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.
You can send and receive email as REPLACE_WITH_IDENTITY@agentmail.to using two Python scripts. The scripts live in this skill folder and are deployed to ~/.openclaw/workspace/agentmail/. The scripts contain placeholders which need to be replaced with real-life value: REPLACE_WITH_IDENTITY REPLACE_WITH_THE_HUMANS_EMAIL_ADDRESS
Copy the scripts and create the venv in the workspace: DEST=~/.openclaw/workspace/agentmail SKILL_DIR="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")" # if running from a script # or just point SKILL_DIR to this skill folder mkdir -p "$DEST" cp "$SKILL_DIR/check_mail.py" "$SKILL_DIR/send_email.py" "$DEST/" cd "$DEST" # Create venv (prefer uv, fall back to python) if command -v uv &>/dev/null; then uv venv venv uv pip install --python venv/bin/python agentmail python-dotenv else python3 -m venv venv venv/bin/pip install agentmail python-dotenv fi
cat > ~/.openclaw/workspace/agentmail/.env << 'EOF' AGENTMAIL_API_KEY=am_us_..... EOF This is only necessary if you don't have the environment variable in your running environment or if you can't read it from your openclaw.json config file.
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/agentmail source venv/bin/activate python check_mail.py # should print "No new mail." on a fresh inbox
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/agentmail source venv/bin/activate python check_mail.py This downloads all unread messages as JSON files into the workspace directory and marks them as read. Running it again only fetches new mail.
Each message is saved as MAIL.<YYYYMMDDTHHmmss>.<NNN> โ timestamp from the message, 3-digit sequence number within the batch. Example: MAIL.20260226T134244.001 The JSON inside contains: { "message_id": "<...>", "thread_id": "...", "timestamp": "2026-02-26 13:42:44+00:00", "from": "Sender Name <sender@example.com>", "to": ["REPLACE_WITH_IDENTITY@agentmail.to"], "cc": null, "subject": "Re: Hello", "text": "Plain-text body...", "html": "<p>HTML body...</p>", "labels": ["received", "unread"], "in_reply_to": "<original-message-id>", "attachments": [] }
# List all mail files (oldest first) ls -1 MAIL.* 2>/dev/null | sort # Read one cat MAIL.20260226T134244.001 # Extract just the text body python -c "import json,sys; print(json.load(open(sys.argv[1]))['text'])" MAIL.20260226T134244.001

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/agentmail source venv/bin/activate python send_email.py send_email.py is a template with hardcoded recipient/subject/body. For real use, modify its parameters or write a one-off script using the same pattern: import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from agentmail import AgentMail load_dotenv() client = AgentMail(api_key=os.getenv("AGENTMAIL_API_KEY")) client.inboxes.messages.send( inbox_id="REPLACE_WITH_IDENTITY@agentmail.to", to="recipient@example.com", subject="Subject line", text="Plain-text body.", )
ParameterRequiredDescriptioninbox_idyesAlways "REPLACE_WITH_IDENTITY@agentmail.to"toyesRecipient email addresssubjectnoSubject linetextnoPlain-text bodyhtmlnoHTML bodyccnoCC addressesbccnoBCC addresses
To reply in the same thread, use reply() with the message_id from a downloaded MAIL.* file: import json, os from dotenv import load_dotenv from agentmail import AgentMail load_dotenv() client = AgentMail(api_key=os.getenv("AGENTMAIL_API_KEY")) # Load the message you want to reply to with open("MAIL.20260226T134244.001") as f: msg = json.load(f) client.inboxes.messages.reply( inbox_id="REPLACE_WITH_IDENTITY@agentmail.to", message_id=msg["message_id"], text="This is my reply.", ) This preserves threading โ the reply appears in the same conversation as the original.
Check mail: python check_mail.py Read: inspect the MAIL.* files that were created Process: act on the content of each message Reply if needed: use the reply() pattern from section 4 Clean up: rm MAIL.* when done processing Repeat: run check_mail.py again later for new messages
