```

Read the email from [sender] about [topic] and draft a short reply in the same language.
```

## Limitations

- Requires configured Gmail MCP tools for reading or sending messages.
- Does not send messages without explicit confirmation from the user.
- Does not verify attachment contents beyond the available tool context.
- Account selection can be ambiguous when the user has multiple Gmail accounts.

## Best Practices

- Review every draft carefully before approving the send action.
- Specify the intended Gmail account when more than one account is connected.
- Provide the desired tone, recipient, and key points for new messages.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not ask the assistant to send an email without reviewing the draft.
- Do not rely on the skill for legal, medical, or financial advice in email content.
- Do not include secrets or passwords in email drafts or prompts.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-09T01:26:12.019\+00:00
- Summary: Most static findings are false positives caused by markdown code fences and inline backticks in SKILL.md. The audit confirms a sensitive-data issue because the skill discloses 1Password item-name conventions and specific Gmail account identifiers.
