add-gmail

add-gmail is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DingyangLyu/MatClaw. It costs 60 tokens per session (2,222 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of add-gmail, Apache-2.0.

A Gmail connection for MatClaw, an agent that can work through WhatsApp or email. It can add Gmail as a tool or let incoming emails start the agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to connect Gmail to MatClaw, read and search messages, draft and send email, or let incoming emails trigger tasks and receive replies.
Why use it?
It removes the need to switch between Gmail and the agent for reading, searching, drafting, or sending email. It also guides you through Google's OAuth setup.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

add-gmail 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (add/src/channels/gmail.test.ts, add/src/channels/gmail.ts, modify/container/agent-runner/src/index.ts, …), 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.

Origin

This is a copy

73% identical to add-gmail — 108 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Add Gmail Integration

This skill adds Gmail support to MatClaw — either as a tool (read, send, search, draft) or as a full channel that polls the inbox.

Phase 1: Pre-flight

Check if already applied

Read .matclaw/state.yaml. If gmail is in applied_skills, skip to Phase 3 (Setup). The code changes are already in place.

Ask the user

Use AskUserQuestion:

AskUserQuestion: Should incoming emails be able to trigger the agent?

  • Yes — Full channel mode: the agent listens on Gmail and responds to incoming emails automatically
  • No — Tool-only: the agent gets full Gmail tools (read, send, search, draft) but won't monitor the inbox. No channel code is added.

Phase 2: Apply Code Changes

Initialize skills system (if needed)

If .matclaw/ directory doesn't exist yet:

npx tsx scripts/apply-skill.ts --init

Path A: Tool-only (user chose "No")

Do NOT run the full apply script. Only two source files need changes. This avoids adding dead code (gmail.ts, gmail.test.ts, index.ts channel logic, routing tests, googleapis dependency).

1. Mount Gmail credentials in container

Apply the changes described in modify/src/container-runner.ts.intent.md to src/container-runner.ts: import os, add a conditional read-write mount of ~/.gmail-mcp to /home/node/.gmail-mcp in buildVolumeMounts() after the session mounts.

2. Add Gmail MCP server to agent runner

Apply the changes described in modify/container/agent-runner/src/index.ts.intent.md to container/agent-runner/src/index.ts: add gmail MCP server (npx -y @gongrzhe/server-gmail-autoauth-mcp) and 'mcp__gmail__*' to allowedTools.

3. Record in state

Add gmail to .matclaw/state.yaml under applied_skills with mode: tool-only.

4. Validate
npm run build

Build must be clean before proceeding. Skip to Phase 3.

Path B: Channel mode (user chose "Yes")

Run the full skills engine to apply all code changes:

npx tsx scripts/apply-skill.ts .claude/skills/add-gmail

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.
