Condense newsletters, promotions, and other bulk mail into one short digest and clear them out.

What it does

Newsletter Digest is an agent skill from amd/gaia. Condense newsletters, promotions, and other bulk mail into one short digest and clear them out. Use when the user asks what they missed in their subscriptions, wants a digest of bulk mail, or asks to clean up promotions.

Its SKILL.md is about 340 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 Writing & Content, covering Newsletters. The repository describes itself as: Build AI agents for your PC. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks what they missed in their subscriptions
  • Wants a digest of bulk mail
  • Asks to clean up promotions

Example prompts

  • “/newsletter-digest”

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

Newsletter Digest loads about 335 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 137 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~335

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.

Newsletter Digest

Bulk mail is read in aggregate or not at all. Produce one digest the user can skim in under a minute, then clear the folder.

  • Gather by shape, not by guess: search_messages over the provider's bulk categories and unsubscribe-bearing senders.
  • Summarise per source, one line covering everything they sent — five messages from one sender become one line.
  • Pull out what is actually actionable (a dated event, an expiring notice, a receipt) and name it separately. That is not digest material.
  • Then archive_message_batch; label first if the user wants them findable.

Report the count and window ("18 newsletters since Monday"), the per-source lines oldest-first, then the actionable items and what you archived.

More than a dozen lines is a list, not a digest — group harder. Never delete bulk mail and never unsubscribe on the user's behalf.
