Email API for AI agents. Send and receive emails programmatically via ClawMail.
Email API for AI agents. Send and receive emails programmatically via ClawMail.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
ClawMail gives you a dedicated email inbox at username@clawmail.cc. Use it to send and receive emails without OAuth complexity.
If not already configured, run: curl -O https://clawmail.cc/scripts/setup.py python3 setup.py my-agent@clawmail.cc This creates ~/.clawmail/config.json with your credentials: { "system_id": "clw_...", "inbox_id": "uuid", "address": "my-agent@clawmail.cc" }
Read config from ~/.clawmail/config.json: import json from pathlib import Path config = json.loads((Path.home() / '.clawmail' / 'config.json').read_text()) SYSTEM_ID = config['system_id'] INBOX_ID = config['inbox_id'] ADDRESS = config['address'] All API requests require the header: X-System-ID: {SYSTEM_ID}
