Is there a risk of sending emails accidentally?

No, the skill is programmed with a constraint that forces it to use the AskUserQuestion tool to confirm the recipient, subject, and body with you before sending.

Does this work with third-party email clients like Outlook?

Currently, this skill is specifically designed to interface with the native macOS Mail app using the imail.sh script.

What are the system requirements for this skill?

This skill requires a macOS environment and specific Accessibility permissions granted to the Terminal to interact with the native Mail application.

How do I trigger the email skill?

You can simply ask Claude to 'send an email to [recipient]' or 'email the team the status report,' and it will utilize the skill to draft the message.
