Examples

gws gmail +send --to [email protected] --subject 'Hello' --body 'Hi Alice!'
gws gmail +send --to [email protected] --subject 'Hello' --body 'Hi!' --cc [email protected]
gws gmail +send --to [email protected] --subject 'Hello' --body '<b>Bold</b> text' --html
gws gmail +send --to [email protected] --subject 'Hello' --body 'Hi!' --from [email protected]
gws gmail +send --to [email protected] --subject 'Report' --body 'See attached' -a report.pdf
gws gmail +send --to [email protected] --subject 'Files' --body 'Two files' -a a.pdf -a b.csv
gws gmail +send --to [email protected] --subject 'Hello' --body 'Hi!' --draft

Tips

  • Handles RFC 5322 formatting, MIME encoding, and base64 automatically.
  • Use --from to send from a configured send-as alias instead of your primary address.
  • Use -a/--attach to add file attachments. Can be specified multiple times. Total size limit: 25MB.
  • With --html, use fragment tags (<p>, <b>, <a>, <br>, etc.) — no <html>/<body> wrapper needed.
  • Use --draft to save the message as a draft instead of sending it immediately.

> [!CAUTION]

> This is a write command — confirm with the user before executing.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take googleworkspace/gws-gmail-send from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
