At a glance

Sweep the user's REAL mail and calendar for dropped balls — threads awaiting their reply, promises they made, and replies they're owed — then draft the nudges.

  • Works in 3 steps: You owe them — a direct question or ask… → They owe you — you asked, no reply after… → You promised — "I'll send X by Friday"…
  • Asked what am I forgetting
  • SKILL.md covers What This Skill Produces, Required Inputs, Framework: The Three Open Loops and Execution (Cowork), plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Followup Sweep is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Sweep the user's REAL mail and calendar for dropped balls — threads awaiting their reply, promises they made, and replies they're owed — then draft the nudges. Use when asked what am I forgetting, what have I not replied to, who owes me a reply, or chase my open threads in Cowork. Reads sent/received mail via the Gmail connector and recent events via Calendar, finds the open loops, and produces a follow-up-list artifact plus ready-to-send draft nudges.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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. It works with Gmail. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked what am I forgetting
  • What have I not replied to
  • Who owes me a reply
  • Chase my open threads in Cowork

Example prompts

  • “/followup-sweep”

Workflow steps

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

  1. You owe them — a direct question or ask you haven't answered → reply-now or a holding note.
  2. They owe you — you asked, no reply after a reasonable gap → a nudge.
  3. You promised — "I'll send X by Friday" with no evidence it went → deliver or renegotiate.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Followup Sweep loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 118 tokens; SKILL.md has 519 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~118
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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
Sweep the user's REAL mail and calendar for dropped balls — threads awaiting their reply, promises they made, and replies they're owed — then draft the nudges. Use when asked what am I forgetting, what have I not replied to, who owes me a reply, or chase my open threads in Cowork. Reads sent/received mail via the Gmail connector and recent events via Calendar, finds the open loops, and produces a follow-up-list artifact plus ready-to-send draft nudges.

Follow-up Sweep (Live)

Dropped balls hide in the sent folder: the reply you promised, the question you asked that never came back, the thread that stalled after you. In Claude Cowork this skill scans the real account for those open loops and drafts the nudges so nothing important dies of silence.

What This Skill Produces

  • The open-loop list — threads awaiting the user's reply, promises the user made with no follow-through, and replies the user is owed
  • Draft nudges — short, polite chase messages created as Gmail drafts for the ones worth sending
  • A follow-up-sweep artifact — everything found, ranked by staleness and stakes, with the suggested action per item

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Window — how far back to sweep (default: last 14 days)
  • Who counts — everyone, or just external/customers/VIPs
  • Draft or list-only — may it write draft nudges? (default: yes, drafts only)

Framework: The Three Open Loops

  1. You owe them — a direct question or ask you haven't answered → reply-now or a holding note.
  2. They owe you — you asked, no reply after a reasonable gap → a nudge.
  3. You promised — "I'll send X by Friday" with no evidence it went → deliver or renegotiate.

Execution (Cowork)

  1. Scan — via the Gmail connector, read recent received mail (unanswered questions to you) and sent mail (your questions/promises). Via Calendar, note commitments tied to past events.
  2. Detect loops — match each thread to one of the three loops; use the last message's direction and age. Ignore newsletters, notifications, and resolved threads.
  3. Rank — by staleness × stakes (external/customer/named-deadline outrank internal chatter).
  4. Draft — for nudge-worthy items, create short, warm Gmail drafts (never sent): reference the thread, restate the ask, propose a next step.
  5. Emit the artifact — the ranked follow-up list with the drafted-vs-manual split.

Guardrails: drafts only, never auto-send; don't nudge someone who replied in a thread you missed — re-check the latest message; never invent a promise the user didn't make; if a connector is unauthorised, produce the list from what's available and say what's missing.

Output Format

A Follow-up Sweep artifact:

Summary

N open loops · X you owe · Y owed to you · Z promises · D drafts ready

Ranked follow-ups
ThreadLoop typeAgeStakesSuggested action
Drafts created
  • [subject] → draft ready; one-line summary of the nudge
Judgement calls (left for you)
  • [thread] — why it wasn't auto-drafted

Quality Checks

  • Nothing was sent — only drafted
  • Each item is correctly typed (you owe / owed / promised) from the real last message
  • Resolved threads were excluded (checked the latest message, not just the first)
  • Ranking reflects staleness AND stakes, not date alone
  • Promises attributed to the user actually appear in their sent mail

Anti-Patterns

  • Nudging on a thread that was already answered — always read the latest message.
  • Auto-sending chases — draft, let the human send.
  • Inventing a promise to manufacture a follow-up.
  • Flat date-sort that buries a stale customer thread under fresh internal noise.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "What am I forgetting to follow up on?"
  • "Sweep my inbox for dropped balls and draft the nudges."
  • "Who owes me a reply, and who am I ignoring?"
  • "Chase my open threads from the last two weeks in Cowork."
