    DraftsClaude

    Claude in a side window. Paste the email + 3 of your past replies; ask for a draft.

    Prompt · Reply draft in your voice
    Draft a reply to this email in my voice.
    
    Email I received:
    """
    {{paste email}}
    """
    
    3 of my recent replies (for voice anchoring):
    """
    {{paste 3 replies}}
    """
    
    Intent: {{e.g. "decline politely", "say yes and propose Tue 2pm", "ask one clarifying question"}}.
    
    Constraints:
    - Length: same length as my voice samples, no longer.
    - Open without "Thanks for reaching out" or "I hope you're well".
    - One specific reference to something they said.
    - One clear next step.
    - Sign off the way I sign off in the samples.
    
    Output the reply only.

What it produced
Solo founder, 220 emails/day

From 90 min/day on email to 35 min/day. 0 inbox-zero panic days in the last 3 months.

Common pitfalls
Auto-replies sound generic

Don't ship Claude's first draft. Always one human pass.

Snippet sprawl

Cap snippets at 30. Past that you can't find them anyway.
