What does this do

You're drowning in email. Between marketing noise, social notifications, and messages that don't need replies, you can't tell what actually needs your attention. Manual filtering rules and auto-sorting don't understand context the way a good executive assistant would.

How It Works

You run `/email` each morning. Claude scans your inbox using Gmail MCP tools, reads subjects and senders, and classifies each email into three tiers: Reply Needed (things requiring action from you), Review (informational but important), and Noise (marketing and bulk). For urgent items, you can ask Claude to draft a reply matching your writing style, review it, and confirm before sending. The whole triage takes about 30 seconds.
