What it does

Personalized Email is an agent skill from topoteretes/cognee. Draft a reply to your newest Gmail email that knows what you discussed in your Granola meetings, what you promised the sender, and how you write, using cognee memory. Use when someone asks to answer or reply to their latest email in their own tone. Runs locally; reads Gmail read-only; the draft is printed, never sent.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Email management. It works with Gmail. The repository describes itself as: Cognee is the open-source AI memory platform for agents. Give your AI agents persistent long-term memory with small models for free. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Someone asks to answer
  • Reply to their latest email in their own tone

Example prompts

  • “/personalized-email”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in LLM_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run uv run python examples/cookbooks/personalized_email/personalized_email.py --check.
  2. Run uv run python examples/cookbooks/personalized_email/personalized_email.py. Add
  3. The draft is everything after the line [draft] Reply:. Give it to the user, and say
  4. If a script fails, personalized_email.py exits 1 with a line naming what went wrong.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0ec7a9f. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • LLM_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Personalized Email loads about 695 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 345 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~695

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:43
    of `credentials.json`, `token.json` or `.env`.

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.

description
Draft a reply to your newest Gmail email that knows what you discussed in your Granola meetings, what you promised the sender, and how you write, using cognee memory. Use when someone asks to answer or reply to their latest email in their own tone. Runs locally; reads Gmail read-only; the draft is printed, never sent.

Personalized email

Runs the personalized email cookbook in examples/cookbooks/personalized_email/. It remembers your Granola meeting notes and your Gmail inbox and sent mail in the cognee dataset personalized_email, then drafts a reply to the newest inbox email. Setup, the scripts and what each one does are in the cookbook's README.md.

Run every command from the repo root.

Steps

With neither Gmail nor Granola set up, the commands below run on a sample mailbox (the [setup] line says so) and draft a reply to a fictional email; only LLM_API_KEY is needed. Tell the user the reply is to sample data. Add --sample to use the sample even when their accounts are set up.

  1. Run uv run python examples/cookbooks/personalized_email/personalized_email.py --check.
    • Exit 0: go to step 2.
    • Exit 2: each [setup] MISSING: line names one fix. Don't create credentials yourself. Tell the user exactly which line to fix, using the README's "What it needs" table, and stop. If only the Granola line is missing, ask whether to run with --no-granola instead.
  2. Run uv run python examples/cookbooks/personalized_email/personalized_email.py. Add --days N if the user named a time range for meetings, and --no-granola if they don't want Granola used.
  3. The draft is everything after the line [draft] Reply:. Give it to the user, and say which email it answers (the [draft] Answering: line) and which sources went in (the [ingest_granola] and [ingest_email] lines). The draft is never sent: hand it to the user to send.
  4. If a script fails, personalized_email.py exits 1 with a line naming what went wrong. Run that script from examples/cookbooks/personalized_email/scripts/ on its own to look closer.

Rules

  • Gmail access is read-only and nothing is sent.
  • Don't print the contents of credentials.json, token.json or .env.
  • A sample run forgets the cookbook's dataset personalized_email before it ingests (the [clear] line). On the user's own data, pass --clear only when they asked to start over: it forgets everything the dataset holds.
  • Ingesting reads the user's real meetings and mailbox, and every run uses LLM credits, so run it only when the user asked for it.

Clean up

uv run cognee-cli forget --dataset personalized_email
