What is email-assistant?

A personal assistant for Gmail and Google Workspace email. It can search, read, summarize, translate, organize, and draft messages for two specified Gmail accounts.

It is for finding emails, summarizing or translating them, triaging inboxes, creating and updating drafts, and sending only after explicit approval.

It reduces the time spent sorting and understanding email while keeping sending under the user’s control. Its default is to create drafts rather than send messages automatically.

SkillSpector: 3 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00087	$0.01278
Opus 5	$0.00044	$0.00639
Sonnet 5	$0.00017	$0.00256
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00128

Security

Grade A, and why

email-assistant scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 11 executable files (scripts/action-logger.js, scripts/auth/auth-utils.js, scripts/auth/paths.js, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 157 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Email Assistant

Use this skill for Vipin's Gmail/Google Workspace email workflows: reading, searching, explaining, summarizing, drafting, and updating Gmail drafts across the umn and vipinapple account profiles.

Defaults

Use Gmail API scripts first. Do not open or control the browser for routine mail reading or drafting.
Keep normal output in Chinese unless the user asks otherwise.
Write outgoing professional or UMN mail in polished English unless the thread clearly uses another language.
Default to draft-only. Never send email unless the user explicitly says to send.
Use browser automation only for OAuth login, manual user review, or web-only fallback, and only with explicit confirmation before live account actions.
Do not store email bodies, tokens, cookies, credentials, browser profiles, or private mail content in the public wiki or Git.

Local Paths

Skill install:

D:\Research\vipin's knowledgebase\.codex\skills\email-assistant

Source mirror:

D:\Research\vipin's knowledgebase\skill\email-assistant

OAuth files are local-only and ignored by Git:

D:\Research\vipin's knowledgebase\.wiki-tmp\email-assistant\auth\credentials.json
D:\Research\vipin's knowledgebase\.wiki-tmp\email-assistant\auth\tokens.json

Override paths only when needed:

$env:EMAIL_ASSISTANT_AUTH_DIR = "D:\Research\vipin's knowledgebase\.wiki-tmp\email-assistant\auth"
$env:EMAIL_ASSISTANT_LOG_DIR = "D:\Research\vipin's knowledgebase\.wiki-tmp\email-assistant\logs"

First-Time Setup

From the skill directory:

& "D:\cc\node\corepack.cmd" pnpm install

Create a Google Cloud OAuth Desktop credential with Gmail API enabled, then save the downloaded credentials.json to:

.wiki-tmp\email-assistant\auth\credentials.json

Authenticate both accounts:

& "D:\cc\node\corepack.cmd" pnpm run setup -- --account umn --email "<umn email address>"
& "D:\cc\node\corepack.cmd" pnpm run setup -- --account vipinapple --email "<vipinapple email address>"
node scripts/manage-accounts.js --list

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
