Ingest Gmail

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
Pulls recent Gmail messages matching a label or query into the vault as queryable markdown. Use when the user says /ingest-gmail <label-or-query> [--days N], or asks to ingest, capture, sync, or pull a Gmail label or query into the vault. Writes one file per scope per day to External Inputs/Gmail/<label>/<date>.md. Truncates each message body to 500 chars to limit bulk PII. Idempotent: re-running on the same day overwrites cleanly. Do NOT use for sending email, replying, or non-Gmail sources.

From the source SKILL.md

Ingests recent Gmail messages (matching a label or a free-text Gmail query) into the vault as markdown the graphify pipeline can read and the rest of the AI Brain Starter substrate (decision log, session-close cascade, hooks) can act on.
