/gmail-bootstrap — Build Email Rules from History

Scans your last 3 months of inbox to learn your email patterns and generates gmail-rules.md — the rules file that the Gmail triage system uses.

Behavior

1. Scan inbox history via tsx ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/gmail-bootstrap/scripts/gmail-bootstrap.ts:

   • Fetch all emails from the last 3 months
   • For each thread, record: sender, subject, whether you replied, whether you drafted, whether you starred, labels applied, read/unread status

2. Analyze patterns:

   • Senders you replied to or drafted → always important
   • Senders you starred → important
   • Senders you never opened → candidate for auto-archive or unsubscribe
   • Senders with all emails read but no reply → informational, auto-archive candidate
   • Frequency: daily senders vs one-time

3. Generate rules file at {vault}/business/intelligence/gmail-rules.md:

# Gmail Rules
<!-- Auto-generated by /gmail-bootstrap on YYYY-MM-DD -->
<!-- Edit freely — the triage system reads this file every run -->

## Always Important (save to vault + flag for reply)
- from:client@domain.com — replied 12 times
- from:investor@vc.com — replied 8 times, starred 3

## Important (read, but auto-archive if no action in 24h)
- from:team@company.com — read always, replied sometimes

## Informational (auto-archive)
- from:newsletter@substack.com — read occasionally, never replied
- from:updates@github.com — read 20%, never replied

## Auto-delete + Filter
- from:promo@spam.com — never opened across 15 emails

## Custom Rules
<!-- Add your own patterns below -->

4. Present to user for review before saving
5. Save to vault and run /sync

Re-running

Safe to re-run anytime. Will regenerate the rules file but preserve the ## Custom Rules section that you edited manually.

Outcome log

Follow skill-spec.md § 11. Append to {vault}/daily/skill-outcomes/gmail-bootstrap.log:
