gws gmail +reply-all --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --body 'Adding Eve' --cc [email protected]
gws gmail +reply-all --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --body '\x3Ci>Noted\x3C/i>' --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 (\x3Cp>, \x3Cb>, \x3Ca>, etc.) — no \x3Chtml>/\x3Cbody> 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.

Usage Guidance
This skill is a lightweight wrapper around a local 'gws' CLI and appears to do only what it says (reply-all). Before installing: 1) verify the 'gws' binary on your system (which version, where it came from, and whether you trust it). 2) Open ../gws-shared/SKILL.md (or run the recommended 'gws generate-skills' in a safe environment) to see exactly what authentication, environment variables, and scopes are required — the shared file likely contains the Gmail credentials that this command will use. 3) Confirm you are comfortable granting the gws tooling access to your Gmail account and that attachments or drafts handling meets your safety/privacy needs. If you cannot inspect the gws binary or the shared auth file, treat installation as higher risk.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: gws-gmail-reply-all
Version: 1.0.14
The skill bundle 'gws-gmail-reply-all' is a standard documentation-only wrapper for a CLI tool ('gws') to handle Gmail reply-all functionality. The SKILL.md file provides clear usage instructions, flags, and examples without any evidence of malicious intent, prompt injection, or unauthorized data access.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name, description, and runtime instructions consistently describe a single purpose: invoking the 'gws' CLI to reply-all to a Gmail message. The only mismatch is that this SKILL.md does not declare any auth or environment variables itself — it delegates auth and global flags to ../gws-shared/SKILL.md (expected for shared tooling, but the required credentials/scope will be defined outside this file).
Instruction Scope
All runtime instructions are limited to invoking the 'gws' CLI with documented flags and options. The SKILL.md does not instruct reading arbitrary system files, network endpoints, or unspecified environment variables. It does instruct the user/agent to consult ../gws-shared/SKILL.md for auth and global flags.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files; nothing is written to disk by the skill itself. The risk surface is primarily the external 'gws' binary that must already exist on PATH.
Credentials
This skill declares no required environment variables or credentials itself, which is proportional to an instruction-only wrapper. However, it explicitly defers authentication and global flags to ../gws-shared/SKILL.md; those external requirements may request Gmail credentials or other env vars — inspect that shared file to confirm the exact credentials and scopes requested.
Persistence & Privilege
No elevated persistence is requested (always: false). The skill is user-invocable and may be invoked autonomously by the agent per platform defaults, which is normal for skills; there are no indications it modifies other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install gws-gmail-reply-all - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/gws-gmail-reply-all - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
