First, summarize what it does, its dependencies, license status if identifiable, and any risks. Show the exact files you propose to add under .agents/skills/spark-recipe-multi-account-review/. Do not write files or run scripts until I approve.

After I approve, install the complete skill folder, including required referenced files, into that project location. Verify it is discoverable, then tell me its actual invocation name and how to use it. Do not claim it is installed until you have verified it.

Recipe: Multi-Account Review

For users with multiple email accounts, review each account's inbox status and present a unified summary with per-account breakdown.

Prerequisite: Read the use-spark base skill for command reference and filter syntax.

Access level required: read-only.

Steps

Step 1: Discover all accounts

spark accounts

Note each account email, its access level, and associated calendars and teams.

Step 2: Check folders per account

For each account, see the folder structure and message counts:

spark folders user@work.com
spark folders user@personal.com
spark folders user@sideproject.com

Step 3: Review unread mail per account

For each account, check unread across key categories:

spark emails user@work.com --filter "is:unread"
spark emails user@personal.com --filter "is:unread"
spark emails user@sideproject.com --filter "is:unread"

For a category-level breakdown on the most active account:

spark emails user@work.com --filter "category:priority is:unread"
spark emails user@work.com --filter "category:personal is:unread"

Step 4: Cross-account priority check

Check priority mail across all accounts at once:

spark emails Inbox --filter "category:priority is:unread"

This uses the unified inbox to surface priority items regardless of which account received them.

Step 5: Present the summary

Report per account:

Highlight cross-account priorities and any account that needs immediate attention.

Tips

  • Start with spark accounts to discover all configured accounts and their access levels.
  • The unified inbox (spark emails Inbox) aggregates across all accounts - use it for cross-account priority checks.
  • Per-account browsing (spark emails user@example.com) keeps things separated when the user wants to focus on one context.
  • Use spark folders <account> to understand each account's folder structure before browsing specific folders.
  • Some accounts may be read-only while others have triage access. accounts shows the access level for each.
  • For users with work + personal accounts, suggest processing them separately to maintain mental context.
  • Combine with recipe-inbox-by-category for a deep dive into the most active account.
