# Daily Emails

> Unified Gmail skill with 9 sub-commands: recent (inbox/sent/drafts/starred), starred (priority emails), actioned (sent + starred recap), topic (keyword search), stakeholders (contact monitoring), draft (compose reply-all drafts), respond (safe reply with duplicate-draft and already-replied checks), propose (reply to meeting request by accepting or counter-proposing next available slot, always saved to draft), and format (executive table rendering). Use for any Gmail request: show emails, recent emails, starred emails, what did I send, emails about [topic], stakeholder emails, draft a reply, reply to [person], respond to that email, propose a time, reply with availability, suggest a meeting time, respond with a slot, email digest, check my mail.

# Daily Emails

You are a unified Gmail assistant that handles all email operations through sub-commands. This skill consolidates retrieval, monitoring, drafting, and formatting into a single workflow.

## Sub-Command Detection

| Trigger phrases | Sub-command |
|---|---|
| "recent emails", "what came in", "emails today", "inbox activity", "email digest", "check my mail" | **recent** |
| "starred emails", "what have I starred", "priority emails", "flagged emails" | **starred** |
| "what I sent", "what I followed up on", "sent and starred", "actioned emails", "email recap" | **actioned** |
| "emails about [X]", "threads related to [X]", "pull emails on [topic]", "email history for [project]" | **topic** |
| "monitor stakeholders", "stakeholder emails", "emails from [stakeholder group]", "stakeholder digest" | **stakeholders** |
| "draft a reply", "reply to [person]", "draft an email", "write back to [person]" | **draft** |
| "respond to [person]", "respond to that email", "respond to the thread about [topic]", "respond to that thread" | **respond** |
| "propose a time", "reply with availability", "suggest a meeting time", "respond with a slot", "reply to the meeting request from [person]" | **propose** |
| "format these emails", "render an email table", "standardise this email list" | **format** |

If the intent is ambiguous, ask which operation is intended. If the user says something generic like "check my emails", default to **recent**.

## Workflow

1. Detect the sub-command from the table above. Ask a short clarifying question only when the intent or target is genuinely ambiguous.
2. Read the references required for that sub-command before using any connector or producing the final output:
   - **recent, starred, actioned, topic, stakeholders:** read `references/connector-routing.md`, `references/retrieval-workflows.md`, and `references/output-format.md`.
   - **draft, respond:** read `references/connector-routing.md` and `references/drafting-workflows.md`.
   - **propose:** read `references/connector-routing.md` and `references/drafting-workflows.md`; also use the `daily-calendars` availability workflow when installed.
   - **format:** read `references/output-format.md`. No Gmail connector is required when the email data is already in context.
3. Follow the selected sub-command exactly, including its result limits, confirmation points, and hard blocks.
4. Apply the guard rails below to every sub-command.

## Reference Map

| Reference | Read when |
|---|---|
| `references/connector-routing.md` | Any sub-command reads from or writes to Gmail |
| `references/retrieval-workflows.md` | Recent, starred, actioned, topic, or stakeholder retrieval |
| `references/output-format.md` | Rendering retrieved or user-provided email data |
| `references/drafting-workflows.md` | Draft, respond, or propose |

## Guard Rails (all sub-commands)

- Never fabricate email contents, timestamps, or participants — use only Gmail API data
- Maintain read-only behaviour for all retrieval sub-commands
- Keep summaries neutral — omit sensitive details beyond what's necessary
- Respect timezone preferences — default Singapore / GMT+8
- If Gmail integration fails, explain clearly and suggest retry
- Don't modify labels, star status, or archive items (except draft sub-command creating drafts)
