email

A command-based assistant for managing Gmail email from a terminal. It can work with messages, conversations, drafts, labels, and attachments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search and read email, check unread messages, create or manage drafts, send messages, handle attachments, and apply or remove labels.
Why use it?
It avoids switching between a terminal workflow and the Gmail website for routine email tasks. It also provides standard searches for unread, recent, or sender-specific messages.

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

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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Gmail Email Management

When the user wants to manage their email from the terminal, delegate to the gmail-assistant subagent.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user:

  • Asks to check their email or inbox
  • Wants to search for specific emails
  • Needs to read an email thread
  • Wants to send or compose an email
  • Mentions Gmail or email management
  • Asks about unread messages

What the Subagent Handles

The gmail-assistant subagent uses gmcli to:

  1. Search Emails

    • Use Gmail query syntax
    • Return formatted results
    • Offer to read specific threads
  2. Read Threads

    • Display full conversation
    • Show attachments
    • Offer follow-up actions
  3. Send Emails

    • Compose with to/cc/bcc
    • Support attachments
    • Confirm before sending
  4. Manage Drafts

    • Create, edit, delete drafts
    • Send saved drafts
  5. Handle Labels

    • List available labels
    • Add/remove labels from threads
    • Archive messages

Default Behaviors

  • "Check my email" - Search for unread emails: is:unread newer_than:1d
  • "Any new emails?" - Same as above
  • "Check inbox" - Show recent inbox: in:inbox newer_than:1d
  • "Email from X" - Search: from:X

Setup Required

If gmcli is not installed or configured, the subagent will guide the user through setup:

  1. Install via npm
  2. Configure Google OAuth credentials
  3. Add Gmail account

Example Triggers

  • "Check if I have any new emails"
  • "Search for emails from John about the project"
  • "Send an email to [email protected]"
  • "Read that email thread"
  • "Check my inbox for unread messages"
  • "Any emails from my boss today?"
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.
