Useful things,
properly explained.

I turn the methods, skills, and small tools I use into practical downloads. The first release is a privacy-conscious email workflow pack built to analyze work without acting on your behalf.

No email gate Setup notes included MIT licensed

The shelf

One careful first release.

Useful for preparing threads, triaging an inbox, summarizing conversations, extracting actions, drafting replies for review, and building a daily brief.

Want the next useful release? I will share new resources on LinkedIn—along with what they are actually good for.

No treasure map required

Install with the guardrails intact.

  1. 01

    Download and read first

    Unzip the pack and open the top-level README. The evaluation folder and review report are optional; they are not required to use the skills.

  2. 02

    Keep the folders together

    Copy the six skill folders, _shared, and examples into your Codex skills directory, then refresh Codex so it can discover them.

  3. 03

    Keep permissions read-only

    Expose only account-scoped mailbox search and complete-thread retrieval. Keep send, draft, move, delete, browser, calendar, payment, task, and every other write-capable tool unavailable.

Analysis only means analysis only.

The skills can prepare information and reply text for human review. They must never change a mailbox or another system, even when a user asks them to. You remain responsible for data handling and every action taken from the output.

A small promise

Free means free.

No newsletter trap and no hidden trial. Safe Email Skills v2 is released under the MIT License: use it, inspect it, change it, and share it under those terms. If it saves you time, telling me is more than enough.
