Description
Atomic node skill to send 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 sending fails.
Gmail Send Email
This skill allows the agent to send an email using the native CLI.
Cognitive Directives
WHEN [An email needs to be sent to one or more recipients]
THEN [Execute the native terminal command gog gmail send --to "..." --subject "..." --body "..."]
Schema Example
{
"command": "gog gmail send --to \"[email protected]\" --subject \"Invoice\" --body \"Please find the invoice attached.\" --json"
}
Expected Output
Confirmation that the email was sent successfully.
Usage Guidance
Before installing or enabling this skill: (1) Confirm you have the official/expected 'gog' binary installed from a trusted source and that it is properly authenticated to a Gmail account you control. (2) Understand that the agent will run a shell command to send mail — require explicit confirmation or tight prompts to avoid accidental or malicious sends. (3) Ensure inputs (to/subject/body) are safely escaped or passed in a way that avoids shell/argument injection; if the platform lets you, prefer structured API invocation rather than composing a single shell command string. (4) Review where the 'gog' CLI stores its auth tokens (local config files) and ensure those credentials are protected. (5) Test the workflow in a safe environment (test account) before allowing production use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: gmail-send-email
Version: 1.0.2
The skill is a straightforward wrapper for the 'gog' CLI tool, designed to send emails via Gmail. The instructions in SKILL.md are clearly aligned with the stated purpose, and there is no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized command execution. It relies on a pre-installed binary and follows a standard command-line interface pattern.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill is an instruction-only node that calls the 'gog' CLI to send mail. Requiring the 'gog' binary is appropriate and proportional to the described purpose; there are no unrelated binaries, env vars, or install steps requested.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md tells the agent to run a shell command with interpolated recipient/subject/body values (gog gmail send --to ... --subject ... --body ...). It doesn’t describe safe escaping/quoting or require use of a structured API call, so there is a risk of shell/argument injection or accidental sending of unintended content. It also doesn’t state that the CLI must be pre-authenticated or how to handle failures.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only). That is low-risk because nothing is downloaded or written by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill requests no env vars or credentials, which is consistent for an instruction-only wrapper. However, in practice the 'gog' CLI will need Gmail credentials/configuration stored elsewhere (user config files or local auth tokens). Those credentials are not declared or explained here.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable. The skill does not request permanent platform presence or attempt to modify other skills or global agent configuration.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install gmail-send-email - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/gmail-send-email - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
