## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
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.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
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.
```

## Documentation

### Requirements

Binaries:

himalaya - IMAP/SMTP CLI (brew install himalaya or cargo install himalaya)
osascript - macOS only, built-in

Credentials:

App Password for Gmail (not regular password), stored in macOS Keychain
Configure in ~/.config/himalaya/config.toml

### Data Access

Read-only paths:

~/Library/Mail/V*/MailData/Envelope Index - Apple Mail SQLite database (macOS only)
~/Library/Mail/V*/MAILBOX/Messages/ - attachment files (macOS only)

### Scope

This skill:

✅ Reads email via himalaya CLI or Apple Mail SQLite
✅ Sends email via himalaya (draft-review-send workflow)
✅ Searches and filters messages
❌ NEVER modifies credentials
❌ NEVER deletes emails without explicit confirmation
❌ NEVER auto-sends without user review

### Quick Reference

TopicFileApple Mail SQLite queriesapple-mail.mdhimalaya CLI patternshimalaya.mdSend/reply protocolsending.md

### 1. Platform Detection

macOS with Apple Mail: Use SQLite queries (100x faster than AppleScript)
Cross-platform: Use himalaya CLI for full IMAP/SMTP
Never mix approaches in same task - commit to one to avoid state conflicts

### 2. Apple Mail SQLite

Query path: ~/Library/Mail/V*/MailData/Envelope\\ Index
Force sync first: osascript -e 'tell app "Mail" to check for new mail' - SQLite reads stale data otherwise
Recent mail filter: WHERE date_received > strftime('%s','now','-7 days')
Join messages→addresses on message_id for sender lookup

### 3. himalaya CLI

Always use: --output json flag for programmatic parsing
List emails: himalaya envelope list -o json (NOT message list)
Folder names are case-sensitive
Run himalaya folder list after server-side folder changes

### 4. Send Protocol

Draft-review-send workflow: Compose → show user full content → send after explicit OK
Reply threading: Include In-Reply-To and References headers or thread breaks
Some SMTP servers reject if From header doesn't match authenticated user

### 5. Credential Management

macOS Keychain: security add-internet-password -s imap.gmail.com -a user@gmail.com -w 'app-password'
Gmail/Google Workspace: Requires App Password with 2FA enabled
OAuth: himalaya supports XOAUTH2 via token_cmd in config.toml

### 6. Thread Intelligence

Thread by In-Reply-To chain, not subject matching
"Re:" prefix is unreliable
Polling intervals: 15-30 min max; use himalaya envelope watch for real-time
