Security analysis

The skill only automates browser interactions with Gmail, no execution of arbitrary commands or access to sensitive system resources, no data exfiltration beyond sending automated replies. Sending emails could be misused for spam but that is not a technical security vulnerability.

Prerequisites

Chrome browser installed

Instructions

Open Chrome and navigate to mail.google.com
Wait for the inbox to fully load - confirm by looking for:
- The red Compose button on the left sidebar
- The inbox email list in the main area
- Your profile picture in the top right
Click the search bar at the top of the page and type:
```
is:unread from:support
```
Then press Enter to search
Check if there are any results:
- If "No messages matched your search" appears, report that there are no unread support emails and stop
- If emails appear, continue to step 5
For each unread email in the search results:

a. Click on the email row to open the email thread

b. Read the email content to understand the inquiry

c. Click the Reply button (curved arrow icon) or press 'R'

d. In the reply compose area, type an appropriate acknowledgment:
```
Thank you for reaching out. We have received your message and
will get back to you within 24-48 hours.

Best regards
```
e. Click the Send button (blue button with paper airplane icon)

f. Wait for the "Message sent" confirmation to appear

g. Click the back arrow or press 'U' to return to the search results
After processing all emails, report how many emails were replied to

Error Handling

If Gmail asks for re-authentication, stop and inform the user
If an email thread is too complex (multiple participants), skip it and note it for manual review
If the Send button is disabled, check if there's a recipient error

Notes

This skill sends the same acknowledgment to all support emails
For customized replies based on email content, consider using the gmail-smart-reply skill instead

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/gmail-auto-reply-mmbizkjn/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/gmail-auto-reply-mmbizkjn' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/gmail-auto-reply-mmbizkjn/download' --output '.skill-downloads/gmail-auto-reply-mmbizkjn/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/gmail-auto-reply-mmbizkjn/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/gmail-auto-reply-mmbizkjn/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

Original excerpt: Prerequisites

Chrome browser installed
Logged into Gmail

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

This file does not provide a usable name/description header for this native procedure. It remains available to download and inspect; use the manual method below.

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/gmail-auto-reply-mmbizkjn/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
