Ongoing Gmail inbox management via scheduled runs. Archives known noise, flags urgent items, drafts replies in-thread (never auto-sends), and catches stale follow-ups. Empty polls spend no model tokens. Starts in flag-only mode.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Inbox Management Skill

Companion to `inbox-cleanup`. Cleanup drains the backlog once. **Management keeps the inbox clean on a schedule**: archiving noise, flagging urgents, drafting replies, and catching stale follow-ups.

Runs as a **script-mode schedule**. Each fire polls Gmail deterministically. An empty poll (no new inbox mail and no due follow-up) exits without waking the assistant, so leftover Stage 0 mail is not re-judged every few hours. The assistant runs only when the poll attaches a digest.

> **Default posture:** high recall on noise archiving, high precision on user interruption. Archive aggressively on known-safe patterns. Ping sparingly. Never auto-send a reply. When unsure, flag instead of archiving.

---

## Trust Ladder

A single wrong archive of an important email kills trust. Earn autonomy in stages:

| Stage                      | Archive behavior                                                                                                                                         | Draft behavior                                | Alerts              |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vellum-ai/vellum-assistant/inbox-management@sha256:3215c7b67d14e60d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.5802532, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
