3 prompts to build this week

1. A decision gate for your inbox

Build a small script that reads my last 50 unread emails and sorts each into reply today, reply this week, or archive. Use explicit rules and a confidence score, and put anything below 0.8 in a 'needs me' folder instead of guessing. Show me the rules before you run it.

2. Spec a Muse connector for a real business

I run a [type of business]. Draft a one-page spec for a Muse connector that lets a customer check availability and book inside the chat. List the exact actions it needs, the data it must keep accurate, what happens when an action fails, and how a customer reaches a person.

3. A governed two-agent team

Set up two agents for one recurring job, a researcher and a writer, with a spending cap, an approval step before anything is published, and a log I can read. Start with one weekly report on [topic] and stop after the first run so I can review it.
