At a glance

  • The user asks to triage
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Make sense of their inbox

What it does

Inbox Triage is an agent skill from amd/gaia. Sort an inbox into what needs a reply, what needs a decision, and what is just noise. Use when the user asks to triage, catch up on, clean up, or make sense of their inbox.

Its SKILL.md is about 320 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Email management. The repository describes itself as: Build AI agents for your PC. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to triage
  • Make sense of their inbox

Example prompts

  • “/inbox-triage”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 05fb50b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Inbox Triage loads about 320 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 139 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~320

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Inbox Triage

Triage answers one question per message: does a human have to act on this?

  • Scan first (pre_scan_inbox, then triage_inbox); never open messages one by one to build a picture.
  • Buckets, in order: needs a reply · needs a decision · for information · noise.
  • Open only what the category can't settle. Sender + subject usually decide it.
  • Act on the reversible end only — mark read, star, label, archive. Reply, send, and delete are proposals the user confirms.

Report one opening sentence and stop: how many items need attention, and how much of the mailbox was scanned. The numbered breakdown is rendered from the scan itself — do not write it out, and never re-list, renumber, or summarise those items yourself.

Age beats volume. A thread the user already answered is handled. "URGENT" in a subject line is a claim, not a fact.
