What it does

Email Draft is an agent skill from prapaa-ai/agav. Draft emails and replies with the right tone — never sends them

Its SKILL.md is about 420 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-native AI coding assistant for real repositories. Inspect code, edit files, run tests, and verify changes from the CLI. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Email writing

Example prompts

  • “/email-draft”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): read_file, write_file, find_files

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather what you need: the recipient relationship (manager, client, stranger, team), the goal of the email, and any thread being replied…
  2. Match tone to audience
  3. Structure: a specific subject line ("Project timeline update", not "Question"), a one-line purpose up front, short paragraphs of 1-3…
  4. Keep it as short as the content allows. If it exceeds ~200 words, check whether some of it belongs in an attachment or a follow-up.
  5. For replies, answer every question raised in the original — re-scan the thread for anything missed.
  6. Present the draft in the conversation. On request, save it to a file; never overwrite an existing file.
  7. Never invent commitments, dates, or numbers. If a detail is unknown (price, deadline), write [TBD] in the draft and list what the user…
  8. Offer one alternative version (shorter, more formal, or softer) if the stakes are high.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e9582a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • read_file
    • write_file
    • find_files

    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 Draft loads about 421 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 231 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~421

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.

Email Draft

Draft emails and replies the user can copy into their mail client. This skill never sends anything.

Instructions

  1. Gather what you need: the recipient relationship (manager, client, stranger, team), the goal of the email, and any thread being replied to. If the tone is unclear, ask once — do not guess between "formal complaint" and "friendly nudge".
  2. Match tone to audience:
    • Internal/known: plain, direct, contractions fine.
    • Clients/external: professional but human; no jargon walls.
    • Difficult news (declines, delays, price changes): lead with the answer, then the reason, then the path forward.
  3. Structure: a specific subject line ("Project timeline update", not "Question"), a one-line purpose up front, short paragraphs of 1-3 sentences, and an explicit ask or next step so the reply needed is obvious.
  4. Keep it as short as the content allows. If it exceeds ~200 words, check whether some of it belongs in an attachment or a follow-up.
  5. For replies, answer every question raised in the original — re-scan the thread for anything missed.
  6. Present the draft in the conversation. On request, save it to a file; never overwrite an existing file.
  7. Never invent commitments, dates, or numbers. If a detail is unknown (price, deadline), write [TBD] in the draft and list what the user needs to fill in.
  8. Offer one alternative version (shorter, more formal, or softer) if the stakes are high.
