When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Email management

Example prompts

“/c-email”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2562d1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

C Email loads about 547 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 81 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~547

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

This skill manages email via gog (Gmail) or himalaya (IMAP). Check availability with which gog himalaya.

Gmail — `gog mail` (gogcli)

bash

gog mail list                              # List inbox messages
gog mail list --label "INBOX" --max 20
gog mail read <message-id>                 # Read a message
gog mail send --to "user@example.com" --subject "Subject" --body "Body"
gog mail reply <message-id> --body "Reply text"
gog mail search "from:alice subject:report"
gog mail search "is:unread after:2026/02/01"
gog mail label add <message-id> "Label"
gog mail label remove <message-id> "INBOX"
gog mail archive <message-id>
gog mail trash <message-id>
gog mail labels                            # List all labels
gog mail thread <thread-id>                # View full thread

IMAP — `himalaya`

bash

himalaya list                              # List inbox
himalaya list -m 50                        # List last 50 messages
himalaya read <id>                         # Read message
himalaya write                             # Compose new message (interactive)
himalaya send --to "user@example.com" --subject "Subj" < body.txt
himalaya reply <id>
himalaya forward <id>
himalaya search "subject:report"
himalaya move <id> "Archive"               # Move to folder
himalaya delete <id>
himalaya folders                           # List folders
himalaya --account work list               # Use a specific account

Usage Guidelines

Prefer gog for Gmail accounts; prefer himalaya for non-Gmail IMAP.
Use gog mail search with Gmail search syntax (from:, to:, subject:, is:unread, has:attachment).
For sending with body content, pass the body directly or pipe a file.
Both tools require prior authentication setup.

Notes

gog requires Google OAuth configured via gog auth.
himalaya requires IMAP credentials in ~/.config/himalaya/config.toml.
