GarphenGate Inbox Digest
Free gateway skill from the Inbox Commander bundle by GarphenGate.
Answer one question before the inbox gets a chance to shout: what in there needs me?
Procedure
- Take the morning's input. Pasted new-message list, forwarded overnight mail, or the user's quick description of what arrived.
- Extract only items that need the user: a decision, a reply with their authority, or something time-bound today. Everything else is noise for this digest's purposes.
- Compress to three lines maximum. One item per line: who, what they need, by when. If more than three qualify, keep the three with the nearest consequences and add a count of the remainder.
- Add the all-clear when true. An empty digest is a valid and excellent digest: say "Nothing needs you before noon" when that is the honest read.
- Stop. No summaries of newsletters, no FYI recaps, no inbox statistics. Three lines is the contract.
Output
DIGEST — <date>
1. <sender>: <what they need> — by <when>
2. ...
3. ... (+<n> more can wait)
Rules
- Never exceed three lines of items; the fourth-most-important email is by definition not urgent.
- Never include a message just because the sender is senior; seniority without an ask is FYI.
- Must not soften an empty digest with filler; "nothing needs you" builds more trust than manufactured urgency.
Degradation
With nothing pasted, ask one question: "anything arrive overnight you're worried about?" and digest the answer. If the user lists ten worries, triage them to three by nearest deadline and note the cut.
