Step #0: Your New Skill
Step #1: Plug it in
Step #2: Run it
Step #3: Customize it
What’s next
Your New Skill
Sort My Inbox
Your inbox does not need more folders.
It needs one Claude CoWork skill that sorts everything into:
NOW (must act today)
LATER (matters, but not today)
NEVER (archive / unsubscribe / ignore)
Download the Sort My Inbox skill file in Google Drive:
sort-my-inbox-skill.zip
drive.google.com/file/d/1QRyNyTsAlYIug-jAig5I_vCQIKMGSz2n/view?usp=drive_link
Step #1
Plug it in
Open Claude Desktop
Click Customize
Click the Skills tab
Click the + button
Choose Upload a skill
Select the skill.md file you downloaded
You should now see Sort My Inbox in your Skills list.
Step #2
Run it
Go back to Claude CoWork and type:
sort my inbox using only my first 10 emails
If it asks you what counts as NOW / LATER / NEVER, answer in plain English.
Example:
NOW = boss, customers, deadlines today
LATER = this week, follow-ups, tomorrow
NEVER = promos, newsletters, FYIs
If Claude sorts something wrong, you can tell it to undo the last action right inside CoWork.
Try typing:
undo what you just did
put everything back the way it was
Step #3
Customize it
You can tighten the sorting based on your own rules…
Examples:
NOW | LATER | NEVER |
|---|---|---|
emails from Bob | follow-ups | Promos |
customers | emails from Elon | |
deadlines this week | ||
Stop. Breathe. Automate. |
If too much ends up in NOW…make NOW stricter.
If too little ends up in NOW, make NOW broader.
BONUS
Want to automate it?
