Description
Atomic node skill to draft an email via Gmail using the gog CLI.
README (SKILL.md)
Lean Philosophy (Principles)
- Kaizen (改善): This skill is an atomic node, broken down into its simplest, smallest component to eliminate waste and ensure perfection.
- Standardized Work (Hyojun Sagyo): This node represents the most efficient, standardized path for this specific task before automation.
- Jidoka (自働化): This node includes autonomous defect detection. It relies on the CLI's self-healing loop and will report errors if drafting fails.
Gmail Draft Email
This skill allows the agent to create an email draft using the native CLI.
Cognitive Directives
WHEN [An email needs to be drafted but not sent] THEN [ Execute the following Jidoka-validated loop:
- Execute Node: Execute the native terminal command
gog gmail drafts create --to "..." --subject "..." --body "..." --json. - Verification Step (Jidoka): Verify the command returns a valid JSON confirmation. IF it fails or returns an error message, wait 3 seconds and retry (max 3 times). IF it still fails, report the error to the user and STOP. ]
Schema Example
{
"command": "gog gmail drafts create --to \"[email protected]\" --subject \"Invoice\" --body \"Please review the attached invoice.\" --json"
}
Expected Output
Confirmation that the draft was created.
Usage Guidance
This skill is a minimal wrapper that runs the installed 'gog' CLI to create Gmail drafts. Before installing/use: (1) Ensure the gog binary on your system is from a trusted source and is the exact CLI you expect. (2) Be aware the skill will use whatever local gog/Gmail authentication tokens already exist — review those tokens and permissions. (3) When providing 'to', 'subject', or 'body' values to the agent, avoid passing untrusted raw strings that could cause shell-injection; prefer a mechanism that properly escapes or passes arguments as structured data. (4) Because the skill is instruction-only and runs a local binary, test it in a controlled environment first if you are unsure about the gog CLI provenance.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: gmail-draft-email
Version: 1.0.3
The skill is a straightforward wrapper for the 'gog' CLI tool to create Gmail drafts. The instructions in SKILL.md define a specific, narrow task using standard command-line arguments and include basic retry logic for error handling. No indicators of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection were found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill only requires the 'gog' binary and its single runtime instruction calls 'gog gmail drafts create ...' — this aligns with a Gmail-draft CLI helper.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md instructs only to run a single gog command and retry on transient failures. It does not reference unrelated files or env vars. Note: running the gog CLI will implicitly use whatever local gog/Gmail authentication is present (not declared), and the command concatenates user-supplied fields on a shell line — this can produce injection risks if inputs are not sanitized by the caller.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files are present (instruction-only), so nothing is written to disk by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill declares no env vars (reasonable). However, it implicitly relies on the user's gog CLI credentials/configuration (OAuth tokens or stored auth) to access Gmail; those credentials are not requested explicitly but will be used by the invoked binary.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled, has no install-time persistence actions, and does not request elevated system-wide privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install gmail-draft-email - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/gmail-draft-email - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.3
- Improved reliability with an explicit Jidoka-validated retry loop: will verify draft creation and retry up to 3 times on failure.
- Updated Cognitive Directives to detail verification steps and error handling.
- No changes to CLI usage or schema; workflow is now more robust against transient errors.
v1.0.2
Gmail Draft Email v1.0.2 changelog:
- Switched implementation from GoogleWorkspace plugin to native "gog" CLI tool.
- Updated requirements to use "gog" binary instead of plugin.
- Revised documentation, schema example, and output to reflect the CLI-based approach.
- Simplified the use case to focus on native command execution for drafting emails.
v1.0.1
- Expanded operating system support from "windows" to "all".
- No other changes made to functionality or documentation content.
v1.0.0
- Initial release of Gmail Draft Email skill.
- Enables creation of draft emails via the GoogleWorkspace plugin.
