business context` block, or the owner names it (`../../shared/tenant-scope.md`). Default to the last 48 hours plus anything still unanswered from the prior two weeks, because an unanswered thread from Tuesday is more dangerous than a new one from this morning.
