tomevault-io Send Email Skill
Send emails from the terminal using matcha's configured accounts.
How It Works
Matcha has a send CLI subcommand that sends emails non-interactively:
matcha send --to <recipients> --subject <subject> --body <body> [flags]
Available Flags
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--to |
Recipient(s), comma-separated (required) |
--subject |
Email subject (required) |
--body |
Email body (Markdown supported). Use "-" to read from stdin |
--from |
Sender account email (defaults to first configured account) |
--cc |
CC recipient(s), comma-separated |
--bcc |
BCC recipient(s), comma-separated |
--attach |
Attachment file path (can be repeated for multiple files) |
--signature |
Append default signature (default: true). Use --signature=false to disable |
--sign-smime |
Sign with S/MIME (uses account default if not set) |
--encrypt-smime |
Encrypt with S/MIME |
--sign-pgp |
Sign with PGP (uses account default if not set) |
Instructions
- Always ask the user for the recipient (
--to) and subject (--subject) if not provided. - Ask for the body or compose it based on the user's intent. The body supports Markdown.
- Account selection: If the user specifies which account to send from, use
--from <email>. Otherwise omit it to use the default account. - Attachments: If the user mentions files to attach, use
--attach <path>for each one. This flag can be repeated. - Stdin body: For long or multi-line bodies, pipe content into the command with
--body -. - Show the command to the user before running it so they can confirm.
Examples
Simple email:
matcha send --to alice@example.com --subject "Meeting tomorrow" --body "Hi Alice, can we meet at 2pm?"
From a specific account:
matcha send --from work@company.com --to client@example.com --subject "Invoice" --body "Please find the invoice attached." --attach ~/Documents/invoice.pdf
Multiple recipients with CC:
matcha send --to alice@example.com,bob@example.com --cc manager@example.com --subject "Project update" --body "The project is on track."
Long body from stdin:
cat ~/notes/report.md | matcha send --to team@example.com --subject "Weekly Report" --body -
Multiple attachments:
matcha send --to alice@example.com --subject "Files" --body "Here are the files." --attach report.pdf --attach data.csv
No signature:
matcha send --to alice@example.com --subject "Quick note" --body "Thanks!" --signature=false
Account Configuration
Accounts are configured in ~/.config/matcha/config.json. The --from flag matches against both the login email and fetch email fields. If omitted, the first configured account is used.
To list configured accounts, the user can check their matcha settings in the TUI.
