Can I filter which attachments are saved?

Yes, the skill utilizes Gmail's search query parameters, allowing you to filter by sender, file name, date, or specific keywords.

Is the file transfer secure?

The skill operates through the Google Workspace CLI (gws), which uses your own authenticated Google account credentials to perform actions.

Does this work with multiple attachments in one email?

The recipe provides the steps to identify and retrieve specific attachment IDs, which can be iterated upon to save multiple files from a single message.

What prerequisites are needed for this skill?

You must have the 'gws' CLI installed and the 'gws-gmail' and 'gws-drive' Claude Code skills loaded.
