✓
Purpose & Capability
The name and description match the instructions: the skill requires the 'gog' binary and tells the agent to run 'gog gmail messages get <messageId> --json' to retrieve an email. Requiring 'gog' is expected for this purpose.
✓
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs a single explicit CLI command to get a message and expects JSON output. It does not ask to read unrelated files, environment variables, or transmit results to other endpoints.
✓
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only), so nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself. This is the lowest-risk install posture.
ℹ
Credentials
The skill declares no env vars, which is proportionate, but it implicitly relies on the 'gog' CLI's existing authentication (local credentials/tokens). Installing or running the skill will let the 'gog' process access whatever Gmail account credentials are already configured on the host.
✓
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not request persistent presence or modification of other skills or system settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default (platform behavior) but is not a unique privilege of this skill.
Assessment
This skill simply runs your existing 'gog' CLI to fetch a single Gmail message. Before installing, confirm that 'gog' is the legitimate CLI you expect and that it's authenticated only to accounts you trust. The skill itself does not request credentials, but it will use whatever Gmail access 'gog' already has on the machine — so be mindful that retrieved emails are accessible to the agent and could be forwarded by the agent if policies allow. If you don't already have or trust 'gog' installed, do not enable this skill.

Like a lobster shell, security has layers — review code before you run it.

Lean Philosophy (Principles)

  • Kaizen (改善): This skill is an atomic node, broken down into its simplest, smallest component to eliminate waste and ensure perfection.
  • Standardized Work (Hyojun Sagyo): This node represents the most efficient, standardized path for this specific task before automation.
  • Jidoka (自働化): This node includes autonomous defect detection. It relies on the CLI's self-healing loop and will report errors if retrieval fails.
