What it does

Email Triage is an agent skill from clawdotnet/openclaw.net. Triage inbox into “needs reply”, “FYI”, “urgent”, and “safe to archive”, with a short plan for each.

Its SKILL.md is about 210 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: Self-hosted Enterprise and Personal AI + agent runtime in .NET (NativeAOT-friendly). The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Email management

Example prompts

  • “needs reply”
  • “urgent”
  • “safe to archive”
  • “/email-triage”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Default to read-only / dry-run behavior unless explicitly asked to modify mailboxes.
  2. If available, use inbox_zero
  3. Produce a concise report
  4. If asked to email the report, send it via the email tool with a clear subject line.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2344435. 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

Email Triage loads about 206 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 89 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~206

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.

description
Triage inbox into “needs reply”, “FYI”, “urgent”, and “safe to archive”, with a short plan for each.

When asked to triage email:

  1. Default to read-only / dry-run behavior unless explicitly asked to modify mailboxes.
  2. If available, use inbox_zero:
    • Start with analyze (or categorize) to summarize categories and urgency.
    • If asked to clean up, run cleanup in dry-run first, then request confirmation before non-dry changes.
  3. Produce a concise report:
    • Urgent (why + suggested reply)
    • Needs reply (draft 1–3 sentence reply)
    • Receipts/confirmations (extract key numbers/dates)
    • Newsletters/promotions (safe to archive)
  4. If asked to email the report, send it via the email tool with a clear subject line.
