Inbox to action

Telemetry shows users don't just read email — they turn it into action: read → reply → schedule a meeting or create a reminder. This skill codifies that end-to-end flow. Every tool below works with Apple Mail, Calendar and Reminders, so the flow runs only on macOS.

The flow

1. Surface what needs attention — search_emails/list_emails (pass account= to stay fast),

then read_email on the ones that matter. Summarize: who, what they want, urgency.

1. Reply — create_draft (with reply_to_message_id for replies). Compose the draft; the

user reviews and sends it. Never auto-send.

1. Turn the email into action when it implies one:

• A meeting request → create_calendar_event (confirm calendar + exact times first).
• A task/follow-up → create_reminder (with a due date if the email implies one).

Good practice

• Batch: skim the inbox, group into "needs reply", "schedule this", "just FYI".
• For each "needs reply", draft a concise response in the user's voice; show it before saving.
• When an email says "let's meet Tuesday", propose a concrete slot (check list_calendar_events

for conflicts) and create the event on confirmation.

• Destructive/outgoing steps are preview-first: show the draft / the event, confirm, then apply.
• Keep the user in control — propose, don't auto-execute sends or deletes.
