Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00041 | $0.01362 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00681 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00272 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00136 |
Grade A, and why
email 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 10d ago.
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 — 186 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Run the external himalaya binary via blue exec when the task is about a real mailbox.
Himalaya is a CLI email client that supports IMAP, SMTP, Notmuch, and Sendmail backends. It can list folders, search envelopes, read full messages, compose drafts, send replies, move/archive mail, manage flags, and download attachments.
Prefer This Skill When
- The user explicitly mentions
himalaya - The user explicitly mentions
email - The task is about a real inbox, IMAP/SMTP account, or terminal email workflow
- The user wants a CLI path for listing, reading, replying to, archiving, or sending emails
- The user is using multiple mail accounts and wants account-aware commands
Do not prefer this skill for benchmark-local email fixtures already stored in the workspace like inbox/ unless the user explicitly asks for Himalaya or a real mail backend.
Prerequisites
- Verify the CLI exists:
blue exec command="himalaya --version"
- Configure an account interactively:
blue exec command="himalaya account configure"
- Or create
~/.config/himalaya/config.tomlmanually:
[accounts.personal]
email = "[email protected]"
display-name = "Your Name"
default = true
backend.type = "imap"
backend.host = "imap.example.com"
backend.port = 993
backend.encryption.type = "tls"
backend.login = "[email protected]"
backend.auth.type = "password"
backend.auth.cmd = "pass show email/imap"
message.send.backend.type = "smtp"
message.send.backend.host = "smtp.example.com"
message.send.backend.port = 587
message.send.backend.encryption.type = "start-tls"
message.send.backend.login = "[email protected]"
message.send.backend.auth.type = "password"
message.send.backend.auth.cmd = "pass show email/smtp"
Task Routing
| User Intent | Action |
|---|---|
| List folders/accounts | blue exec command='himalaya folder list' / blue exec command='himalaya account list' |
| Search inbox or unread mail | blue exec command='himalaya envelope list --output json ...' |
| Read a message body | blue exec command='himalaya message read <id>' |
| Export raw MIME | blue exec command='himalaya message export <id> --full' |
| Reply, forward, or compose | blue exec command='himalaya message reply <id>' / blue exec command='himalaya message forward <id>' / blue exec command='himalaya message write' |
| Send a prepared message | blue exec command='himalaya template send' |
| Archive or move mail | blue exec command='himalaya message move <id> \"Archive\"' |
| Download attachments | blue exec command='himalaya attachment download <id>' |
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.

email is a skill published in the GitHub repository IceWhaleTech/ZimaOS-Blue (25 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 1,362 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
