# Automate Disposable Email Workflows

Agents often need a temporary inbox to receive verification messages without manual browser work. This skill guides Claude, Codex, and Claude Code through the agent-email CLI to create inboxes, poll mail, and inspect messages.

## Install

## Capabilities

- Verifies agent-email CLI availability with command and help checks.
- Installs the agent-email package through npm or bun when missing.
- Creates mailbox accounts and records email, account id, and active status.
- Reads latest inbox messages with wait, interval, limit, and full payload options.
- Shows or deletes individual messages by email alias and message id.
- Lists, switches, and removes local mailbox profiles.

## Use Cases

- Test Signup Flows: Create a disposable inbox, receive product emails, and inspect verification messages during application testing.
- Automate Agent Verification: Let an agent wait for incoming mail and extract the message fields needed for a workflow.
- Manage Temporary Inboxes: List active mailbox profiles, switch defaults, delete processed mail, and remove accounts when work is complete.

## Prompt Templates

### Create an Inbox

```
Use agent-email to create a new disposable inbox. Summarize the email address and account id only.
```

### Wait for a Message

```
Poll the default inbox for up to 30 seconds. Return the sender, subject, created time, and message id.
```

### Inspect a Verification Email

```
Find the latest verification email in the default inbox. Open the full message and extract only the verification link or code.
```

### Clean Up Profiles

```
List available agent-email accounts, switch to the requested mailbox, delete irrelevant messages, and remove profiles only after confirmation.
```

## Limitations

- Requires the agent-email CLI and network access.
- May install a community npm package if the CLI is missing.
- Only manages mailboxes supported by agent-email.
- Message contents and verification codes can be sensitive.

## Best Practices

- Confirm before installing the CLI or deleting messages.
- Return only needed mail fields and omit password or token values.
- Use the default alias only when the user has not specified an address.

## Anti Patterns

- Running install commands without user awareness.
- Printing full message bodies when only a code or link is needed.
- Deleting accounts or messages without an explicit request.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-08T10:15:17.687\+00:00
- Summary: The review confirmed the skill intentionally runs the agent-email CLI, jq, and a global npm or bun install path. Most static alerts are Markdown false positives, and no prompt injection or malicious exfiltration intent was found in the reviewed files.
