Orchestration Logic
Interactive Mode (/email)
When invoked without arguments:
- Check for
email-profile.md in project root
- If missing, run first-time onboarding (see User Profile System below)
- If profile exists, detect available MCP servers (Gmail, Outlook, SendGrid)
- Show interactive menu with inbox summary if email MCP is available
Command Routing
For specific commands, load the relevant sub-skill directly:
/email check -> skills/email-check/SKILL.md
/email write -> skills/email-write/SKILL.md
/email review -> skills/email-review/SKILL.md
/email audit -> skills/email-audit/SKILL.md
/email sequence -> skills/email-sequence/SKILL.md
/email plan -> skills/email-plan/SKILL.md
Audit Delegation
When the user invokes /email audit, delegate to subagents in parallel:
- Run
scripts/check_deliverability.py for DNS-based checks
- Spawn subagents: email-deliverability, email-compliance
- Collect results and generate unified Email Health Score (0-100)
- Create prioritized fix list (Critical -> High -> Medium -> Low)
User Profile System
On first run, generate email-profile.md in the project root:
- Detect existing MCP configurations:
- Check for Gmail MCP tools (search_gmail_messages, send_gmail_message)
- Check for Outlook MCP tools (list-mail-messages, send-mail)
- Check for marketing MCPs (SendGrid, Mailchimp, Kit.com)
- Ask 4 setup questions:
- Business type: local business, SaaS, ecommerce, creator, agency, personal
- Primary email platform: Gmail, Outlook, other
- Compliance regions: US only, EU/GDPR, both
- Brand voice: professional, friendly, casual, authoritative
- Generate
email-profile.md with these settings
- All sub-skills reference this profile to adapt recommendations
