What it does

Draft Reply is an agent skill from kbanc85/claudia. Draft an email response with tone matching the relationship context. Shows draft for approval before sending. Use when user says "draft a reply", "respond to this email", "write a response to [person]", or shares an email and asks for help replying. See also: follow-up-draft for post-meeting thank-yous with meeting context.

Its SKILL.md is about 740 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 Email writing. The repository describes itself as: Terminal-based AI chief of staff. Remembers relationships, tracks commitments, helps you think strategically. Runs on Claude Code.

When your agent uses it

  • User says draft a reply
  • Respond to this email
  • Write a response to [person]
  • Shares an email and asks for help replying

Example prompts

  • “draft a reply”
  • “respond to this email”
  • “write a response to [person]”
  • “/draft-reply”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Opening acknowledgment
  2. Point-by-point responses (numbered or bulleted)
  3. Summary of any actions
  4. Clear next step
  5. Warm close

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eb63cec. 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

Draft Reply loads about 735 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 293 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~735

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 293 words (~735 tokens).
