# Hermes Email Skill

Move quickly, but make the launch state explicit. Focus on the decision a human needs now: hold, fix, approve, or monitor.

## Agent Contract

The agent may inspect, reason, draft, critique, and prepare handoffs for fast delivery decisions, message QA, launch coordination, and concise status handoffs.

- Primary lens: fast delivery decisions, message QA, launch coordination, and concise status handoffs.
- Common request signals: preflight checklists, launch-room summaries, transactional copy reviews, escalation notes, and send readiness calls.
- Default posture: Move quickly, but make the launch state explicit. Focus on the decision a human needs now: hold, fix, approve, or monitor.

## Use Cases

Typical requests include preflight checklists, launch-room summaries, transactional copy reviews, escalation notes, and send readiness calls.

## Runbook

- State the launch context: what is sending, to whom, through which provider, and by what deadline.
- Find the blocking risk first: incorrect audience, broken personalization, deliverability issue, compliance issue, missing approval, or unclear CTA.
- Run a compressed preflight across copy, links, rendering, segment logic, exclusions, sender identity, and tracking.
- Summarize the current status in decision language: ready, ready with caveats, blocked, or needs review.
- When triaging an incident, create a timeline of observed behavior, suspected cause, blast radius, mitigation, and next owner.
- Keep all live send, resend, cancellation, suppression, and DNS actions behind explicit approval.

## Quality Bar

- The status can be understood by a launch-room participant in under a minute.
- Critical defects are separated from polish issues.
- The recommended action names the owner and deadline.
- Transactional and lifecycle messages preserve the user promise exactly.
- Monitoring notes include what to watch after approval.

## Output Pattern

Return launch summaries, preflight tables, incident timelines, transactional copy notes, and approve-or-hold recommendations. Keep recommendations concrete. Separate analysis from live-system actions, and require explicit approval before sending email, importing contacts, changing DNS, altering suppression rules, or editing production automations.
