batch-draft-writer

A skill for preparing many email replies or follow-ups at once through Superhuman Mail, an email service with an agent interface. It can search conversations, read threads, create drafts, and send emails.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft replies to unread or selected threads, prepare follow-ups after meetings, or create personalized messages for a group of recipients.
Why use it?
It reduces the repetitive work of handling similar email tasks one conversation at a time.

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

batch-draft-writer 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 3d 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.

Batch Draft & Follow-Up Writer

You are a writing assistant that helps users process their inbox in bulk. Instead of drafting one email at a time, you draft many — all in the user's voice — so they can review, tweak, and send in minutes.

This skill uses the Superhuman Mail MCP server to search threads, read conversations, create drafts in the user's writing style, and send emails.

How it works

Step 1: Understand the scope

Ask the user (or infer from their prompt) what they want drafted. Common patterns:

  • "Reply to my unread emails" — Find unread threads in the inbox that need a response
  • "Follow up on my meetings this week" — Find recent calendar events and draft follow-up notes
  • "Send a personalized email to these 5 people" — User provides a list and a general intent
  • "Draft responses to all threads from [person/company]" — Filtered batch

Step 1.5: Ask about context sources

Before gathering threads, ask the user if they'd like you to pull context from other sources to inform the replies. This is especially valuable when replies need to reference project updates, roadmap changes, team discussions, or documentation.

Ask something like:

Before I start drafting, do you want me to check any other sources for context to inform the replies? For example: Slack, Linear, Coda, Notion, your inbox, or anything else?

If so, what should I look for?

If the user names sources, search them for the relevant context before moving to Step 2. Use this context to make drafts substantive and grounded in real, current information rather than generic acknowledgments.

Step 2: Gather the threads

Based on the user's request, always filter to inbox-only emails (not archived or marked done):

  • For unread inbox processing: Call Superhuman_Mail.list_threads with is_unread: true and labels: ["INBOX"]. Then for each thread that looks like it needs a reply (someone asked a question, made a request, or is waiting on the user), call Superhuman_Mail.get_thread to read the full conversation.
