The Gmail Checker skill transforms your cluttered inbox into a prioritized, actionable digest. It programmatically fetches unread messages from the last 24 hours (or a custom duration) and uses a multi-tier filtering logic to surface only what matters. It automatically strips away the noise from social media, promotions, and automated updates, leaving you with genuine personal and high-priority correspondence.
Why use this skill
Standard email prompts often result in the AI reading back every automated notification in your inbox. This skill is better because it uses logic-based prioritization. By leveraging a configurable JSON system, it categorizes mail into HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW priority tiers based on domains and keywords you define. It provides a clean, structured output that prevents "LLM context bloat" by ignoring low-value categories like forums and marketing.
Supported tools
- Google Gmail API
- Python 3.x integration
- Compatible with Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenClaw
- Support for headless server environments and local developer machines
Output format
The skill produces a beautifully formatted summary for human reading or a structured JSON object for agent-to-agent workflows. It highlights the sender, subject line, and priority level, ensuring you never miss a critical security alert or personal message again.
Use cases
- Filter out promotional noise to focus on personal unread messages
- Identify high-priority security or billing alerts via keyword matching
- Generate a structured daily summary of your inbox for quick review
- Integrate email monitoring into your agent's morning routine scripts
