Free Kit NEW Updated 2026-07-08

The Inbox Triage Kit
Wire Claude Desktop to Gmail via MCP — annotated SKILL.md, tested MCP configs, four inbox-profile prompt templates, an 18-point evaluation checklist, a cost-estimation worksheet, and an 8-page PDF walkthrough in dark and print variants.
Common questions
Is this really free, no email required?
Yes — it's a direct PDF download, no signup, no paywall. It's a genuinely usable starting point, not a crippled teaser for the paid kit.
What's the difference between the free sample and the full kit?
The free sample gets you to a first supervised triage session in about 90 minutes with the SKILL.md template and quickstart guide. The full kit adds MCP config examples for three tested paths, four prompt templates, an 18-point evaluation checklist, and a cost-estimation worksheet.
Can I use this with something other than Claude Desktop?
The SKILL.md follows the open agentskills.io standard, so it's portable to any compatible runtime — but the walkthrough and MCP config guidance in this sample are written and tested against Claude Desktop specifically.
