SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires gws.

What problem does it solve? Composing and sending Gmail messages from the command line normally requires handling RFC 5322 formatting, MIME encoding, and base64 attachments manually. This Skill wraps the gws gmail +send command so an AI agent can send emails with recipients, subjects, bodies, attachments, and aliases in one step. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Send emails with full addressing: Specify recipients with --to, --cc, --bcc, and send-as aliases via --from. - Attachments and HTML bodies: Attach multiple files (up to 25MB total) with --attach and send HTML content with --html. - Safe execution options: Preview requests with --dry-run or save messages with --draft instead of sending immediately. - Use Case: After generating a weekly report PDF, ask the agent to email it to your team with a subject line and a short HTML summary, saving it as a draft first for your review. ## Quick Start Send an email to [email protected] with the subject "Hello" and body "Hi Alice!" using the gws gmail send command.

FAQPage Schema
How do I send an email from the command line with Gmail?▼

How to send an email with attachments using gws gmail?▼

Add the --attach (or -a) flag for each file you want to include, and it can be specified multiple times in one command. The total size of all attachments is limited to 25MB.

Can I send HTML email with gws gmail send?▼

Can I save an email as a draft instead of sending it?▼
