What it does

Inbox Archive is an agent skill from yc-software/recruiting. Suggest inbox emails that are "complete" and safe to archive. Shows the list for the hiring manager to review and confirm before archiving anything. Use when the user asks "clean up my inbox", "archive noise", "what can I archive", or "clear out the junk".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Slack.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks clean up my inbox
  • What can I archive
  • Clear out the junk

Example prompts

  • “complete”
  • “clean up my inbox”
  • “archive noise”
  • “/inbox-archive”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, mcp__google-workspace__gmail_query_emails, mcp__google-workspace__gmail_get_email, mcp__google-workspace__gmail_archive, mcp__google-workspace__gmail_bulk_archive

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Pull inbox
  2. Classify each email as archivable or not
  3. Present the suggestion — DO NOT ARCHIVE YET
  4. Wait for confirmation
  5. Execute (only after approval)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d2d6543. 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:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • mcp__google-workspace__gmail_query_emails
    • mcp__google-workspace__gmail_get_email
    • mcp__google-workspace__gmail_archive
    • mcp__google-workspace__gmail_bulk_archive

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • vercel

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use vercel, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Inbox Archive loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 451 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 451 words (~1,243 tokens).
