At a glance
Replies to everyone on a Gmail message through the gws CLI, with threading handled automatically, options to add or drop recipients, and a draft mode.
- Replying to every participant of an email thread from the command line
- SKILL.md covers Usage, Flags, Examples and Tips, plus 1 more section
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
- Replying to a thread while removing one person from the recipients
What it does
The skill wraps `gws gmail +reply-all`, which needs a message ID and a body. By default the reply goes to the sender and all original To and CC recipients, and it stays in the same thread. Extra flags add To, CC and BCC addresses, attach files (repeatable), choose a send-as address, or treat the body as HTML, in which case the quoted block keeps Gmail's quote styling and inline images survive.
`--remove` drops chosen recipients from the outgoing reply, including the sender or Reply-To target, and the command fails if no To recipient is left. `--draft` saves the reply instead of sending it, and `--dry-run` prints the request without executing it. Before use, the agent should read the shared gws skill for authentication, global flags and security rules, generating it with `gws generate-skills` if it is missing.
When your agent uses it
- Replying to every participant of an email thread from the command line
- Replying to a thread while removing one person from the recipients
- Saving a reply-all as a draft for review before it goes out
Example prompts
- “Reply-all to message 18f1a2b3c4d saying the Thursday slot works for me.”
- “Draft a reply-all to that thread, remove bob@example.com and add eve@example.com on CC.”
- “Do a dry run of the reply-all to message 18f1a2b3c4d with the signed PDF attached.”
Requirements
- The `gws` Google Workspace CLI, authenticated for the Gmail account
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a3768d0. 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
Gmail Reply-All Command loads about 736 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 266 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

gws gmail +reply-all --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --body 'Adding Eve' --cc eve@example.com
gws gmail +reply-all --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --body '<i>Noted</i>' --html
gws gmail +reply-all --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --body 'Notes attached' -a notes.pdf
gws gmail +reply-all --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --body 'Draft reply' --draftTips
- Replies to the sender and all original To/CC recipients.
- Use --to to add extra recipients to the To field.
- Use --cc to add new CC recipients.
- Use --bcc for recipients who should not be visible to others.
- Use --remove to exclude recipients from the outgoing reply, including the sender or Reply-To target.
- The command fails if no To recipient remains after exclusions and --to additions.
- Use -a/--attach to add file attachments. Can be specified multiple times.
- With --html, the quoted block uses Gmail's gmail_quote CSS classes and preserves HTML formatting. Use fragment tags (
<p>,<b>,<a>, etc.) — no<html>/<body>wrapper needed. - With --html, inline images in the quoted message are preserved via cid: references.
- Use --draft to save the reply as a draft instead of sending it immediately.
