What Inbox Management does

Inbox Management keeps a Gmail inbox clean on a schedule by archiving known noise, flagging urgent items, and drafting replies in-thread without ever auto-sending. Use it after a one-time cleanup to maintain inbox zero, starting in flag-only mode and earning autonomy through a three-stage trust ladder.

Inbox Management is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Inbox Management comes from a repository tagged agent, agentic-ai, ai-assistant, anthropic and autonomous-agents.

Runs as a scheduled task (via the schedule skill). Each run should be silent unless something is worth interrupting the user for.

Default posture: high recall on noise archiving, high precision on user interruption. Archive aggressively on known-safe patterns. Ping sparingly. Never auto-send a reply. When unsure, flag instead of archiving.

Trust Ladder

A single wrong archive of an important email kills trust. Earn autonomy in stages:
