What it does

Himalaya is an agent skill from HybridAIOne/hybridclaw. Manage email with the Himalaya CLI: configure accounts, list folders, read or search messages, draft replies, send mail, or download attachments from the terminal.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Enterprise-ready self-hosted AI assistant runtime with sandboxed execution, secure credentials, approvals, and memory. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/himalaya”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Verify the CLI
  2. If it is missing, tell the user to run
  3. Verify accounts
  4. If no account exists, run
  5. If multiple accounts exist, use --account explicitly.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8162701. 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

Himalaya loads about 506 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 127 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~506

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.

Himalaya Email CLI

Use Himalaya for host-side IMAP and SMTP email workflows when a terminal-native client is the right tool.

Default Workflow

  1. Verify the CLI:
    bash
    himalaya --version
  2. If it is missing, tell the user to run:
    bash
    hybridclaw skill install himalaya brew
  3. Verify accounts:
    bash
    himalaya account list
  4. If no account exists, run:
    bash
    himalaya account configure
  5. If multiple accounts exist, use --account <name> explicitly.

Common Operations

List folders:

bash
himalaya folder list

List message envelopes:

bash
himalaya envelope list --output json

Read a message:

bash
himalaya message read 42

Reply:

bash
himalaya message reply 42

Write and send from a template:

bash
cat <<'EOF' | himalaya template send
From: you@example.com
To: recipient@example.com
Subject: Follow-up

Draft body here.
EOF

Download attachments:

bash
himalaya attachment download 42 --dir /tmp/himalaya-attachments

Rules

  • Draft first, send second. Show the planned email body before sending.
  • Confirm before send, delete, move, or forward operations.
  • Prefer --output json when you need machine-readable search or list results.
  • If the user only wants a summary of already ingested email threads, prefer channel-catchup.
  • Keep account selection explicit when there is any ambiguity.
