README
inbox-agent
An AI that reads one inbox, writes every reply against a playbook you own, and puts each one on your phone with a send button. Runs 24/7 on a five dollar server, a Mac you leave on, or a Windows PC. About an hour to set up. Nothing to buy except the Claude subscription you probably already have.
Start with a manual send gate: nothing goes without your tap. Move to assisted, then autopilot, once it has earned it. The gate is in code, not in a prompt.
Inbox → Playbook → Draft in Gmail → Your phone (Telegram) → [gate] → Sent
What it does
- Polls the inbox every two minutes. New email, it decides whether it is worth a reply.
- Writes the reply against
playbook/SKILL.md: your prices, your rules, your stages, your voice. Creates it as a Gmail draft, threaded, to the sender only. - Posts the draft to Telegram with SEND, SKIP, CHAIN. Reply to it in plain text ("make it 9k", "warmer opener") and it rewrites.
- One live draft per thread. A follow-up from them retires the old draft and writes a fresh one.
- Three modes: manual, assisted, autopilot. Hard stops that hold in every mode. A stop file that beats everything.
- Works with Claude Code headless (your Claude subscription) or the Anthropic API. One config flag.
What it never does
- Sends to anyone who did not email you first. There is no cold email path in this code.
- Lets the model choose a recipient. It is copied from the original message.
- Sends from the wrong address. The Gmail token is checked against your config on every command.
- Sends twice. A draft is marked done before the send fires.
- Sends anything while
~/.config/inbox-agent/PAUSEDexists.
Sixty minute path
- Telegram bot. Message @BotFather,
/newbot, keep the token. Message your new bot once. Get your own id:curl -s "https://api.telegram.org/bot/getUpdates" | grep -o '"id":[0-9]*' | head -1 - Google. Four minutes of clicks, and press Publish. [docs/GOOG
