— the description by Google Workspace

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

The gws-gmail-triage skill provides a streamlined way to view a summary of unread emails in your Gmail inbox. By interacting with the Gmail API through the gws command-line interface, it extracts key details such as the sender, subject line, and date for quick review. The tool is designed to be read-only, ensuring that your mailbox remains untouched while you triage your incoming communications.

What it does

  • Lists unread messages from your Gmail inbox.
  • Displays sender, subject, and date information for each email.
  • Supports custom search queries to filter specific messages.
  • Allows limiting the number of results returned.
  • Provides optional inclusion of email labels in the output.
  • Supports JSON output for integration with other command-line tools.

When to use it

  • When you need a quick overview of unread emails without opening a browser.
  • When you want to filter your inbox by specific criteria like sender or keywords.
  • When you need to pipe email metadata into other scripts or tools.
  • When you want to perform a safe, read-only audit of your inbox status.

Advantages

  • Fast and efficient access to inbox summaries.
  • Read-only operation prevents accidental modifications.
  • Flexible filtering options via standard Gmail search queries.
  • Command-line native for seamless integration into developer workflows.

Usage examples

“Show me my latest unread emails.”
The agent executes the triage command to display a table of the most recent unread messages including sender, subject, and date.
“Find unread emails from my boss.”
The agent runs the triage command with a custom query filter to isolate and display relevant unread messages.
“List the subjects of my last 5 unread emails.”
The agent uses the max flag and pipes the JSON output to a processor to extract and list only the subject lines.
