Riley Brown showcases Codex /email-draft skill
Riley Brown highlighted a custom email-draft skill for the Codex AI agent platform that automates draft creation in Gmail. The tool triages the inbox for actionable threads, drafts replies as unsent drafts, and returns direct review links with concise summaries to keep users in the loop.
Safe, review-first AI agents are the only practical way to handle automated inbox triage today, as directly sending AI-generated emails carries too much reputational risk.
* **Review-First Loop:** By forcing the agent to only create drafts and provide direct review links (`display_url`), it keeps the human firmly in the loop before any message is sent.
* **Context-Aware Drafting:** The workflow reads the actual email threads instead of relying on snippets, preventing the agent from making up facts or agreeing to commitments it shouldn't.
* **Strict Output Formatting:** Requiring exact 20-word summaries for each draft forces the AI to be extremely concise and clear, which is validated programmatically before the output is presented.
