What it does
Email Triage is an agent skill from gnekt/My-Brain-Is-Full-Crew. Scan and process unread emails. Scores by priority (VIP, urgency, deadlines), classifies, saves relevant emails as vault notes, and generates a triage report. Triggers: EN: "check my email", "what's in my inbox", "process emails", "email triage", "anything urgent in email?", "save important emails". IT: "controlla le email", "cosa c'è nella mia inbox", "triage email", "processa le email", "email urgenti". FR: "vérifier mes emails", "trier mes emails". ES: "revisar mi correo", "triaje de emails". DE: "E-Mails…
Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k 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: Built by a PhD whose memory was failing, whose diet was a mess, and whose anxiety had its own agenda. Most second brain tools ignore the fact that your brain doesn't work in…

- Tasks that involve Email management
Example prompts
- “check my email”
- “s in my inbox”
- “process emails”
- “/email-triage”
Workflow steps
9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Detect backend: check which CLI tools are available (which hey, which gws). If both are available, check {{meta}}/user-profile.md for the…
- Scan inbox — prefer named scripts over inline commands (they are pre-approved and run without permission prompts)
- Read messages: for each email, read the full content
- Priority scoring: for each email, calculate a priority score based on
- Classification: for each email, determine the category (see templates below).
- Filtering: discard irrelevant emails (newsletters, promotions, automated notifications) — do not create notes for these.
- Note creation: for relevant emails, create structured notes in {{inbox}}/.
- Thread intelligence: for email threads, follow the full conversation and summarize the latest state, not just the last message.
- Final report: present a summary of what was saved and what was ignored, sorted by priority.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 238ae8c. 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 (its code samples are markdown).
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 4.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 152 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,581 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,581 words (~4,570 tokens).
