# Skill: Gmail Auto-Reply for Client

## Purpose

This skill enables the agent to **automatically answer Gmail messages on behalf of a client**. The agent drafts and (when the user approves or when configured) sends replies using the client’s tone, sign-off, and optional templates.

## When to Use

- The user asks to “reply to my emails,” “answer my Gmail,” or “draft responses to incoming mail.”
- The user provides a Gmail context (e.g. “inbox for client@example.com”) and wants automated or semi-automated replies.
- The user wants the agent to act as the client when responding to specific threads or senders.

## Prerequisites (User/Client Must Provide)

- **Gmail access**: OAuth2 or app password for the client’s Gmail (never store raw passwords in the skill; use environment variables or secure config).
- **Client profile** (optional but recommended): short brief (tone, sign-off, topics they handle, topics to defer).

## Instructions

1. **Gather context**
   - Ask for or read the client’s brief: tone (formal/casual), sign-off (e.g. “Best,” “Thanks,”), and any “do not answer” or “always escalate” rules.
   - If the user provides an email thread or summary, use that as the incoming message to answer.

2. **Draft the reply**
   - Write a concise, professional reply that:
     - Addresses the sender and the main question or request.
     - Matches the client’s tone and sign-off.
     - Does not promise anything outside the client’s scope (e.g. legal/financial) unless the user explicitly approves.
   - Prefer short paragraphs and clear next steps (e.g. “I’ll get back to you by Friday”).

3. **Use templates when provided**
   - If the client has added templates (see `templates/reply_templates.json` or user-defined templates), pick the closest match by intent (e.g. “acknowledgment,” “meeting request,” “out of office”) and personalize placeholders like `{{sender_name}}`, `{{topic}}`, `{{deadline}}`.

4. **Safety and approval**
