inbox-zero-operator
Drive an email inbox to zero through a computer-use or tool-using agent — triage every message into act/delegate/defer/archive with drafts prepared, never a send. Use when asked to get my inbox to zero, triage my email hands-on, process my inbox for me, or run inbox zero. Produces the triage ledger, prepared reply drafts, and an approval-gated action plan the agent then executes read-mostly.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Inbox Zero Operator Skill The judgment layer for an agent that can actually touch a mailbox. The thinking half (what deserves you, what doesn't) and the acting half (archive, label, draft) are strictly separated: analysis is free, action is gated, and *sending* is never on the menu. (For triage-as-advice without tool access, `email-triage` covers you.) ## What This Skill Produces - **The triage ledger** — every message classified: 🔴 act (needs you) · 🟡 delegate (draft prepared for someone else to own) · 🔵 defer (snooze with a date and reason) · ⚪ archive (with the one-line why) - **Prepared drafts** — replies written and saved as drafts, never sent - **The action plan** — the exact archive/label/snooze operations, shown before any are taken ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **Scope** — whole inbox, unread only, or a date range (default: unread, newest 100) - **The user's role and current priorities** — triage without priorities is sorting, not judgment - **Standing rules** — senders who always matter, threads to never touch, newsletters policy - **Delegation targets** — who drafts can be addressed to ## Framework: The Triage Pass 1. **Thread-level, not messag

Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
