What Gmail does

Gmail is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Gmail comes from a repository tagged agent, agentic-ai, ai-assistant, anthropic and autonomous-agents.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

This skill provides Gmail-specific operations beyond the shared messaging skill. For cross-platform messaging (send, read, search, reply), use the messaging skill. Gmail operations depend on the messaging skill's provider infrastructure - load messaging first if Gmail is not yet connected.

Script Reference

All operations use CLI scripts that return JSON:

Success: { "ok": true, "data": ... }
Failure: { "ok": false, "error": "..." }

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
