Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/latisen/apple-mail-moltbot-skillWhat This Skill Does
The Apple Mail Moltbot Skill provides a robust interface for interacting with Apple Mail on macOS directly from the OpenClaw AI agent environment. By leveraging AppleScript (via osascript), this skill grants your AI agent the ability to navigate your personal or professional inbox with ease. It supports account enumeration, mailbox browsing, message retrieval, and the extraction of full message content. Whether you need to organize your workflow or retrieve information from past emails, this tool acts as a bridge between your agent's reasoning capabilities and your local communication data.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw hub command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/latisen/apple-mail-moltbot-skill. Ensure that your macOS system has Apple Mail installed and configured with at least one active account. The skill requires the Mail app to be running in the background to execute AppleScript commands effectively.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for professionals looking to automate email triage. You can use it to scan for specific subject lines across various mailboxes, aggregate information from incoming project updates, or draft summaries of unread messages. It is particularly powerful for users who maintain a "keyboard-first" workflow and wish to stay within their AI agent interface rather than switching to the GUI mail client for repetitive search tasks.
Example Prompts
- "Check my iCloud INBOX for any emails from my manager regarding the project update and summarize the content of the most recent one."
- "List all the mailboxes available in my Work account, then fetch the 5 most recent messages from the 'Urgent' folder."
- "Find the email with the subject 'Invoice #402' in my Gmail account and extract the amount due."
Tips & Limitations
This skill is strictly limited to macOS environments where Apple Mail is the primary client. Because it relies on osascript to communicate with the application, performance may vary depending on the total number of messages in a mailbox. We recommend using the --limit flag to keep retrieval times fast. Note that this skill does not support moving, deleting, or composing new emails at this time; it is focused primarily on read-only interaction for analysis and retrieval purposes. Always ensure you have the necessary permissions enabled for your terminal or AI environment to control Apple Mail via Accessibility APIs.
