What you're getting

Not a tip. A real Claude Skill
that runs on your inbox.

Every feature below is built into the skill file and customized to your business during a short setup interview.

Buckets
🗂️

Four buckets, defined by you

Urgent, Needs a Reply, FYI, and Archive — captured from your specific business, not a one-size-fits-all template.

Voice
✍️

Replies drafted in your voice

You set the tone, the sign-off, the length, and the phrases you never want written. Drafts sound like you wrote them.

Report
📋

A formatted triage report

Instead of opening Gmail cold, you start with a structured report — what needs action, what to ignore, what's already drafted.

Priority
🎯

Built around your VIPs and noise

The interview captures your high-priority senders and the platforms you never open — the skill sorts both from day one.

Flexible
🔁

Updates in five minutes

New team member, new platform, new noise category — tell Claude what changed and the skill file updates in one conversation.

Automate

Ready to automate with Cowork

Once your triage output is dialed in, schedule it to run automatically every morning through Cowork in Claude Desktop.

Setup in one session

Five steps from download to daily triage

01

Download the skill file

A file called daily-triage-skill-interview.md lands in your inbox immediately after signup — this is the file you upload to Claude to kick off the interview.

02

Install it in your Claude account

Go to Customize in your Claude account, upload the file, and confirm the skill update. Free and paid Claude accounts both work.

03

Run the 9-question setup interview

Open a new Claude chat and say "Let's build my triage skill." Claude asks you 9 questions, one at a time, and generates your personalized skill file at the end.

04

Connect your Gmail Connector

Go to Settings, then Connectors, and authorize Gmail. The skill cannot read your inbox without the Connector active.

05

Run triage before you open your inbox

That's the whole shift. You start the day with a sorted, prioritized list instead of an unread count — a genuinely different experience.

Questions

Before you download

Do I need a paid Claude account?

No. The skill installs and runs on free Claude accounts. A paid account gives you more daily messages, which matters if you're triaging a very high-volume inbox, but it isn't required to get started.

Is it safe to connect my Gmail?

You're connecting through Claude's own built-in Gmail Connector, the same permission model you'd use for any Google-authorized app. You control the connection from your Claude account settings and can revoke it any time.

What if my business doesn't look like Monica's?

That's the point of the 9-question interview — it builds your buckets, your VIP senders, and your noise list from your answers, not a template. Solo service providers, agencies, and product businesses all use it with different setups.

Can I change the rules after I install it?

Yes. Tell Claude what changed in a normal conversation — a new team member, a platform you no longer check, a sender who should always be urgent — and the skill file updates in that same conversation.

Does it send emails on its own?

No. It drafts replies for you to review, edit, and send yourself from Gmail. Nothing goes out without you.
