Running it, start to finish
- Paste the messages along with your role and who you can delegate to.
- Handle the decisions bucket yourself; it should be short.
- Edit and send the drafts, filling every CONFIRM placeholder.
What you get back
The output this produces, every time.
- Isolates the handful of items that genuinely need your judgement from everything that does not.
- Drafts the replies, forwards and declines in your voice, leaving explicit placeholders where a real commitment is needed.
- Surfaces the oldest unanswered messages regardless of which bucket they landed in.
Getting better results
Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.
- Give it a real tone sample. Paste two or three of your actual sent messages. A described tone produces generic drafts; a demonstrated one produces sendable ones.
- Never send a CONFIRM draft unedited. The placeholders mark exactly the places where the model would otherwise have invented a date or a number on your behalf.
- Look hard at the declines. They are the highest-value output here. A backlog is mostly requests nobody wanted to say no to at the time.
