+description: Use when drafting emails, composing replies, or writing professional messages that will be sent via Gmail.
+triggers:
+  - draft email

+  - write an email

+  - reply to this email

+---
+
+# Email Draft
+
+**Core principle:** Gmail does not support Markdown. Always use HTML formatting with `body_format="html"`.
+
+---
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Drafting a reply to an email
+- Composing a new email
+- Writing professional messages via Gmail
+
+**Do NOT use when:**
+- Sending Slack messages (different formatting)
+- Writing internal KB notes (Markdown is fine)
+
+---
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+| Task | Command/Action |
+|------|----------------|
+| Bold text | `<b>text</b>` |
+| Italic text | `<i>text</i>` |
+| Line break | `<br>` |
+| Paragraph | `<p>text</p>` |
+| Bullet list | `<ul><li>item</li></ul>` |
+| Numbered list | `<ol><li>item</li></ol>` |
+| Create draft | `google-workspace_draft_gmail_message` with `body_format="html"` |
+| Send email | `google-workspace_send_gmail_message` with `body_format="html"` |
+
+---
+
+## Process
+
+### 1. Gather Context
+
+**For replies:**
+- Retrieve thread with `get_gmail_thread_content(thread_id, user_google_email)`
+- Extract `thread_id` and `in_reply_to` (Message-ID header)
+- Note key points requiring response
+
+**For new emails:**
+- Confirm recipient and purpose
+- Check stakeholder file if available (`work/Stakeholders/` or `work/Team/`)
+
+### 2. Draft Content
+
+Structure:
+1. **Opening** — Acknowledge their message (replies) or state purpose (new)
+2. **Body** — Key points with `<b>headers</b>` for multiple topics
+3. **Closing** — Next steps or call to action
+4. **Sign-off** — "Best, David"
+
+Format with HTML:
+- `<b>` for section headers
+- `<ul><li>` for lists of 3+ items  
+- `<p>` for paragraph separation
+- `<i>` sparingly for emphasis
+
+### 3. Present for Approval
+
+Show full email in chat before saving:
+
+```
+**Draft ready for review:**
+
+---
+[Email content]
+---
+
+**To:** recipient
+**CC:** if applicable
+
+Shall I save as draft?
+```
+
+### 4. Save Draft
+
+```python
+google-workspace_draft_gmail_message(
+  user_google_email="david.helmus@hellofresh.com",
+  to="recipient@example.com",
+  subject="Re: Subject",
+  body="<p>HTML content</p>",
+  body_format="html",           # CRITICAL
+  thread_id="...",              # For replies
+  in_reply_to="<message-id>"    # For replies
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+| Mistake | Prevention |
+|---------|------------|
+| Using Markdown `**bold**` | Use HTML `<b>bold</b>` — Gmail renders Markdown literally |
+| Forgetting `body_format="html"` | Always include — defaults to plain text |
+| Missing `thread_id` on replies | Retrieve from original message first |
+| Sending without approval | Always draft first, ask Zeus to confirm |
+| Using personal email for work | Work context = `david.helmus@hellofresh.com` |
+
+---
+
+## Red Flags - STOP
+
+- About to use `**` or `__` for formatting — STOP, use HTML
+- About to send without Zeus approval — STOP, save as draft
+- Can't find thread_id for a reply — STOP, retrieve original thread first
+
+---
+
+## Verification Checklist
+
+- [ ] Used HTML tags, not Markdown
+- [ ] Included `body_format="html"` parameter
+- [ ] For replies: included `thread_id` and `in_reply_to`
+- [ ] Presented draft to Zeus before saving
+- [ ] Used correct email (work vs personal context)

+2. What formatting/tools/methods did you use?
+3. Show the exact output you produced.
+4. What assumptions did you make?

-- What rationalizations were used?
-- What was skipped?
+Before proceeding, write down:
+- **What the agent did wrong** (or suboptimally)
+- **What rationalizations were used** (verbatim if possible)
