Critical Rules

1. ALWAYS read

   .claude/skills/email-copilot/rules.md

   before processing ANY emails
2. ALWAYS run

   date

   to get current time before processing (for expiry checks, age calculations)
3. NEVER mix email IDs between accounts - IDs are account-specific
4. ALWAYS use label names (e.g., "Finance/Receipts"), never internal IDs (e.g., "Label_6")
5. CHECK

   account

   field in output before operations
6. LOG all user-confirmed actions to

   .claude/skills/email-copilot/action-log.md

   — IMMEDIATELY in the same tool call batch as execution, NOT after

CLI Alias

All commands use this base (define once per session):

EMAIL="uv run --project .claude/skills/email-copilot python .claude/skills/email-copilot/scripts/email_cli.py"
GMAIL="uv run --project .claude/skills/email-copilot python .claude/skills/email-copilot/gmail_client.py"

Procedure

1. Check Accounts:

   $EMAIL accounts

2. Load Rules: Read

   .claude/skills/email-copilot/rules.md

   (MANDATORY)
3. Review Action Log: Read

   .claude/skills/email-copilot/action-log.md

   to identify patterns from recent decisions
4. Process Each Account:

   • $EMAIL -a <account> list -n 100

   • Apply account-appropriate rules (work: strict cleanup; personal: conservative)
5. Classify & Execute:
   • Auto-Trash List matches →

     trash

   • Expired notifications →

     trash

   • Receipts/Statements →

     move

     to Finance labels
6. Log Actions: When user confirms, execute operations AND update

   action-log.md

   in the same tool call batch (parallel Edit + Bash calls)
7. Report & Evolve:
   • Group remaining by account AND category
   • Review action log for recurring patterns → propose rule updates
   • Update

     rules.md

     if user agrees

Learning & Evolution

When email doesn't match rules:

• Cold sales → Propose adding sender to Auto-Trash List
• New project → Propose adding Project Keyword
• Recurring newsletter → Propose Newsletter category

Always ask user before updating

rules.md

.

Multi-Account Notes

• Work accounts: Prioritize project emails, strict cleanup
• Personal accounts: Conservative deletions, preserve receipts
• Each operation outputs

  account

  field to identify mailbox

Tips

• Reply-To:

  reply

  uses Reply-To header when present (mailing lists)
• GitHub: Check snippet for "approved", "lgtm", bot names
• Safety: If unsure, list in report instead of trashing
• Drafts Workflow: Create draft → User reviews in Gmail →

  drafts send

  or manual send

Action Log Format

Log file:

.claude/skills/email-copilot/action-log.md

## YYYY-MM-DD

### Trashed
- [account] sender@example.com - "Subject" (reason: auto-trash match / user confirmed)

### Moved
- [account] sender@example.com - "Subject" → Label/Name

### Kept
- [account] sender@example.com - "Subject" (user decision: reason)

### Patterns Identified
- sender@example.com appeared 3x this week → consider adding to auto-trash

Review log before each session to:

1. Identify senders appearing repeatedly → propose Auto-Trash rule
2. Find emails consistently moved to same label → propose filter
3. Track user overrides → adjust rule confidence
