Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: 127.0.0.1.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned tiangong-ai/skills at 5e69246170.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to retrieve emails directly from IMAP servers, allowing them to read message bodies and access attachments without manual intervention. It bridges the gap between email infrastructure and automated decision-making workflows.

When to use it

  • Automating daily inbox triage by summarizing incoming correspondence.
  • Triggering alerts when specific keywords appear in high-priority threads.
  • Extracting data from invoices or receipts attached to emails for processing.
  • Archiving important communications into structured databases or knowledge bases.

Key capabilities

  • Connects securely to standard IMAP server configurations.
  • Fetches email metadata including sender, subject, and date.
  • Retrieves full message content and binary attachments.
  • Supports filtering based on folders, dates, or search criteria.

Example prompts

  • "Fetch all unread emails from my boss this week and summarize their key points."
  • "Download any PDF invoices attached to emails received yesterday and list the amounts."
  • "Check my 'Projects' folder for updates on the Q3 roadmap and report back."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has valid IMAP credentials (username, password, and server address) configured before execution. Some corporate email systems require SSL/TLS encryption or specific port settings that must be explicitly defined in the connection parameters.
