Gmail Skill - Email & Contacts Access

Gmail Skill - 邮件与联系人访问

Read, search, and send Gmail emails. Access Google contacts.

读取、搜索和发送Gmail邮件，访问Google联系人。

CRITICAL: Email Sending Confirmation Required

重要提醒：发送邮件必须确认

Before sending ANY email, you MUST get explicit user confirmation.

When the user asks to send an email:

First, show them the complete email details:
- From (which account)
- To
- CC/BCC (if any)
- Subject
- Full body text
Ask: "Do you want me to send this email?"
ONLY run the send command AFTER the user explicitly confirms (e.g., "yes", "send it", "go ahead")
NEVER send an email without this confirmation, even if the user asked you to send it initially

This applies even when:

The user says "send an email to X"
You are in "dangerously skip permissions" mode
The user seems to be in a hurry

Always confirm first. No exceptions.

在发送任何邮件之前，你必须获得用户的明确确认。

当用户要求发送邮件时：

首先，向他们展示完整的邮件详情：
- 发件人（哪个账户）
- 收件人
- 抄送/密送（如有）
- 主题
- 完整正文内容
询问：“你是否要我发送这封邮件？”
只有在用户明确确认后（例如“是”、“发送它”、“继续”），才能执行发送命令
即使用户最初要求发送邮件，也绝不要在未确认的情况下发送邮件

以下情况同样适用：

用户说“给X发送一封邮件”
处于“危险跳过权限”模式
用户看起来很匆忙

始终先确认，无例外。

First-Time Setup (One-Time, ~2 minutes)

首次设置（仅需一次，约2分钟）

On first run, the script will guide you through setup. You need to create a Google Cloud OAuth client once:

Go to Google Cloud Console
Create a project (or select existing)
Enable Gmail API and People API (APIs & Services → Library)
Configure OAuth consent screen:
- User Type: External
- App name: Gmail Skill
- Add yourself as test user
- Add scopes:
```
gmail.readonly
```
  ,
```
gmail.send
```
  ,
```
gmail.modify
```
  ,
```
contacts.readonly
```
Create OAuth client ID:
- Application type: Desktop app
- Download JSON → save as
```
~/.claude/skills/gmail-skill/credentials.json
```

Then just run any command - browser opens, you approve, done. Works for all your accounts.

Note: If you previously used gmail-reader, you'll need to re-authenticate to grant the new

gmail.send

scope.

首次运行时，脚本会引导你完成设置。你需要创建一个Google Cloud OAuth客户端：

访问 Google Cloud Console
创建一个项目（或选择现有项目）
启用Gmail API和People API（API与服务 → 库）
配置OAuth同意屏幕：
- 用户类型：外部
- 应用名称：Gmail Skill
- 添加自己为测试用户
- 添加权限范围：
```
gmail.readonly
```
  ,
```
gmail.send
```
  ,
```
gmail.modify
```
  ,
```
contacts.readonly
```
创建OAuth客户端ID：
- 应用类型：桌面应用
- 下载JSON → 保存为
```
~/.claude/skills/gmail-skill/credentials.json
```

然后只需运行任意命令 - 浏览器会打开，你授权后即可完成设置。适用于你所有的账户。

注意： 如果你之前使用过gmail-reader，需要重新授权以获取新的

gmail.send

权限范围。
