Add this skill
Copy this prompt into your AI tool to install this skill
Install the "Gmail" skill. Download https://skillsandagents.co/skills/gws-gmail/gws-gmail.zip. Unzip it outside the project. The zip holds one folder, gws-gmail/.
Copy that folder into the skills folder for your own tool:
- Claude Code: .claude/skills/
- Cursor: .cursor/skills/
- GitHub Copilot: .github/skills/
- Codex: .agents/skills/
Use the line that matches your tool. Install it in the current project, unless I ask for a global install.
If gws-gmail/ is already in that skills folder, ask me before you replace it.
Then check that gws-gmail/SKILL.md is in place, and delete the zip. If your tool needs a reload to see new skills, tell me to reload.Not sure which? See the install guide.
