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. 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. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Route email from custom domains to accessible inboxes. Essential for account recovery when the original email is on a domain you own but don't actively host email for.
Account recovery: target platform sent codes to user@yourdomain.com but email hosting is inactive Catch-all: forward ALL email for a domain to one inbox Cost savings: route domain email to Gmail without paying for email hosting Temporary: just need to receive one verification code, then revert

Log into GoDaddy → productivity.godaddy.com Go to Admin → Email Forwarding (sidebar) Find domain section → click edit (pencil icon) on existing rule Change "Forward mail to" → your Gmail/accessible email Click Save CRITICAL: Click "Forwarding Status" button → select domain → verify toggle is ON
Log into GoDaddy → account.godaddy.com/products Find domain → Manage DNS GoDaddy may offer free email forwarding without a full email plan Go to Email Forwarding section → Add rule
The per-user forwarding dialog (Manage → Forwarding) often gets stuck in a loading spinner. Use the admin-level forwarding page instead (/#/admin/email/forwarding) Forwarding Status must be ON for external addresses — this is a separate toggle, not automatic Changes take effect within 1-5 minutes (no DNS propagation needed since email account exists)
Best option if your domain's DNS is already on Cloudflare.
Cloudflare dashboard → select domain → Email Routing Click Enable Email Routing Cloudflare will add required MX and TXT records automatically Create routing rule: Custom address: user@yourdomain.com Forward to: your@gmail.com Cloudflare sends a verification email to the destination — click the link Rule is active
Enable "Catch-all" to forward ALL addresses at the domain to one inbox Useful when you don't know the exact address that'll receive the code
Requires DNS to be on Cloudflare (nameservers) Destination email must be verified (click link in verification email) If MX records conflict with existing email hosting, Cloudflare will warn
Log into Namecheap → Domain List → select domain Click "Email Forwarding" tab (or Manage → Mail Settings) Select "Email Forwarding" from dropdown Add rule: user → destination@gmail.com Save
Namecheap free forwarding handles up to 100 forwards MX records are auto-configured when you select Email Forwarding
Works with any domain registrar. Free tier: 25 forwards/day.
Go to improvmx.com → enter your domain Add forwarding alias: user@yourdomain.com → destination@gmail.com ImprovMX provides MX records to add at your registrar: MX mx1.improvmx.com (priority 10) MX mx2.improvmx.com (priority 20) Add MX records at your registrar's DNS settings Wait for DNS propagation (5 min - 48 hours, usually fast)
Free tier: 25 emails/day, no sending (receive-only) DNS propagation can delay first email by minutes to hours Remove old MX records that conflict
After setting up forwarding, always verify before relying on it: Send a test email from another account to user@yourdomain.com Check destination inbox (and spam folder) If test arrives → forwarding works → proceed with account recovery If test doesn't arrive after 5 min: Check Forwarding Status toggle (GoDaddy) Check MX records are correct (dig MX yourdomain.com) Check spam/junk folder at destination Wait for DNS propagation if MX records were just changed
After recovering the target account: Update the account's email to your primary email (Gmail) so you don't need forwarding again Decide on forwarding: Keep it (useful for future emails to that domain) or revert to original settings Document the account's email and login method for future reference
