What is Email Intelligence?
Email Intelligence is a sophisticated analytical skill designed for Openclaw Skills that provides a deep dive into your inbox health. It goes beyond simple unread counts by employing creative weather metaphors—ranging from Calm Seas to Storm Warnings—to represent the current state of your digital communication.
By integrating with the himalaya CLI, this skill classifies messages into automated alerts, newsletters, notifications, and human interactions, allowing users to visualize their actual workload. The core philosophy is to treat the inbox as a living system, helping developers and professionals identify email debt and prioritize human connection over automated noise. This makes it an essential addition for those looking to enhance their workflow with Openclaw Skills.
Email Intelligence Use Cases
- Monitoring inbox status and overall health through intuitive weather patterns.
- Identifying who you are currently "ghosting" by tracking unread human responses.
- Calculating the real time cost required to clear your email backlog.
- Measuring the signal-to-noise ratio to see how much of your mail is actually meaningful.
- Managing email debt using weighted scores based on the age of unread messages.
How Email Intelligence Works
- The skill connects to your email provider via the himalaya CLI using configured IMAP protocols.
- It scans recent emails from the INBOX and Archive folders within a user-defined timeframe (defaulting to 7 days).
- It applies heuristic classification to categorize every sender as automated, newsletters, notifications, or humans.
- It calculates a specific Email Debt Score by weighting unread human emails based on how many days they have been pending.
- It generates a Ghost Report of the top people waiting for a response and estimates the total time investment needed for processing.
- Finally, it outputs a comprehensive report in either human-readable text or structured JSON for further automation within Openclaw Skills.
Email Intelligence Setup
To get started with this skill for Openclaw Skills, ensure you have the himalaya CLI installed and configured with IMAP access.
# Ensure Python 3.6+ and himalaya CLI are installed
# Perform a basic analysis for the last 7 days
python3 scripts/email_classify.py
# Analyze a 14-day window and output results in JSON format
python3 scripts/email_classify.py --days 14 --format json
Email Intelligence Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes data into several logical components to provide a clear overview of inbox state:
| Metric | Description | Data Type |
|---|---|---|
| Weather | Current inbox state (Calm Seas to Storm Warning) | Object (Level, Emoji, Description) |
| Categories | Tally of Automated, Newsletter, Notification, and Human mail | Object (Integers) |
| Debt Score | Weighted index of unread human emails (0-100 scale) | Integer |
| Ghost Report | List of unread human emails sorted by wait time | Array of Objects |
| Signal/Noise | Percentage of human vs. automated content | Object (Ratio, Percentage) |
| Time Cost | Estimated minutes required to process the inbox | Object (Minutes, Formatted String) |
Email Intelligence Advanced Features
- Automated ghost detection to highlight critical missing replies from actual people.
- Customizable classification heuristics to tune patterns for specific senders or unique subject lines.
- Structured JSON output mode enabling seamless integration with personal developer dashboards and monitoring tools.
- Time investment estimation based on specific processing weights per email category.
- Long-term health tracking capabilities when integrated with cron jobs or Openclaw Skills automation workflows.
