Email skill (himalaya across seven accounts)

Lets the AI read, search, file and send email across all of James's inboxes from the terminal.

built Aug 2026 updated Sep 2026 A second brain the AI can read

how it works

himalaya v2 CLI with XOAUTH2 via Workspace service accounts and Keychain app passwords; documents v1-vs-v2 command drift and oldest-mail recipes; triage.py/read-clean.py helpers.

AI skill: Instructions an AI agent loads when a task calls for them, like a recipe card.

The code for this one lives in a private repo. This page explains the idea so you can build your own.
