• •After completing a long-running task where the user requested to be notified

To send a notification email after completing a task:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/sendmail/scripts/send_email.py \
  --subject "Task Complete" \
  --body "Your task has been completed successfully."

Parameters

• •--to: Recipient email address (optional if configured in .credentials.json)
• •--subject: Email subject line
• •--body: Email body text
• •--body-file: Alternative to --body, read body from a file
• •--html: Send as HTML email (optional)

Example Notification

When a task completes, send a summary:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/sendmail/scripts/send_email.py \
  --subject "Claude Code: Task Completed" \
  --body "Task: <describe what was done>

Status: Completed successfully

Summary:
- <key point 1>
- <key point 2>
- <any relevant details>"

Configuration

SMTP credentials and default recipient are stored in ~/.claude/.credentials.json under the smtp key:

{
  "smtp": {
    "host": "smtp.example.com",
    "port": 587,
    "user": "your-email@example.com",
    "password": "your-app-password",
    "to": "recipient@example.com"
  }
}

The to field sets the default recipient. Command-line --to overrides this value.
