How do I authenticate my Gmail account for this skill?

Authentication is handled via OAuth2. You can run 'gws auth login' to open a browser for consent and 'gws auth status' to verify your connection.

Is this an official Google plugin?

No, this skill utilizes the gws CLI, which is an independent, unofficial open-source project not endorsed by or affiliated with Google.

What output formats are available for automation?

The skill defaults to structured JSON, making it easy for AI agents or scripts to parse, but it also supports YAML and human-readable text formats.

Can I read entire conversations or just single messages?

Both. Use 'gws gmail read' for specific messages and 'gws gmail thread' to view the entire conversation history including headers and labels.

Does the skill support standard Gmail search operators?

Yes, you can use standard operators such as 'is:unread', 'from:', 'has:attachment', and 'label:' within the query flag of the list command.
