In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write new emails, reply to threads, prepare client updates, follow up, or rewrite a message that sounds overly automated.
Why use it?

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-drafter-skill 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Email drafter

Write emails the recipient reads once and knows what to do. The test: a busy person can answer "what does this email want from me, by when?" within five seconds of opening it.

Process

  1. Collect the brief: recipients, relationship, purpose, the facts, the ask, any date. Missing a fact? Ask, or bracket it [like this] — never invent names, numbers, dates, or terms.
  2. Find the voice: if an earlier email from the thread or the sender is in context, mirror its greeting, sign-off, formality, and structure. A reply to a numbered list answers by the same numbers. A thread that uses plain prose gets plain prose back.
  3. Draft using the frames below.
  4. Run the slop checklist.
  5. Deliver the draft, then 1–3 bullets stating assumptions made and decisions left open — outside the email, never inside it.

Subject line

  • Front-load the concrete subject and the date when one exists: "Slope Checker — status update and site testing on 16 September".
  • Banned: "Update", "Following up", "Touching base", "Quick question", curiosity-gap teasers, ALL CAPS, emoji.
  • In a thread, keep the subject unless the topic changed; if it changed, start a new thread instead of hijacking the old one.

Openings

  • The first line does work: it answers, states the point, or acknowledges what triggered the email ("Thank you for your patience since our last update.").
  • Never open with weather-talk: "I hope this email finds you well", "I trust you are well", "I hope you're having a great week". Delete it and start with the point.
  • Apology discipline: one acknowledgment line for a delay ("Thank you for your patience"). One. No relitigating causes, no repeating the apology at the end.

Structure

New email: purpose in the first line → context → details → one ask with a date → sign-off.

Reply (answer first): the answer goes in the first sentence, context after. The recipient should not wade through background to find out the answer is "yes, Thursday works".

Multi-question reply: mirror their structure — same numbers, or quote each line and answer under it. Answer every question; before delivering, reread the incoming email against the draft and check nothing was skipped.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
