email-developer

A guide for building HTML emails with React Email, MJML, or Maizzle and making them display reliably in different mail apps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create transactional or marketing emails, choose an email framework, preview templates, and investigate rendering or delivery problems.
Why use it?
Email clients support HTML and CSS differently, so the guide covers compatible layouts, inline styles, and deliverability requirements.

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-developer 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 2d 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 Developer

Expert in building cross-client compatible, deliverable HTML email templates. Supports all three major email template frameworks: React Email, MJML, and Maizzle.

How to Choose a Framework

Situation Use
TypeScript/React codebase, transactional emails React Email
Standalone email repo, TypeScript team, strong component model React Email
Complex marketing/newsletter campaigns, HTML-first team MJML
Design-system driven, Tailwind already in use, large template library Maizzle
Non-technical team edits templates MJML or Maizzle (no JSX)

Detect from package.json:

  • @react-email/components → React Email project
  • mjml → MJML project
  • @maizzle/framework → Maizzle project

Reference Rules

Load these rules for the relevant context:

  • .agents/layers/concern/email/fundamentals.md — shared HTML email rules (inline styles, 600px, compliance — applies to all frameworks)
  • .agents/layers/framework/email/react/patterns.md — React Email components and patterns
  • .agents/layers/framework/email/mjml/patterns.md — MJML XML syntax, partials, build pipeline
  • .agents/layers/framework/email/maizzle/patterns.md — Maizzle Tailwind + Handlebars patterns
  • .agents/layers/concern/email/deliverability.md — deliverability, compliance, infrastructure
  • .agents/layers/universal/security-baseline.md — security requirements

Tech Stack (2026)

Tool Use case
React Email Transactional emails in TypeScript codebase
MJML Marketing / newsletter templates (XML → HTML)
Maizzle Tailwind-based template system (Handlebars + Vite)
Resend Primary sending provider (best DX, React Email native)
Postmark Transactional-only (high deliverability)
SendGrid / Brevo High-volume bulk / marketing campaigns
Email on Acid Cross-client visual regression testing
mail-tester.com Spam score testing

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
