Aberer Mail Skill

Use this skill whenever you need to read or send email from raphael@aberer.ch. All credentials live in 1Password (item name "Aberer Mail") and must be retrieved at runtime—never hardcode passwords or copy them into logs.

Mail servers

Credentials via 1Password

Assumes you already signed in with op signin inside tmux (see skills/1password). Fetch credentials as needed:

op item get "Aberer Mail" --fields label=IMAP_USERNAME
op item get "Aberer Mail" --fields label=IMAP_PASSWORD
op item get "Aberer Mail" --fields label=SMTP_USERNAME
op item get "Aberer Mail" --fields label=SMTP_PASSWORD

For one-shot scripts, prefer op run -- item get … to inject env vars:

op run --env-file skills/email-aberer/.env.example -- python3 skills/email-aberer/scripts/email_send.py \
  --to someone@example.com --subject "Test" --body "Hello"

(See .env.example for the required variable names.)

Scripts

The folder skills/email-aberer/scripts/ contains two helpers:

1. •email_fetch.py – List messages (default: last 10, unread only) and optionally dump full MIME to disk.
2. •email_send.py – Compose and send a plaintext or HTML email.

Both scripts read credentials from environment variables so they can be wrapped with op run:

IMAP_HOST=imap.aberer.ch
IMAP_USER=raphael@aberer.ch
IMAP_PASS=<from 1Password>
SMTP_HOST=smtp.swizzonic.email
SMTP_PORT=587
SMTP_USER=raphael@aberer.ch
SMTP_PASS=<from 1Password>

Fetch example

op run --env-file skills/email-aberer/env-imap.env -- \
python3 skills/email-aberer/scripts/email_fetch.py \
  --limit 5 --unread --save-links medium-link.txt

Outputs JSON describing each message (from, subject, date, snippet) and saves the raw payload when --save is passed—handy for grabbing Medium "magic link" emails.

Send example

op run --env-file skills/email-aberer/env-smtp.env -- \
python3 skills/email-aberer/scripts/email_send.py \
  --to raphael@aberer.ch --subject "Bridge test" --body "Hello from OpenClaw"

The script supports --html-body file.html for HTML content.

Integrating with agents

1. •daily-ai-feed: use email_fetch.py with --search "from:Medium" to capture magic-link logins, then call the URL using requests.
2. •Manual ops: run email_send.py when you need to acknowledge alerts or send digests manually.
3. •For persistent workflows, wrap the scripts with OpenClaw skills YAML (e.g., skills/email-aberer/send.yml) so other agents can call them deterministically.

Troubleshooting

Next steps

• •Add YAML wrappers (send/read) once scripts are validated.
• •Hook into telegram digest pipeline so daily-ai-feed can email or notify when needed.
