Use it to automate reply-all emails from scripts or agent workflows. **Install:** ```bash npx degit https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli/tree/main/skills/gws-gmail-reply-all ~/.claude/skills/gws-gmail-reply-all ``` ## README # gmail +reply-all > **PREREQUISITE:** Read `../gws-shared/SKILL.md` for auth, global flags, and security rules. If missing, run `gws generate-skills` to create it. Reply-all to a message (handles threading automatically) ## Usage ```bash gws gmail +reply-all --message-id --body ``` ## Flags | Flag | Required | Default | Description | |------|----------|---------|-------------| | `--message-id` | ✓ | — | Gmail message ID to reply to | | `--body` | ✓ | — | Reply body (plain text, or HTML with --html) | | `--from` | — | — | Sender address (for send-as/alias; omit to use account default) | | `--to` | — | — | Additional To email address(es), comma-separated | | `--attach` | — | — | Attach a file (can be specified multiple times) | | `--cc` | — | — | CC email address(es), comma-separated | | `--bcc` | — | — | BCC email address(es), comma-separated | | `--html` | — | — | Treat --body as HTML content (default is plain text) | | `--dry-run` | — | — | Show the request that would be sent without executing it | | `--draft` | — | — | Save as draft instead of sending | | `--remove` | — | — | Exclude recipients from the outgoing reply (comma-separated emails) | ## Examples ```bash gws gmail +reply-all --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --body 'Sounds good to me!' gws gmail +reply-all --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --body 'Updated' --remove bob@example.com gws gmail +reply-all --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --body 'Adding Eve' --cc eve@example.com gws gmail +reply-all --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --body 'Noted' --html gws gmail +reply-all --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --body 'Notes attached' -a notes.pdf gws gmail +reply-all --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --body 'Draft reply' --draft ``` ## Tips - 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 (

, , , etc.) — no / 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. ## See Also - [gws-shared](../gws-shared/SKILL.md) — Global flags and auth - [gws-gmail](../gws-gmail/SKILL.md) — All send, read, and manage email commands
