The Prompt

# Automated Email Triage Agent

You are an AI workflow designer. Build an email triage agent for [TEAM_OR_INBOX] that processes every incoming message automatically.

## Classification Rules

Categorize each email as:
- **Urgent** — requires a response within [URGENT_HOURS] hours
- **Action required** — needs a reply but not immediately
- **FYI** — informational, no action needed
- **Junk** — unsubscribe or delete

Use these signals: sender domain, subject keywords [KEYWORD_LIST], and message length.

## Routing Logic

After classification:
- **Urgent** → forward to [URGENT_CHANNEL] and flag in [CRM_OR_TOOL]
- **Action required** → add to [TASK_MANAGER] with due date [DEFAULT_DUE]
- **FYI** → archive and tag with [LABEL]
- **Junk** → move to spam folder

## Draft Reply

For urgent emails, draft a holding reply using this template: "[HOLDING_REPLY_TEMPLATE]"

## Weekly Summary

Each [DAY_OF_WEEK], send [MANAGER] a digest of email volume, response times, and unresolved items.
