I Built a Claude Skill to Write Emails Like Me (Claude Cowork Tutorial)

AI can draft any email in five seconds. The catch? It sounds like every other email drafted in five seconds, generic, slightly off, stripped of whatever made it *yours*. So you either rewrite it, or you slowly turn into a version of yourself that doesn't quite sound like you anymore.

In this build, I fix that. We take your last 50 sent emails (from every inbox you use) and turn your actual writing voice into a reusable Claude skill. Same AI speed. Your words. Every time you draft going forward.

Here's what we cover:
- Connecting Claude Cowork to multiple Gmail inboxes and pulling your real sent emails
- What JSON is and why we export to it (no jargon, I promise)
- Getting Cowork to analyze your actual writing style, and how to push back when the first pass is generic
- Writing a proper SKILL.md file (YAML frontmatter, voice rules, the whole thing)
- Building a human-in-the-loop review interface to approve/reject sample drafts
- Packaging, installing, and testing the skill on a real email
