Zele

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: ai-tooling  ·  Last updated:
zele is a multi-account email and calendar CLI for Gmail, IMAP/SMTP (Fastmail, Outlook, any provider), and Google Calendar. It reads, searches, sends, replies, forwards, archives, stars, and trashes emails, manages drafts, labels, attachments, and Gmail filters, and creates, updates, and deletes calendar events with RSVP and free/busy support. Output is YAML so commands can be piped through yq and xargs. ALWAYS load this skill when the user asks to check email, read/send messages, reply or forward, archive or trash threads, manage drafts or labels, download attachments, schedule meetings, check their calendar, RSVP to events, or when they run any `zele` command. Load it before writing any code or shell commands that touch zele so you know the correct subcommand structure, the Google vs IMAP feature matrix, the headless login flow, and the agent-specific rules.
