What it does
Spark Recipe Notification Hygiene is an agent skill from readdle/spark-cli-skills. Tame notification overload by reclassifying noisy senders, grouping repetitive notifications, and bulk-archiving cleared alerts.
Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/spark-recipe-notification-hygiene”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cb20383. 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 bash).
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
Spark Recipe Notification Hygiene loads about 700 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 289 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.
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.

Recipe: Notification Hygiene
Tame notification overload by identifying noisy senders, reclassifying misplaced mail, grouping repetitive notifications, and clearing out what's no longer relevant.
Prerequisite: Read the use-spark base skill for command reference and filter syntax.
Access level required: triage.
Steps
Step 1: Assess notification volume
spark emails Inbox --filter "category:notification is:unread"Count the unread notifications. If the number is high, scan the sender list for patterns - which senders dominate?
Step 2: Identify noisy senders
Look for senders that generate high-volume, low-value notifications (CI bots, social media alerts, shipping updates after delivery, etc.).
Read a few to confirm they're noise:
spark thread <id>Step 3: Reclassify misplaced senders
Some "notifications" are really newsletters in disguise:
spark contact-action changeCategoryNewsletters noisy-digest@example.comSome are actually from real people and should be in People:
spark contact-action changeCategoryPersonal colleague@example.comThese changes apply to all future mail from the sender.
Step 4: Group repetitive senders
For senders that are useful but send too often (CI systems, monitoring alerts):
spark contact-action groupEmailsFromContact ci-bot@company.comThis collapses their messages into grouped entries, reducing inbox clutter while keeping them accessible.
Step 5: Bulk archive cleared notifications
For notifications that have been seen and are no longer relevant:
spark action archive <id1> <id2> <id3>Pass multiple IDs in a single command to archive in batch.
Step 6: Disable notifications for low-priority senders
For senders whose emails you want to receive but not be alerted about:
spark contact-action unmarkContactAsImportant alerts@service.comTips
- The goal is to reduce the notification count to a manageable number, not zero - some notifications are genuinely useful.
- Reclassification at the contact level (
contact-action) is more effective than per-message (action) because it fixes all future mail. - Grouping is a middle ground between keeping and blocking - the emails still arrive but don't flood the inbox.
- Run this recipe after a vacation or any period of inbox neglect to quickly get notifications under control.
- Combine with
recipe-newsletter-cleanupfor a full inbox declutter session.
