## Prompt

```text
Help me get through my inbox.

**My role and current priorities:** [ROLE; top priorities this week]
**Emails (paste each with sender, subject, and body):**
[PASTE EMAILS]

For each email:
1. Classify: **Reply now** / **Delegate** / **Schedule** / **Read later** / **Archive**.
2. One-line summary of what it actually asks of me.
3. For "Reply now": a draft reply under 80 words in a neutral, friendly tone.
4. For "Delegate": who should probably handle it and a one-line handoff note.

Then give me:
- A table sorted by priority: | Sender | Summary | Action | Deadline |
- Anything that looks urgent, time-sensitive, or like a scam/phishing attempt.

Don't commit me to anything — mark any reply that makes a promise or decision with [CHECK] so I review it before sending.

Before pasting, remove anything you're not allowed to share with an AI tool (passwords, customer personal data, confidential information).
```
