email_draft_skill

Overview

This skill drafts professional emails tailored to purpose, recipient, and tone. It produces clear subject lines, structured bodies, and concise calls-to-action to help you communicate effectively and save time. It supports formal, professional, and casual styles and can provide multiple tone variants when needed.

How this skill works

The skill inspects recipient relationship and context, gathers relevant history or project details, and asks for any specific points to include. It then composes a subject line, greeting, organized body, explicit next steps, and a professional sign-off. You can request alternative tones or shorter/longer versions and the skill will adapt structure and phrasing accordingly.

When to use it
