email-ops

Email Ops Use this when the real task is mailbox work: triage, drafting, replying, sending, or proving a message landed in Sent. This is not a generic writing skill. It is an operator workflow around the actual mail surface. Skill Stack Pull these ECC-native skills into the workflow when relevant: brand-voice before drafting anything user-facing investor-outreach for investor, partner, or sponsor-facing mail customer-billing-ops when the thread is a billing/support incident rather than generic correspondence knowledge-ops when the message or thread should be captured into durable context afterward research-ops when a reply depends on fresh external facts When to Use user asks to triage inbox or archive low-signal mail user wants a draft, reply, or new outbound email user wants to know whether a mail was already sent the user wants proof of which account, thread, or Sent entry was used Guardrails draft first unless the user clearly asked for a live send never claim a message was sent without a real Sent-folder or client-side confirmation do not switch sender accounts casually; choose the account that matches the project and recipient do not delete uncertain business mail during cleanup if the task is really DM or iMessage work, hand off to messages-ops Workflow 1. Resolve the exact surface Before acting, settle: which mailbox account which thread or recipient whether the task is triage, draft, reply, or send whether the user wants draft-only or live send 2. Read the thread before composing If replying: read the existing thread identify the last outbound touch identify any commitments, deadlines, or unanswered questions If creating a new outbound: identify warmth level select the correct channel and sender account pull brand-voice before drafting 3. Draft, then verify For draft-only work: produce the final copy state sender, recipient, subject, and purpose For live-send work: verify the exact final body first send through the chosen mail surface confirm the message landed in Sent or the equivalent sent-copy store 4. Report exact state Use exact status words: drafted approval-pending sent blocked awaiting verification If the send surface is blocked, preserve the draft and report the exact blocker instead of improvising a second transport without saying so.
