# Cowork Inbox Triage

Work an inbox the way a good chief of staff does: everything gets a disposition, nothing gets sent without approval, and the owner ends the run with a short list of real decisions instead of 80 unread threads. Uses the connected mail tools (Microsoft 365 or Gmail MCP connectors) for reading, labeling, and drafting.

## Setup

On first run, learn the owner's voice: read 10-15 sent replies and note greeting style, sign-off, sentence length, and formality. Store the profile in the conversation and reuse it for every draft. Ask once which categories matter (default set below) and what the auto-archive rules are.

## Workflow

1. **Sweep.** Pull unread and flagged threads from the last cycle (default: 24 hours). Group by thread, not message.
2. **Classify** every thread into exactly one bucket:
   - `NEEDS DECISION` -- only the owner can answer (pricing, commitments, personnel)
   - `DRAFT READY` -- routine reply Claude can write for approval
