Description
gws-gmail-reply is an agent skill from the Google Workspace CLI project, listed on skills.sh. It replies to a Gmail message and handles the threading itself, setting the In-Reply-To, References and threadId headers so the reply stays in the same conversation. It quotes the original message in the reply and manages the recipients. The reply body can be plain text or HTML, and optional file attachments can be included. The message is identified with --message-id, and the reply text is given with --body. Sending a reply is an action that goes to other people, so it should be checked before it is sent. The skill relies on the shared gws authentication and security rules, which the agent reads first, and it can generate them if they are missing. It suits people who want an agent to answer a message quickly and keep the conversation intact, under the account they have authorised.…
