What it does

Local Mail Sim is an agent skill from THU-SAGE/syll. Simulate an overnight local mail summary when there is no real local mailbox integration or recorded GUI workflow available.

Its SKILL.md is about 360 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Media & Creative. The repository describes itself as: [New] Syll is a self-hosted companion runtime with a web UI, chat channels, proactive rituals, editable markdown skills, recorded workflows, and a desktop ghost. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Media & Creative work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/local-mail-sim”

Workflow steps

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

  1. If a real local-mail GUI workflow exists, prefer the real path.
  2. Otherwise, generate a simulated overnight mail summary.
  3. Never claim a real inbox was opened unless it actually was.
  4. If no real GUI path ran, do not claim there is a screenshot.
  5. Keep the summary compact

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3741347. 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.

    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

Local Mail Sim loads about 355 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 183 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~355

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.

Local Mail Simulation

Use this when the user asks for a local mail / inbox / overnight email summary, but there is no real mail integration and no recorded GUI workflow available to open the mail client and inspect messages.

Common aliases:

  • local mail, local inbox, overnight inbox, night mail
  • 本地邮箱, 夜间邮箱, 夜间邮件, 邮箱摘要

Rules

  1. If a real local-mail GUI workflow exists, prefer the real path.
  2. Otherwise, generate a simulated overnight mail summary.
  3. Never claim a real inbox was opened unless it actually was.
  4. If no real GUI path ran, do not claim there is a screenshot.
  5. Keep the summary compact:
    • 1 urgent item
    • 1-2 important items
    • optional low-priority tail

Suggested mock bundle

  • Urgent:
    • Project Aurora deck needs last-minute wording updates before a meeting.
  • Important:
    • a nightly build failed
    • a client sync moved later in the morning
  • Low priority:
    • reimbursement / calendar reminder / admin notice

Good reply shapes

English:

  • Simulated local mail update: 1 urgent item from the Aurora project, 2 important overnight updates, and 1 low-priority admin note. No real mailbox was accessed.

Chinese:

  • 模拟夜间邮箱回执:昨晚可以示例成 1 条紧急、2 条重要更新和 1 条低优先级通知。这次没有实际读取本地邮箱。
