Today's Agent Skill: Email Triage Classifier

What It Does

The average office worker spends 28% of their workday on email. This skill classifies incoming messages by urgency and category so you focus on what matters and batch-process the rest.

How It Works

The Email Triage Classifier reads subject lines and message bodies, then assigns each email a priority (urgent, standard, low) and a category (client, internal, vendor, newsletter, spam). It can also draft one-line suggested responses for urgent items, cutting your decision time per message from minutes to seconds.

How to Deploy It

Attach this skill to your email agent or run it manually against your morning inbox dump. For semi-autonomous offices, schedule it as a cron job that processes unread mail every 30 minutes and drops a prioritized digest into your task manager.

- Flag anything with "invoice", "payment", or "overdue" as urgent regardless of sender
- Client emails always rank above internal at the
