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.
Use when the user wants to read, search, or organise their email inbox, read message content, manage folders, archive messages, or draft a reply or new message — all from the terminal via IMAP. Works with Gmail, Fastmail, Outlook, and any IMAP provider. If sending is not explicitly enabled or approved by the user, always save outgoing messages as a draft instead of sending.
Install neomutt and w3m (HTML email renderer): # macOS brew install neomutt w3m # Ubuntu / Debian sudo apt install neomutt w3m
Create ~/.config/neomutt/neomuttrc (or ~/.neomuttrc): set imap_user = "user@gmail.com" set imap_pass = "*****" set folder = "imaps://imap.gmail.com:993" set spoolfile = "+INBOX" set ssl_force_tls = yes set imap_keepalive = 300 set mail_check = 60 set postponed = "+[Gmail]/Drafts" set sort = reverse-date # HTML handling auto_view text/html alternative_order text/plain text/html For other providers change imap.gmail.com:993 and [Gmail]/Drafts to match your server. For Gmail, imap_pass should be an App Password (Google Account → Security → 2-Step Verification → App Passwords). Create ~/.config/neomutt/mailcap so w3m renders HTML parts: text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -T text/html; copiousoutput;
neomutt Opens the inbox. To open a specific folder directly: neomutt -f imaps://imap.gmail.com/INBOX neomutt -f imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/All%20Mail # Gmail — All Mail neomutt -f imaps://imap.fastmail.com/INBOX # Fastmail example

Move the message out of INBOX into your archive folder: s → type folder name → Enter On Gmail the archive folder is [Gmail]/All Mail. Add a macro for one-key archiving: macro index A "<save-message>=[Gmail]/All Mail<enter><enter>" "Archive"
Folders in IMAP, labels in Gmail — same thing. Move or copy a message: C → type folder name → Enter # Copy (message stays in current folder too) s → type folder name → Enter # Move (removes from current folder)
