The prompt
Create inbox rules to automatically flag as high priority: (1) Emails from my direct manager or skip-level, (2) Emails where I am the only recipient in the To field, (3) Emails with "urgent", "deadline", "blocking", "escalation", or "action required" in the subject line, (4) Emails from external clients or partners I've corresponded with in the last 30 days. Show me the proposed rules before creating them, and let me edit the sender list if needed.
