How it works

When invoked, this skill will:

1. Authenticate with Gmail API using credentials at $GMAIL_CREDENTIALS_PATH
2. Fetch recent emails (default: last 10 unread emails)
3. Summarize each email with:
   • Sender and subject
   • Key points from the email body
   • Recommended actions or responses
4. Present results in an organized, easy-to-scan format
