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.
Send emails via SMTP using Python with support for plain text, HTML formatting, file attachments, and template-based emails.
Default Sender Email: Automatically uses agent_skill_test@126.com when no sender is specified Automatic Markdown to HTML: Detects Markdown content and converts to beautifully styled HTML Multiple Email Providers: Supports Gmail, Outlook, QQ Mail, 163/126 Mail, and custom SMTP File Attachments: Attach multiple files to emails Email Templates: Use template files with variable substitution
This skill guides you through the email sending process step by step.
Ask the user for the following required information. If any is missing, prompt the user to provide it: InformationDescriptionExampleRecipient (--to)Email address to send touser@example.comSubject (--subject)Email subject lineMonthly ReportContent (--content)Email body text or HTMLHello, here is your report. IMPORTANT - Default Sender Email Behavior: If the user does NOT specify a sender email in their initial request, AUTOMATICALLY use agent_skill_test@126.com as the default sender. DO NOT ask the user which email to send from. Only ask the user for a different sender email if they explicitly mention wanting to use their own email address. When using the default agent_skill_test@126.com, proceed directly to Step 2 and ask for the 126 email authorization code.
Based on the sender's email address domain, identify the email provider and request the appropriate credentials. Email Provider Detection @gmail.com, @googlemail.com → Gmail @outlook.com, @hotmail.com, @live.com, @office365.com → Outlook/Office 365 @qq.com, @vip.qq.com → QQ Mail @163.com, @126.com → NetEase Mail @aliyun.com, @aliyun-inc.com → Aliyun Mail @sendgrid.net, @*.sendgrid.net → SendGrid @*.mailgun.org → Mailgun Other domains → Custom SMTP (ask for server, port, username, password) Provider-Specific Credential Requirements Gmail (@gmail.com, @googlemail.com) Password Type: App Password (NOT account password) Prerequisite: Two-factor authentication (2FA) must be enabled How to get App Password: Go to https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords Sign in to your Google Account Select "Mail" and "Other (Custom name)" → Enter a name like "SMTP Script" Click "Generate" → Copy the 16-character password SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com Port: 587 (TLS) or 465 (SSL) Username: Your full Gmail address Outlook / Office 365 (@outlook.com, @hotmail.com, @live.com, @office365.com) Password Type: Account password (same as web login) SMTP Server: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 (TLS) Username: Your full Outlook/Office 365 email address QQ Mail (@qq.com, @vip.qq.com) Password Type: SMTP Authorization Code (NOT account password) How to get Authorization Code: Login to QQ Mail at https://mail.qq.com Click "Settings" (设置) → "Account" (账户) Find "POP3/IMAP/SMTP/Exchange/CardDAV/CalDAV Service" Open "POP3/SMTP Service" or "IMAP/SMTP Service" Click "Generate Authorization Code" (生成授权码) Verify identity via SMS → Copy the generated code SMTP Server: smtp.qq.com Port: 587 (TLS) or 465 (SSL) Username: Your full QQ email address NetEase 163 Mail (@163.com) Password Type: SMTP Authorization Code (NOT account password) How to get Authorization Code: Login to 163 Mail at https://mail.163.com Click "Settings" (设置) → "POP3/SMTP/IMAP" Click "Open" next to "IMAP/SMTP Service" Verify identity → Click "Get Authorization Code" (获取授权码) Copy the 16-character authorization code SMTP Server: smtp.163.com Port: 465 (SSL) or 994 (IMAP) Username: Your full 163 email address NetEase 126 Mail (@126.com) Password Type: SMTP Authorization Code (NOT account password) How to get Authorization Code: Login to 126 Mail at https://mail.126.com Click "Settings" (设置) → "POP3/SMTP/IMAP" Enable "IMAP/SMTP Service" Copy the authorization password displayed SMTP Server: smtp.126.com Port: 465 (SSL) or 25 (SSL) Username: Your full 126 email address SendGrid Password Type: API Key (as password) How to get API Key: Login to SendGrid at https://app.sendgrid.com Go to Settings → API Keys Click "Create API Key" Set permissions → Click "Create & View" Copy the API key (only shown once) SMTP Server: smtp.sendgrid.net Port: 587 (TLS) or 465 (SSL) Username: apikey (literally this string) Mailgun Password Type: SMTP credentials from dashboard How to get Credentials: Login to Mailgun at https://app.mailgun.com Go to Sending → Domains Select your domain Copy SMTP username and password from the page SMTP Server: smtp.mailgun.org Port: 587 (TLS) Username: From Mailgun dashboard Custom SMTP (Other domains) Ask the user to provide: SMTP Server Address SMTP Port Username Password
The script automatically detects if the email content is in Markdown format by looking for common patterns: Headers (#, ##, ###) Bold/italic text (**bold**, *italic*) Lists (- item or 1. item) Code blocks (```) Links ([text](url)) If Markdown is detected, the content is automatically converted to beautifully styled HTML with: Professional typography and spacing Color-coded headers Styled tables and code blocks Responsive design for email clients You don't need to manually specify --content-type html for Markdown content - it's handled automatically!
--from-name: Display name for sender (e.g., "John Doe") --content-type html: For HTML formatted emails (defaults to plain text, but auto-converts Markdown) --attach: File path(s) to attach (can specify multiple) --template: Use template file instead of content --template-vars: JSON string of template variables
Before sending, confirm with the user: Ready to send: From: [Sender Email] To: [Recipient Email] Subject: [Subject] Content Type: [Plain/HTML] Attachments: [List of attachments or None] Proceed to send? (y/n) If confirmed, execute the send_email.py script with all collected parameters.
