What are the prerequisites for using this skill?

This skill requires the GWS (Google Workspace) CLI tool and the 'gws-gmail' skill to be loaded within your Claude Code environment.

Can I apply multiple labels at once?

The recipe is designed to apply a specific label and remove the INBOX label, but the underlying GWS command can be adapted to add multiple Label IDs in the request body.

Does this skill delete my emails?

No, it archives them. Archiving in Gmail simply removes the 'INBOX' label so the message is moved out of your primary view while remaining searchable and stored.

Is this compatible with personal Gmail accounts?

Yes, as long as you have the GWS CLI configured with the appropriate OAuth credentials for your Gmail account.

Can I target specific senders for labeling?

Yes, you can customize the search query parameter (e.g., 'from:notifications@service.com') to target any specific sender or keyword.
