SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Himalaya eliminates the friction of checking and composing email by letting you do common IMAP/SMTP tasks directly from your terminal instead of juggling a web client.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read and search email from the CLI: List folders/envelopes, search by sender/subject, and read or export messages (including raw MIME).
  • Compose and send reliably: Build messages using templates and pipe stdin for non-interactive workflows, including reply/forward flows.
  • Move, delete, and manage state: Move/copy messages between folders, delete by ID, and add/remove message flags like seen.
  • Agent-friendly structured output: Use JSON output to make results easy for automation (e.g., runtime status tools or PR-agent workflows).

Quick Start

Send a new email non-interactively by piping a message into Himalaya’s template sender, for example: pipe a prepared email with From/To/Subject and body into himalaya template send.
