README (SKILL.md)

Email Reply Reader

Reads Gmail inbox, finds job application replies, and classifies each response.

Prerequisites

gog authenticated with Gmail:

gog auth add [email protected] --services gmail

When to Activate

  • "查一下有没有回复"、"check my job application replies"
  • "有哪些公司回复了"、"did anyone respond to my resume"
  • "看看招聘邮件"、"read recruiter emails"

Workflow

Step 1: Search for application-related emails

# Search for replies in the last 30 days
gog gmail messages search "in:inbox (interview OR application OR resume OR opportunity OR position OR role OR job) newer_than:30d" \
  --max 50 \
  --account [email protected] \
  --json

Also search for sent mail to cross-reference:

gog gmail messages search "in:sent (application OR resume OR apply) newer_than:30d" \
  --max 50 \
  --account [email protected] \
  --json

Step 2: Classify each reply

For each email found, classify it into one of these categories:

Category Signals Next Action
🟢 Interview Invite "schedule", "interview", "call", "meet", "availability", "slot" Reply to confirm ASAP
🔵 Positive Interest "impressed", "interested", "shortlisted", "next steps", "team" Respond within 24h
🟡 Request for Info "portfolio", "references", "salary", "notice period", "assessment" Prepare and reply
🟠 Recruiter Outreach "exciting opportunity", "your profile", "perfect fit" (unsolicited) Evaluate if relevant
🔴 Rejection "unfortunately", "not moving forward", "other candidates", "not a fit" Log and move on
Auto-reply / No Info "thank you for applying", "received your application", generic acknowledgement Wait for real reply
Unclear Hard to classify Read full email for context

Step 3: Output structured summary

Present results in this format:

📬 Job Application Replies — Last 30 Days
Found [N] relevant emails from [N] companies

🟢 INTERVIEW INVITES ([N])
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• [Company] — [Role]

Step 4: Offer to draft reply

Interview confirmation template:

interview for the [Job Title] role at [Company].

I'm available at the following times:

you taking the time to follow up.

to be considered for future roles that may be a better fit.

Reading Full Email Content

To read the full body of a specific email:

# Get thread details (use thread ID from search results)
gog gmail search "from:company.com" --max 5 --account [email protected] --json

Follow-up Reminder Logic

For applications with no reply after 7 days, suggest a follow-up:

⏰ Follow-up Suggestions (no reply after 7+ days):
• [Company] — applied [N] days ago
  Draft a polite follow-up? [yes/no]

Follow-up template:

Subject: Following Up — Application for [Job Title]

submitted on [date]. I remain very interested in this opportunity and 
would love to learn about next steps.

Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

Usage Guidance
This skill will read your Gmail via the 'gog' CLI and classify recruiter replies. Before installing or invoking it: (1) verify the provenance and trustworthiness of the 'gog' binary you will use (official source, review permissions); (2) understand that authenticating will grant that tool access to your email content — consider using an account you control and trust; (3) confirm you are comfortable with the agent being allowed to invoke the skill autonomously (it could read emails when triggered); (4) the skill does not request unrelated secrets, but be cautious about sharing credentials outside of the vetted gog auth flow. If any of these are a concern, do not enable the skill or run the gog auth step until you validate gog's origin and permissions.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: email-reply-reader Version: 0.1.0 The skill is a specialized tool for managing job application responses by searching and categorizing Gmail messages using the 'gog' CLI utility. All commands and instructions in SKILL.md are strictly aligned with the stated purpose of identifying interview invites and rejections, and there is no evidence of data exfiltration, unauthorized access, or malicious prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description align with what the SKILL.md does: it searches a Gmail inbox and classifies replies. The only required binary is 'gog', which is exactly what's used in the instructions to access Gmail. No unrelated env vars, config paths, or extra binaries are requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions explicitly direct the agent to search inbox/sent mail and read full message bodies via 'gog'. This is expected for an email reader, but it means the skill will have access to full email text (sensitive PII). The SKILL.md does not instruct exfiltration or to post data to other endpoints, nor does it auto-send replies — it only offers templates and suggests drafting replies.
Install Mechanism
This is instruction-only with no install spec (lowest install risk). The user must already have the 'gog' binary; no downloads or archive extraction are specified by the skill itself.
Credentials
No environment variables or external credentials are declared. The skill expects the user to authenticate 'gog' with Gmail (via gog auth), which is proportionate to the claimed capability of reading Gmail.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and is user-invocable. The default platform setting allows autonomous invocation, so if you permit the agent to call the skill automatically it could read inbox content when triggered — this is a sensitivity consideration but not an intrinsic incoherence in the skill.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install email-reply-reader
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /email-reply-reader
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
