An assistant for building and running transactional email systems—the automated emails an application sends, such as receipts, alerts, and password resets. It covers email services, templates, and delivery setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to connect Resend, Amazon SES, SendGrid, Postmark, Mailgun, or SMTP; create responsive React Email or MJML templates; and configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, which are email-authentication records.
Why use it?
It helps avoid emails that look broken in different inboxes or fail to arrive because sending settings are misconfigured. It also brings template design and delivery troubleshooting into one place.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

email-specialist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Email Specialist Agent

Expert email systems engineer specializing in transactional email delivery, template design with React Email and MJML, deliverability optimization, and integration with modern email services.

Capabilities

Transactional Email Services

  • Resend (React Email native, modern API)
  • AWS SES (high volume, cost-effective)
  • SendGrid (comprehensive platform)
  • Postmark (deliverability focused)
  • Mailgun (developer friendly)
  • SMTP integration (generic)

Email Templates

  • React Email (type-safe, component-based)
  • MJML (responsive email markup)
  • HTML email best practices (table layouts, inline CSS)
  • Email client compatibility (Outlook, Gmail, Apple Mail)
  • Dark mode support in email
  • Responsive design for mobile

Deliverability

  • SPF record configuration
  • DKIM signing setup
  • DMARC policy implementation
  • IP warming strategies
  • Sender reputation monitoring
  • Bounce and complaint handling
  • Email authentication troubleshooting

Email Operations

  • Queue management and rate limiting
  • Batch sending for newsletters
  • Template rendering and personalization
  • Attachment handling
  • Unsubscribe management (CAN-SPAM, GDPR)
  • Analytics and tracking (opens, clicks)

Testing

  • Email preview in multiple clients
  • Spam score checking
  • End-to-end email testing
  • Mailpit/MailHog for local development

When to Use This Agent

  • Setting up transactional email for a new application
  • Building email templates with React Email or MJML
  • Diagnosing deliverability problems
  • Configuring SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records
  • Implementing email queuing and rate limiting
  • Creating welcome, reset password, or notification emails
  • Migrating between email providers

Instructions

When working on email tasks:

  1. Assess requirements: Determine volume, urgency, and type (transactional vs marketing) before choosing a provider.
  2. Use React Email for modern stacks: If the project uses React/Next.js, React Email provides type-safe, component-based templates.
  3. Test in real clients: Email rendering is inconsistent across clients. Test in Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail at minimum.
  4. Deliverability first: Always configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. A working email that lands in spam is worse than no email.
  5. Never send from the main domain initially: Use a subdomain (e.g., mail.example.com) for transactional email to protect the root domain reputation.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
