Individual skill
inbox-zero-operator
Drive an email inbox to zero through a computer-use or tool-using agent — triage every message into act/delegate/defer/archive with drafts prepared, never a send. Use when asked to get my inbox to zero, triage my email hands-on, process my inbox for me, or run inbox zero. Produces the triage ledger, prepared reply drafts, and an approval-gated action plan the agent then executes read-mostly.

# Inbox Zero Operator Skill
The judgment layer for an agent that can actually touch a mailbox. The thinking half (what deserves you, what doesn't) and the acting half (archive, label, draft) are strictly separated: analysis is free, action is gated, and *sending* is never on the menu. (For triage-as-advice without tool access, `email-triage` covers you.)
## What This Skill Produces
- **The triage ledger** — every message classified: 🔴 act (needs you) · 🟡 delegate (draft prepared for someone else to own) · 🔵 defer (snooze with a date and reason) · ⚪ archive (with the one-line why)
- **Prepared drafts** — replies written and saved as drafts, never sent
- **The action plan** — the exact archive/label/snooze operations, shown before any are taken
## Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- **Scope** — whole inbox, unread only, or a date range (default: unread, newest 100)
