email-formatting

email-formatting is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from provos/ironcurtain. It costs 53 tokens per session (450 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules for formatting Markdown documents that summarize email messages. It defines headings, metadata lists, spacing, line length, emoji use, and source-tracking details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when turning one or more emails into a Markdown report. It guides the report title, per-email details, summaries, spacing, and provenance footer.
Why use it?
It removes uncertainty about how email summaries should look and keeps them consistent with the project's document style. This matters when other tools or people will read the Markdown later.

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-formatting 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Email formatting conventions

Use these conventions whenever you write a markdown file that summarizes email content.

Heading depth

  • The document has exactly one # heading at the top: the report title.
  • Each individual email gets a ## heading whose text is the email subject.
  • Do not use ### or deeper for per-email metadata; use a bullet list instead.

Per-email metadata

For each email, render metadata as an unordered list immediately under the ## subject heading, in this order:

  • From: <sender>
  • To: <recipient(s), comma-separated>
  • Date: <as it appears in the source, no reformatting>
  • Summary: <1-2 sentences in prose>

Line length and whitespace

  • Soft-wrap at roughly 80 columns. Don't hard-break inside a sentence.
  • Exactly one blank line between sections; never two or more.
  • No trailing whitespace at end of lines.

Emoji policy

Do not use emoji in summary documents. They render inconsistently across mail clients that may consume the markdown downstream.

Preamble and outro

There is no preamble (no "Here is the summary..." opener) and no outro (no "Let me know if..." closer). The document opens with the # title.

The document MUST end with the literal HTML comment marker on a line by itself, separated from the last email's Summary: bullet by exactly one blank line:

<!-- email-summary/v1 -->

This marker is how downstream tooling identifies the generator and schema version. Producers that omit it are non-compliant; producers that change the spelling, casing, or version segment break parsers that depend on the literal string. Do not localize, prettify, or expand the marker — it is a machine-readable token, not human prose.

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.
