Skill instructions

Himalaya Email CLI Himalaya is a CLI email client that lets you manage emails from the terminal using IMAP, SMTP, Notmuch, or Sendmail backends. This skill is separate from the Hermes Email gateway adapter. The gateway adapter lets people email the agent and uses Hermes' built-in IMAP/SMTP adapter; this skill lets the agent operate a mailbox from terminal tools and requires the external himalaya CLI. References - references/configuration.md (config file setup + IMAP/SMTP authentication) - references/message-composition.md (MML syntax for composing emails) Prerequisites 1. Himalaya CLI installed (himalaya --version to verify) 2. A configuration file at /.config/himalaya/config.toml 3.
