What it does
Email Draft In Voice is an agent skill from yc-software/qm. Draft Gmail in the user's own voice from the voice profile built by email-voice-profile. Drafts only; the user reviews and sends.
Its SKILL.md is about 480 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, Brand voice and tone and Email management. It works with Gmail. The repository describes itself as: Multiplayer agent harness for work. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Email writing
- Tasks that involve Brand voice and tone
- Tasks that involve Email management
Example prompts
- “/email-draft-in-voice”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read the full thread you're replying to through the selected email access skill —
- Write the body to a file — plain text, one line per paragraph, blank line between.
- Self-check against the profile before showing anything: opener and sign-off drawn
- Show the user the exact text and ask for approval before creating any draft.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 747be10. 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
Email Draft In Voice loads about 481 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 281 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.

- email-draft-in-voice
- description
- Draft Gmail in the user's own voice from the voice profile built by email-voice-profile. Drafts only; the user reviews and sends.
Draft email in the user's voice
Use this when the user asks you to write or reply to email as them — "draft a reply to this", "write back to her for me", "answer my inbox in my voice".
Load the profile first — never freehand
Read voice/email-voice-profile.md from the workspace. If it doesn't exist, run the
email-voice-profile skill first (personal DM only) — do not improvise a voice from
memory or from this conversation's tone. The profile's Hard rules and
Anti-patterns sections are constraints, not suggestions.
Draft
- Read the full thread you're replying to through the selected email access skill — never draft from a snippet or excerpt; a question below the fold would go silently unanswered. Match the register the profile prescribes for this audience.
- Write the body to a file — plain text, one line per paragraph, blank line between. Plain text only — never styled HTML (fonts, colors, buttons).
- Self-check against the profile before showing anything: opener and sign-off drawn from their real ones, sentence rhythm right, no anti-pattern present. If a sentence could appear in anyone's email, rewrite it or cut it.
- Show the user the exact text and ask for approval before creating any draft.
Save the draft
Use the selected email access skill to create or update the Gmail draft, preserving reply threading and recipients. Sending is a separate action and requires explicit approval of the draft for sending.
Afterward
Tell the user where the draft landed in Gmail Drafts and keep the draft id in the workspace so it can be updated. If they edit your text, notice what they changed — recurring corrections belong in the voice profile as hard rules; offer to add them.
