* refactor(skills): shipped-set slim — 15 skills to optional, github six-way merge, pdf absorbs OCR+nano-pdf, channel-gated teams pipeline
Maintainer-directed shipped-skills curation (skills index 1,900 -> ~1,400
tok/call on desktop; every session pays the index, so this is a per-call
diet on all installs):
- optional-skills moves (installable via skills hub, history preserved):
creative comfyui/ascii-art/excalidraw/pretext/sketch/touchdesigner-mcp;
ALL of mlops (huggingface-hub, llama-cpp, serving-llms-vllm,
weights-and-biases, evaluating-llms-harness — subcategory structure
kept); research-paper-writing (55 supporting files, 17.3K-tok load);
openhue; blogwatcher (first taught the cronjob monitor-field watch
pattern + web_extract instead of pre-cron manual workflows)
- DELETED session-librarian (Aug-12 'inspired by Perplexity Computer'
port, never maintainer-intended; session_search covers discovery)
- github: six skills (auth, issues, pr-workflow, issue-to-pr,
code-review, repo-management) merged into ONE software-development/
github skill — routing body + complete per-workflow references;
benbarclay authorship credited; codebase-inspection rides along;
discipline pins from test_github_issue_to_pr_skill.py preserved
against the reference body in the new test_github_skill.py
- pdf absorbs ocr-and-documents + nano-pdf as references/ + scripts
(extract_pymupdf, extract_marker converted to the argparse house
standard its contract test enforces)
- NEW session_platforms frontmatter gate (metadata.hermes): hides a
skill from the index on gateway channels it is not for; fail-open on
unknown platform; teams-meeting-pipeline gated to [teams, cron]
- blocked-page-recovery: research -> new web category; trigger-first
description ('Use when a fetch fails: 403/429, paywall, WAF, bot
wall.') so the model actually reaches for it on blocked fetches
- docs regenerated via generate-skill-docs.py (195 pages); related_skills
swept repo-wide; tests: 1672 passed (2 openclaw failures pre-existing
on clean main, Windows-local)
* chore: ignore .skills_prompt_snapshot.json (local index cache, accidentally committed)

AgentMail Skill
AgentMail gives an agent its own email inbox for sending mail, receiving replies, completing email OTP flows, and running inbound email loops. Use it for agent-owned inboxes, not a user's existing IMAP/SMTP mailbox.
Use the agentmail CLI first. Use MCP only when the harness expects MCP tools;
use REST only when the CLI is missing a required operation.
When to Use
- The agent needs an email address it owns.
- The task involves email OTP flows, replies, threads, labels, or attachments.
- The agent needs webhook or WebSocket delivery for inbound mail.
Prerequisites
- Run commands through the
terminaltool. - Install the CLI:
npm install -g agentmail-cli@latest
- Export an API key:
export AGENTMAIL_API_KEY="am_..."
No API key yet? Use signup.md.
How to Run
Use --format json whenever another command or script needs IDs.
agentmail inboxes list --format json
Quick Reference
- AgentMail agent reference: hosted copy.
- AgentMail: product landing page.
- Console: API keys and account management.
- Docs: full product documentation.
- signup.md: self-signup and OTP verification.
- core.md: inboxes, messages, threads, labels, attachments.
- webhooks.md: events to a public HTTPS server.
- websockets.md: events to a local agent process.
- mcp.md: MCP integration.
Procedure
- Install
agentmail-cli@latestand verifyagentmail inboxes list --format json. - If no API key is available, complete signup.md.
- Use core.md for inbox, send, read, reply, forward, label, thread, and attachment flows.
- Add webhooks.md or websockets.md only when polling is not enough.
Pitfalls
- Prefer
AGENTMAIL_API_KEYover--api-key. - Never expose
AGENTMAIL_API_KEYin prompts, logs, URLs, or committed files. - Use stable
client_idvalues for retried create operations. - Prefer
extracted_textorextracted_htmlfor LLM input when present. - React to
message.received, not messages the agent sent.
Verification
agentmail inboxes list --format json
