What it does

Inbox Reply is an agent skill from extruct-ai/gtm-skills. Manage and reply to lead responses in Instantly unibox. Fetches unread conversations, classifies reply intent, drafts contextual responses, and sends replies via Instantly API. Fits after campaign-sending in the GTM pipeline. Triggers on: "reply to leads", "inbox replies", "instantly inbox", "unibox", "respond to replies", "manage replies", "instantly replies", "check inbox", "lead replies", "answer leads".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/instantly-inbox-api.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Email management and Go-to-market strategy.

  5. Confirm and send

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 34406cb. 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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.instantly.ai

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • INSTANTLY_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Inbox Reply loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 448 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.2k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 448 words (~1,223 tokens).
