Respond To Message

Use this skill only when the current message has already been classified as urgent.

Before drafting, consult these references:

  • references/voice-and-tone.md
  • references/response-structure.md
  • references/do-and-dont.md

Output file

Write the reply to outbox/<original-stem>-response.md.

Example:

  • inbox/message7.md -> outbox/message7-response.md

Reply format

Use this simple markdown mail format:

Subject: Re: <original subject>
To: <original sender>

<reply body>

Requirements

  • acknowledge the request directly
  • be brief and concrete
  • state the next action, owner, or timing
  • if facts are missing, ask only the minimum clarifying question needed
  • do not promise work that the original message does not justify
  • do not write a reply for non-urgent messages
