From follow-up-tracker
Automated email follow-up scanner. Use this skill whenever the user says "check my follow-ups", "run follow-up scan", "follow up tracker", "check for unreplied emails", "any follow-ups due", or when a scheduled task triggers the daily follow-up check. Also use when the user says "flag this for follow-up" or "track this email for follow-up".

The user labels sent emails in Gmail with follow-up labels. This skill scans for those labeled emails, checks whether the recipient replied, and if not — drafts a follow-up and puts a calendar reminder so the user sees it first thing in the morning.
Three labels control follow-up timing:
| Label | Follow-Up Window |
|---|---|
Follow Up | 7 calendar days (default) |
Follow Up 3d | 3 calendar days |
Follow Up 14d | 14 calendar days |
Search Gmail for sent emails with any of the follow-up labels:
label:Follow Up in:sent
label:Follow Up 3d in:sent
label:Follow Up 14d in:sent
Use gmail_search_messages for each query. Pull the most recent 20 results per label.
Check for the tracking file. Read it from the path stored in the plugin's configuration or default location. The file is a JSON array tracking each follow-up. If it doesn't exist, initialize with an empty array [].
Schema for each entry:
{
"threadId": "abc123",
"originalMessageId": "msg456",
"recipientEmail": "[email protected]",
"recipientName": "Jane Smith",
"subject": "Partnership opportunity",
"sentDate": "2026-03-18T10:30:00Z",
"followUpWindowDays": 7,
"status": "watching",
"followUpCount": 0,
"lastFollowUpDate": null,
"draftId": null,
"calendarEventId": null,
"notes": ""
}
Status values:
watching — waiting for the follow-up window to passfollow-up-due — window passed, no reply, needs a draftdraft-ready — draft created, calendar event set, waiting for user actionreplied — recipient replied, no action neededescalated — second follow-up drafted after first went unansweredgone-cold — two follow-ups sent with no reply, stopped trackingFor each email found in Step 1:
gmail_read_thread to get the recipient, subject, and sent date. Determine the follow-up window from which label it was found under (3d, 7d, or 14d). Add to tracking.json with status watching.replied.followUpWindowDays, mark as follow-up-due.For each email with status follow-up-due:
Search for prior correspondence. Use gmail_search_messages:
from:{recipientEmail} OR to:{recipientEmail}
Read the most recent 5 threads to build context about the relationship.
Draft the follow-up. Match the user's style — direct, warm but not desperate. Rules:
Save as Gmail draft. Use gmail_create_draft:
to: the recipientsubject: "Re: {original subject}"threadId: the original thread ID (so it appears as a reply in the same thread)body: the drafted follow-upCreate a calendar reminder. Use gcal_create_event:
summary: "Review draft follow-up to {Recipient Name}"description: Include the original subject line, a brief note about what the email was about, and "Draft is in your Gmail drafts — review and send if it looks good."start: Tomorrow at the user's configured reminder time (default 7:00 AM)end: 15 minutes after startreminders: popup at 0 minutescolorId: "6" (Tangerine — stands out)Update tracking.json:

npx claudepluginhub stevegustafson32/follow-up-tracker-pluginIdentifies emails needing follow-up: unanswered sent emails after specified days, flagged unreplied messages; cross-references folders and drafts contextual reply responses.
Scans active sales email threads for follow-ups needed: waiting replies, quiet threads past silence thresholds, unanswered questions. Useful for 'who do I need to follow up with' or 'stale threads'.
Triages Gmail inbox by classifying emails using Eisenhower matrix for importance/urgency, determines if replies needed, and drafts responses in user's voice. Useful for inbox zero and email prioritization.
