Here are 7 prompts that run the whole sweep:

Start with the system. Rules before deleting.
1/ The Inbox Triage System
"Act as an executive assistant and systems designer. Build a complete triage system for an inbox I have lost control of. Analyze my sender types, my recurring message patterns, my real response obligations, and the hours I actually read email. Design the folder structure, the triage rules, the daily sweep routine, the templates for repeat replies, and the weekly maintenance pass."

2/ The Bulk Purge Pass
"Act as an inbox archaeologist. Find everything in my mailbox that no human ever needs to read. Analyze the newsletters I never open, the automated receipts, the notification floods, and the senders whose messages I archive on sight. Give me the search strings that select each group, the safe order to delete them in, and the unsubscribe list worth clearing first."

3/ The Reply Shortlist
"Act as a chief of staff. From the messages I paste, decide what actually needs me. Analyze the requester, the real ask, the deadline hidden in the wording, and the cost of answering late. Return three lists: reply today, reply this week, and answer never. For each item in the first list, draft the two sentence response I can send without thinking."

4/ The Template Library
"Act as a communications designer. Build the reply templates that cover most of my inbox. Analyze my ten most repeated message types, my tone with clients versus colleagues, the details I always forget to include, and the replies that usually trigger a follow up. Write each template with a subject line, an opening line, the body, and the closing that ends the thread."

5/ The Boundary Filter
"Act as a productivity coach who protects calendars. Design the rules that stop my inbox refilling. Analyze the requests I should redirect, the meetings that should be messages, the subscriptions worth cutting, and the people who need a different channel. Give me the filter rules to create, the auto responses to set, and the wording I use to move a conversation elsewhere."

6/ The Thread Compressor
"Act as a summariser for long email threads. Take the thread I paste and give me what matters. Analyze the decisions already made, the open questions, the commitments each person made, and the deadline pressure sitting in the thread. Return a five line summary, a list of who owes what, the one thing blocking progress, and my recommended next message."

7/ The Weekly Reset Routine
"Act as an operations manager. Design my Friday inbox reset so Monday starts clean. Analyze the messages left unanswered, the tasks buried inside emails, the follow ups I promised, and the items that quietly became someone else's problem. Give me the fifteen minute checklist, the order to work through it, and the note that closes out anything still hanging."
