Description
Your inbox has 5,000 unread messages and you're drowning. Email Assistant doesn't just summarize — it reads your emails with full context, sorts them into Ur...
Usage Guidance
This package appears coherent and focused on local email triage. Before installing, consider: 1) Review the SETUP-PROMPT.md steps and run them manually (they copy files and set permissions in your workspace). 2) Confirm you already have and trust the local email tool you want to use (himalaya/gog/mutt) because this skill delegates authentication to that tool. 3) If you plan to use the dashboard/DB pieces, be aware that deploying the dashboard or a remote database could move email summaries off your machine — treat that as a separate decision and audit those deployments. 4) The health-check script has a small apparent syntax/logic issue; run it in a safe environment first. 5) As always, review draft replies before sending (the skill enforces draft-only behavior, but user approval is required).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: normieclaw-email-assistant
Version: 1.0.3
The Email Assistant skill is a well-documented tool for inbox triage and draft generation with a strong emphasis on security and privacy. It includes extensive defensive instructions in SKILL.md to protect the agent against prompt injection from untrusted email content and phishing attempts. The setup process (SETUP-PROMPT.md) and health check script (scripts/email-health-check.sh) use standard system commands to manage local data with restricted permissions (chmod 600/700) and rely on pre-configured external CLI tools (like himalaya or gog) rather than handling sensitive credentials directly.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (email triage, draft generation, VIP rules, anti-phishing) align with the included files: SKILL.md, config, examples, a setup prompt, and a small health-check script. The skill delegates authentication to existing email tooling (himalaya/gog/mutt) which is coherent for this purpose. No unrelated credentials or binaries are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md gives explicit, narrow runtime instructions: fetch emails via local email tooling, classify, generate drafts (draft-only), and apply phishing/prompt-injection defenses. The SETUP-PROMPT instructs copying package files into a workspace and creating local data dirs (expected). The health-check script and setup copy local config and scripts — normal for a local skill. Note: the health-check script contains a suspicious-looking stray 'fi' / early return in find_skill_root (likely a minor bug) which could break setup checks; this is an implementation defect, not a redirection or exfiltration step.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or external downloads are present; the skill is instruction-only with one small script and config files. Setup copies files into a local workspace and sets filesystem permissions — expected and low-risk. There are no downloads from third-party URLs or archive extraction steps.
Credentials
The package declares no required environment variables, no primary credential, and no required config paths. All email access is delegated to user-managed CLI tools (himalaya/gog/mutt), which is proportionate. One caveat: the dashboard companion and DB schema describe scenarios for moving to a hosted DB (e.g., Supabase) — if the user opts to deploy the dashboard/backend remotely, data could leave the machine; the core skill itself does not request such access.
Persistence & Privilege
always: false and no elevated platform privileges are requested. Setup writes local files under an email-assistant/ directory and sets restrictive permissions (chmod 700/600) — this is expected and scoped to the skill's own data. The skill does not attempt to modify other skills or system-wide agent settings.
