You’re right to push on that — some emails *aren’t* quoted, and the ones we sent to Maya *are*.

What changed here is the **send path**: the `letters send` AppleScript is causing Apple Mail to package the body at **quote-level 1** (HTML wrapped in a `<blockquote …>` and plain-text lines prefixed with `>`). That’s why it looks like a quoted reply even though your draft file had no `>` in it.

It *may* have “worked before” if:
- you sent earlier emails directly from the Mail UI (those typically don’t get wrapped like this), or
- the `letters` skill / Mail.app behavior changed recently (your `letters.py` was last modified **Feb 27, 2026**).

If you want, I can fix this properly by patching the `letters` skill (outside the repo) and then **test safely by creating a draft (not sending)** and inspecting the raw source to confirm the body is *not* quoted before we use it again. Want me to do that?

# Jimmy

Wake a named Jimmy (Codex session tied to a directory) and send it a prompt.

## What it does

- Resolves `<name>` to `~/project/<name>` (strips leading `Jimmy-`), with fallbacks:
  - `~/Jimmy/frequencies/<name>` (Slack/SMS/Vox, etc.)
  - `~/Jimmy/mini/<name>` (or force with `mini/<name>`)
- Reads `<dir>/.Jimmy/state.json`:
  - required: `codex.session_id`
  - optional defaults: `codex.model`, `codex.profile`, `codex.model_reasoning_effort`
- Refuses to run if `jimmy.host` in `.Jimmy/state.json` doesn’t match the current host (uses `$JIMMY_HOST` if set, else hostname). Use `--allow-wrong-host` to override.
- `--model` / `--profile` / `--reasoning-effort` override settings per launch.
- **Default (tmux mode):** if `tmux` is installed, keeps the Jimmy “warm” in a background tmux session (`jimmy-<name>`) running `codex resume ...`, then injects the prompt into that session.
  - If `tmux` is not available, falls back to `codex exec -C <dir> resume <session_id> -` (prompt via stdin).
- **No raw-mode tmux usage:** use `--status` and `--peek` to monitor a Jimmy without attaching to its tmux session (no `tmux attach` needed).
- Prevents concurrent runs via lock: `<dir>/.Jimmy/lock`
- If `OPENAI_API_KEY` is missing in the current environment, it is auto-loaded from `~/Jimmy/.env` when available.

## Usage

Inline prompt:

```bash
"${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/Jimmy/Jimmy" plaudtool "run a full sync please!"
```

Mini Jimmy (explicit):

```bash
"${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/Jimmy/Jimmy" "mini/assistant" "generate the morning report"
```

Target dir override (explicit):

```bash
"${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/Jimmy/Jimmy" vox --dir "$HOME/Jimmy/frequencies/vox" "summarize the current Vox status"
```

Per-launch model override:

```bash
"${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/Jimmy/Jimmy" mail --model gpt-5.3-codex "check inbox status"
```

Per-launch profile override:

```bash
"${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/Jimmy/Jimmy" assistant --profile low-latency "draft a quick summary"
```

Per-launch reasoning-effort override:

```bash
"${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/Jimmy/Jimmy" divorce --reasoning-effort medium "summarize the latest updates"
```

Prompt from file (recommended for cron):

```bash
"${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/Jimmy/Jimmy" mail --prompt-file prompts/mail-daily.txt
```

Dry run:

```bash
"${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/Jimmy/Jimmy" plaudtool --dry-run "hello"
```

Async (fire-and-forget; log file output is only used in headless mode when tmux isn't available):

```bash
"${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/Jimmy/Jimmy" plaudtool --async "kick off the job"
tail -n 200 -F /tmp/codex-jimmy-wake/plaudtool.log
```

Machine-readable summary (`codex` output is streamed to stderr):

```bash
"${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/Jimmy/Jimmy" plaudtool --json "hello"
```

Status (no prompt; safe “screen scrape” alternative):

```bash
"${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/Jimmy/Jimmy" headroom --status
```

Peek recent output without attaching to tmux (default last 200 lines):

```bash
"${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/Jimmy/Jimmy" headroom --peek
"${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/Jimmy/Jimmy" headroom --peek 400
```

## Notes

- This is a launcher only; it doesn’t create sessions (you must create the target dir’s `.Jimmy/state.json` first).
- Refuses to target the *current* Codex session directory when invoked from inside Codex (prevents recursive self-launch). Use `--allow-self` to override.
- If a stale lock remains, delete `<dir>/.Jimmy/lock` manually.
- In tmux mode, output lives in the tmux session + the Jimmy’s transcripts/artifacts.

Sent a note to **Jimmy-prime** (via `$Jimmy`, targeting your main `~/Jimmy` session) with the exact evidence + where to patch (`~/.codex/skills/letters/letters.py` → `SEND_APPLESCRIPT`) and a few concrete AppleScript rewrites to stop Mail from wrapping the whole body in a `<blockquote>` / `>` quoting, plus how to verify via raw `source`.

Until that fix lands, I’ll avoid using `letters send` for lawyer emails unless you explicitly want to risk the formatting — safest workflow is: I draft + you paste/send from Mail.app.
