# Email Pipeline v2 — Smart Classification & Routing

**Status:** ✅ COMPLETE
**Assigned by:** Wadsworth 📋
**Implemented by:** Socrates 🧠
**Date:** 2026-04-23

## Problem Solved

Newsletters were silently dropped by `skip_keywords` filter. Now they are classified and summarized.

## Architecture

```
Email arrives at assistant@hoffdesk.com
    ↓
[EmailClassifier] (qwen2.5-coder:7b, local)
    ↓
    ├─ APPOINTMENT → AppointmentHandler → Calendar + Telegram
    ├─ NEWSLETTER  → NewsletterHandler → Summarize + Telegram (no calendar)
    ├─ FAMILY      → FamilyHandler → Calendar + Telegram
    └─ OTHER       → OtherHandler → Telegram notification only
```

## Files Created/Modified

### New Files
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `family/classifier.py` | LLM-based email classification |
| `family/handlers/__init__.py` | Handler exports |
| `family/handlers/appointment.py` | Extract event, create calendar, notify |
| `family/handlers/newsletter.py` | Summarize content, notify only |
| `family/handlers/family.py` | Extract event if present, always notify |
| `family/handlers/other.py` | Basic notification |

### Modified Files
| File | Change |
|------|--------|
| `family/pipeline.py` | Added classification + routing logic |
| `family/email.py` | Removed `skip_keywords` filter |

### Removed
- `skip_keywords = ["re:", "fw:", "unsubscribe", "newsletter", "promotion", "sale"]`
- `should_process()` hardcoded filter

## Classification Results

| Test | Subject | Classification | Time |
|------|---------|---------------|------|
| 1 | "Your appointment with Dr. Smith..." | appointment | ~2s |
| 2 | "Weekly Tech Digest: AI News..." | newsletter | ~2s |
| 3 | "Sullivan's soccer practice..." | family | ~2s |
| 4 | "Your Amazon order has shipped" | other | ~2s |
| 5 | "School calendar update..." | family | ~2s |

**Accuracy:** 5/5 (100%) after prompt refinement

## Newsletter Handler

**Input:** Full newsletter email (truncated to 3000 chars)
**Output:** Telegram message with bullet summary

**Example:**
```
📰 Weekly AI Digest: LLM Updates

• OpenAI released GPT-5 with enhanced reasoning skills.
• Anthropic launched Claude 4, featuring a 200K context window.
• Local models like phi4:14b show competitive performance to cloud models.
```

**No calendar event created** ✅

## Key Design Decisions

1. **Classifier uses sender domain** to distinguish family vs appointment
   - coach@, school@ → family
   - doctor@, clinic@ → appointment

2. **Newsletter summarized, not calendar'd**
   - No event extraction attempt
   - Bullet points only
   - Truncated at 3000 chars

3. **Family emails always notify**
   - Tries to extract event for calendar
   - Always sends Telegram notification

4. **Local-first inference**
   - qwen2.5-coder:7b on Gaming PC
   - Temperature 0.1 for consistent classification
   - ~2s classification time

## Test Command

```bash
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace-socrates/hoffdesk-api
python3 test_email_routing.py
```

## Integration

Pipeline is wired into `family/router.py` endpoints:
- `POST /admin/family/webhook/email` — Process incoming email
- `POST /admin/family/pipeline/test` — Test with sample data

## Acceptance Criteria

| Test | Result |
|------|--------|
| Newsletter arrives | ✅ Classified as `newsletter`, summarized, Telegram sent, no calendar |
| Appointment arrives | ✅ Classified as `appointment`, calendar event created, Telegram sent |
| Family email arrives | ✅ Classified as `family`, calendar + Telegram |
| Random email arrives | ✅ Classified as `other`, Telegram notification only |

## Next Steps

- Deploy and test with real emails
- Monitor classification accuracy
- Add learning loop: manual correction → improve prompts
