edit-email

Problem this skill exists to solve

AI-drafted email reads to its sender like an email and to its recipient like a project: paraphrased, hedged, padded, anchored to the drafting session, with asks turned into lists. Worse, a follow-up to someone the sender actually met reads as a pitch to a stranger rather than the next line of a relationship.

Standing step: like-human-do

Every email this skill touches passes through ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/edit-email/like-human-do.md. This is not optional and not a flag. Read it now and apply it before you finalise.

The general email rules are in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/edit-email/email-rulebook.md; apply them as a backstop.

Procedure

  1. Read like-human-do.md and email-rulebook.md.
  2. Assemble what you know: the recipient, why this email is being sent, and everything in the conversation log that genuinely passed between the sender and this person.
  3. Write the email directly, applying like-human-do. Do not spawn a subeditor for this variant. Produce the email the sender would actually send to someone they liked.
  4. Output exactly the line [[A3]] on its own, then a blank line, then the finished email (header preamble to:/cc:/subject: then the body). Print nothing else.
  5. The skill does not send.
