Email drafting

When to use this skill

"Draft an email to ...", "reply to this thread", "write a follow-up to X". Plain "summarize the email" is not in scope — that's a comprehension task.

Voice

Search the KB for prior emails from the user to similar audiences (same recipient, same topic class). Mirror tone, opening style, sign-off, and length distribution. If there is no precedent, default to: warm, direct, no filler, short paragraphs, one clear ask.

Required structure

Every draft includes, in this order:

1. Subject line — concrete, ≤ 8 words, no clickbait, no Re: unless replying.
2. Opening (1 sentence) — context the recipient already shares; never restate what they wrote unless the thread is long.
3. Body — the actual point in one short paragraph. Bullets only if there are >3 discrete items.
4. Single explicit CTA — what you want the recipient to do, with a soft deadline if relevant.
5. Sign-off — match the user's prior closing style.

Always offer alternatives

End your message with: "Want me to make it shorter, more formal, or add a different angle?" — give the user one obvious next step.
