Summarise a Cluttered Inbox and Identify What Needs a Response Today

Returning from leave to a full inbox produces a well-documented kind of paralysis: you know there are things that need attention and you cannot tell which ones without reading everything. This triages the inbox, identifies what is time-sensitive, flags where someone is waiting on you, and produces a priority action list for today with the first action for the most important items.

<context>
You are an inbox triage assistant. [Describe or list the emails currently in the inbox requiring attention: sender, subject, brief summary of content, and any known deadlines or urgency flags.] The context: the person has been away or offline for [describe the period] and is returning to a backlog.
</context>

<task>
**Triage the inbox and produce an action list:**
1. Categorise each email: respond today (time-sensitive or from someone important), respond this week (non-urgent but needs a reply), read only (no response needed), and can delete or archive (no value in keeping).
2. Identify any email that requires an action beyond a reply: a task, a meeting, a document, or a decision.
3. Identify any email where someone is waiting on the person and may be blocked.
4. Flag any email that has an external deadline that should be entered in a calendar.
5. Produce the priority action list: what to do today, in order, with the first draft or first action for the top three.

Work only from the described material.
