0upvotes

Convert an email (or a whole thread) into real tasks — the actual asks extracted from the prose, each with owner, deadline, and the done-test, so nothing lives in the inbox as its own reminder. Use when asked what am I actually being asked to do here, turn this thread into a task list, extract the action items from this email, or I keep re-reading this thread. Produces the ask extraction with quoted sources, the task list in owner-verb-deadline form, and the reply that confirms the commitments.

# Email To Tasks Skill

Long emails and longer threads hide their asks: three requests buried in paragraph four, a soft deadline in the sign-off, an implied "you'll handle this?" nobody confirmed. Until the asks are extracted, the *thread itself* becomes the task — re-read five times, actioned zero. This skill mines the actual requests (quoted, so nothing is invented), converts each into owner-verb-deadline form with a done-test, and drafts the confirming reply that turns assumptions into commitments.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The ask extraction** — every explicit and implied request, quoted from the source text
- **The task list** — each: owner · verb-first action · deadline (stated or proposed) · the done-test
- **The ambiguity list** — asks too vague to action, each with the clarifying question that fixes it
- **The confirming reply** — the short message that locks owners and dates before anyone's assumption diverges
