Project description:
"I need a small piece of code that sits on my computer and watches my Gmail inbox in real time. The moment a job-offer message arrives, the script should decide—based on my preference list—whether to accept it. My preferences are driven by three filters I’ll maintain in a simple text or CSV file: specific keywords, approved senders, and the job’s category. When several offers arrive, the one whose keywords rank highest should be accepted first.

Once the script selects an offer, it must send an acceptance reply right away and drop a placeholder event into my calendar with a generic date and time (for example “Next available weekday, 10:00 AM”). This calendar entry can be created through Google Calendar’s API or an .ics file—whichever is faster to implement.

I’m comfortable editing a config file, but I don’t want to touch the code. So please make the preference list easy to update and add concise setup instructions that cover Gmail API credentials and any required Python libraries or alternative tooling you choose (e.g., Apps Script).

Deliverables:
• Fully-commented source code
• A sample preference list file
• A quick-start guide (readme) showing how to run, authorize, and tweak filters

Acceptance Criteria: the script must (1) detect new emails instantly, (2) filter using all three criteria, (3) reply with a predefined acceptance template, and (4) create the calendar event without manual intervention." (client-provided description)
