gmail-draftlisted

Prepare Gmail messages without sending them: create, update, list, send, and delete drafts, with attachments. Use when the user asks to draft, prepare, or write up an email, to save something for later, to revise a draft, or to send one they already approved. Prefer this over sending directly whenever the exact wording has not been agreed yet: a draft is reviewable in Gmail and costs nothing to throw away.

# gmail-draft ```bash gmail draft create --to <addr> --subject <s> --body-file <file> [--cc][--bcc][--attach] gmail draft update --draft-id <id> --to <addr> --subject <s> --body-file <file> gmail draft list [--query "<gmail query>"] [--max 25] gmail draft send --draft-id <id> gmail draft delete --draft-id <id> ``` `--json` gives the Envelope on any of them. ## When to draft instead of send Draft by default. Send directly only when the user has seen the words and said to send them. Drafting is the whole reason this is a separate skill from `gmail-send`: it turns an irreversible action into a reviewable one, and the user can finish it in Gmail on their phone. Reach for a draft when the user says "write", "draft", "prepare", "put together", "start an email"; when the message matters and they have not read it yet; or when you are composing on their behalf from your own understanding of a thread. ## Writing the body Put the body in a file and pass `--body-file`. `--body` exists for one-liners, but shell quoting mangles anything with newlines, quotes, or a dollar sign, and you will not notice until it is sent. ```bash cat > /tmp/reply.txt <<'EOF' Hi Ada, Tuesday at 10 works. I will send an agenda beforehand. Hector EOF gmail draft create --to ada@example.com --subject "Re: Tuesday" --body-file /tmp/reply.txt ``` Write in the user's voice, not yours. If you have their previous mail in context, match its register: how they open, how they sign off, how long their sentences
