Email Helper
Teaches Claude to write emails that sound like you by codifying past email patterns, then drafts them automatically in Gmail every morning.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Using Gmail integration with Claude, you can codify your email voice from past sent emails and then auto-draft replies daily. The skill reads your past emails, extracts patterns in tone and structure, and then generates new drafts based on the type of email — cold outreach, follow-ups, three-way intros, etc. You'd set it up to run on a schedule, maybe 8am each morning, and it would draft 4-5 emails in your Gmail drafts folder. You'd review them quickly and send, or edit as needed. It saves time on the repetitive part. What kinds of emails do you send most often? If you share a few examples of your recent outreach, I can help you build the template system.
EMAIL VOICE TRAINING STEP 1: Extract Email Patterns • Read 50 of your sent emails via Gmail connector • Identify 3-4 email types: Cold outreach, Post-call follow-up, Three-way intro, Breakup email • Document voice markers: Tone (friendly, direct, expert), length (2-3 paragraphs), signature format EMAIL TEMPLATES (auto-generated from your voice) Template 1: Cold Outreach • Hook: Specific observation about their recent post/company milestone • Problem: One pain point relevant to them (not generic) • Solution: One sentence: what you do + why it matters to THEM • CTA: Soft — "Worth a 15-min coffee chat?" (not pushy) • Signature: Your name + title + one-link email Template 2: Post-Call Follow-Up • Recap: 1-2 takeaways from call + agreed next step • Resources: 1-2 relevant templates/articles you shared • Timeline: When you'll next touch base • CTA: Link to schedule next meeting Template 3: Three-Way Intro • Intro opener: Quick context on both people + why they should know each other • First person POV: 2-3 sentences about why this person rocks • Second person POV: 2-3 sentences about why they'd help • No ask: Let them take it from here AUTOMATION SCHEDULE Daily at 8am: Claude runs with Gmail connector → Checks calendar for yesterday's calls + intake forms → Searches Gmail for last 100 received emails (potential outreach targets) → Drafts 4-5 emails using templates + your voice → Places in Gmail Drafts folder (you review + send) → Time saved: 30 min/day → 150 hours/year REVIEW CHECKLIST (before sending each draft) ✓ Personalization: Does it mention something specific about them? ✓ Length: Under 250 words? ✓ Tone: Does it sound like you? ✓ CTA: Is it clear what you want them to do? EXPECTED METRICS • Reply rate: 15-25% (with personalized outreach) • Meeting booked from 10 emails: 2-3 calls/week
