Email Drafter
Draft professional emails that match your established writing style and tone. Uses WorkIQ to analyze your sent emails and prior correspondence with recipients, then produces context aware drafts you can review and refine.
When to Use
"Draft an email to [person] about [topic]"
"Write a follow up email to [customer] regarding [project]"
"Reply to [person]'s email about [subject]"
"Compose a proposal email for [initiative]"
"Analyze my email tone with [recipient]"
Workflow
Step 1 — Gather Context
Before drafting, collect:
1. Recipient(s) — who is the email for?
2. Purpose — what is the email about? (proposal, follow up, technical guidance, introduction, status update, etc.)
3. Key points — what needs to be communicated?
4. Relationship context — use WorkIQ to check prior email history with the recipient if available
If the user provides all of these upfront, proceed directly. Otherwise, ask clarifying questions (max 3).
Step 2 — Analyze Tone
When drafting for a recipient, use WorkIQ to understand the user's established communication patterns:
1. Pull 3–5 recent sent emails from the user to the same recipient or similar recipients
2. Identify patterns:
Greeting style — formal ("Dear"), standard ("Hello"), casual ("Hi"), or direct (no greeting)
Structure — short paragraphs vs. bullet lists vs. numbered steps
Sign off — what closing and name format the user typically uses
Formality level — professional, friendly professional, casual
Language — which language the user writes in with this recipient
3. Apply those patterns to the draft
If WorkIQ is unavailable or no prior emails exist, use sensible professional defaults and note that the tone was inferred.
Step 3 — Draft the Email
Apply the discovered (or default) style rules:
Greeting:
Match whatever greeting style was found in Step 2
Default: "Hello [FirstName]," for external, "Hi [FirstName]," for internal
For multiple recipients: "Hello [Name1], [Name2],"
Tone:
Direct and concise — no filler language
Friendly but professional
Get to the point quickly
Offer help proactively where appropriate ("Happy to discuss further", "Let me know if you need anything")
Structure:
Short emails (1–2 points): simple paragraphs, no bullets needed
Longer emails (proposals, multi point updates): use bullet points or numbered lists
Include context from prior conversations when relevant ("Following our recent conversation about...")
Sign off:
Match the user's established sign off pattern from Step 2
Default: "Best regards," followed by the user's first name on the next line
Language:
Default to English unless the user specifies otherwise
Match the recipient's language if prior correspondence was in another language
Step 4 — Output
1. Present the draft for review with a brief note on the tone/style applied
2. Apply edits as the user requests — iterate until satisfied
3. Save the final draft to outputs/<year /<month / with a descriptive filename (e.g., 2026 03 26 email acme followup.md )
Important Rules
Never send emails — only draft them as files for the user to review and send manually
Always check WorkIQ for prior context with the recipient when available
If the user says "draft email" or "write email", activate this skill automatically
Save drafts using the outputs/<year /<month / folder convention
Respect privacy: do not include sensitive information from unrelated email threads
Example Prompts
"Draft an email to Sarah about the project timeline"
"Write a follow up to the customer about their migration questions"
"Compose a proposal email for the new training initiative"
"Reply to John's email — agree with his approach but suggest we add monitoring"
"Analyze my email tone with the Acme team"
Requirements
WorkIQ MCP tool is recommended for tone analysis and recipient context (Microsoft 365 / Outlook)
Without WorkIQ, the skill still works but uses professional defaults instead of personalized tone matching
Output is saved as markdown files in the workspace
