# Email Triage System Skill
Inboxes overflow because every message gets the same treatment: opened, half-read, left "for later" — and later compounds. Triage replaces reading with *deciding*: every message gets exactly one of four verbs on first touch, the two-minute rule handles the small stuff instantly, and the system runs on a cadence measured in minutes per day, not heroic weekend purges.
## What This Skill Produces
- **The triage pass** — the current backlog sorted into the four verbs, oldest-first batches
- **The four-verb rules** — archive / reply-now / task / park, with the decision test for each
- **The minimal structure** — 3–4 labels maximum; folders are where email goes to die
- **The daily cadence** — two fixed windows, timeboxed, with the backlog-never-returns rule
