Copy this and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI assistant:

I want to add the "inbox-zero — Cursor Rules" prompt rules to my project.
Repository: https://github.com/elie222/inbox-zero

Please read the repo to find the rules/prompt file, then:
1. Download it to the correct location (.cursorrules, .windsurfrules, .github/prompts/, or project root — based on the file type)
2. If there's an existing rules file, merge the new rules in rather than overwriting
3. Confirm what was added

Description

The world's best AI personal assistant for email. Open source app to help you reach inbox zero fast.

Overview

Users can create, edit, and delete knowledge base entries. Each entry consists of: • A title for quick reference • Content that contains the actual information • Metadata like creation and update timestamps

Features

• Create: Users can add new knowledge entries with a title and content • Read: Entries are displayed in a table with title and last updated date • Update: Users can edit existing entries • Delete: Entries can be deleted with a confirmation dialog

Usage in Email Responses

The knowledge base entries are used to help draft responses to emails. When composing a reply, the system can reference these entries to include relevant information, ensuring consistent and accurate responses. When drafting responses, we use two LLMs: • A cheaper LLM that can process a lot of data (e.g. Google Gemini 2 Flash) • A more expensive LLM to draft the response (e.g. Anthropic Sonnet 3.7) The cheaper LLM is an agent that extracts the key information needed for the drafter LLM. For example, the knowledge base may include 100 pages of content, and the LLM extracts half a page of knowledge to pass to the more expensive drafter LLM.
