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

scan-inbox 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 4d 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.

Scan Inbox

Analyzes your Apple Mail inbox to identify unread, actionable, and priority messages within a specified time range.

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when the user asks questions like:

  • "Check my email"
  • "What unread emails do I have?"
  • "Any urgent emails?"
  • "Show me actionable items from my inbox"
  • "Triage my email from today"

What This Skill Does

  1. Scans all inbox accounts in Apple Mail
  2. Filters messages by time range (default: last 24 hours)
  3. Identifies unread messages
  4. Detects actionable keywords (deadline, urgent, action required, meeting, request, etc.)
  5. Identifies priority/flagged messages
  6. Returns structured data with counts and message details

Instructions

Step 1: Determine Time Range

Ask the user if they want a specific time range, or use these defaults:

  • "Today" or "recent" → 24 hours
  • "This week" or "recent days" → 48-72 hours
  • Specific request → Honor their time range

Step 2: Execute the Scan

Run the AppleScript skill using the Bash tool:

```bash osascript .claude/skills/scan-inbox/scripts/scan_inbox.scpt false ```

Parameters:

  • <hours>: Number of hours to look back (e.g., 24, 48, 72)
  • false: Set to true for priority-only mode

Step 3: Parse Results

The script returns:

  • success: boolean (true/false)
  • unreadCount: Total unread messages
  • actionableCount: Messages with actionable keywords
  • priorityCount: Flagged/priority messages
  • unreadList: Array of unread message details (sender, subject, date, flagged status)
  • actionableList: Array of actionable messages
  • priorityList: Array of priority messages

Step 4: Present Results to User

Format the output in a clear, actionable way:

Example Response: ``` 📬 Inbox Summary (Last 24 Hours)

📊 Overview:

  • 38 unread messages
  • 0 actionable items
  • 0 priority/flagged

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.
