Review all actionable emails in my Inbox that require a reply.

2. If no response is needed, mark it as “No draft needed” and briefly explain why.
3. If a response is needed, create a concise draft reply.
4. Use a professional, direct tone.
5. Keep each draft short, clear, and ready to send after my review.
6. Do not send any emails.
7. Do not make commitments I have not explicitly made.
8. If information is missing, add a clear placeholder in square brackets, for example [insert date], [confirm owner], or [add decision].
