// Gmail API integration with managed OAuth. Read, send, and manage emails, threads, labels, and drafts. Use this skill when users want to interact with Gmail. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).
Fill opportunity forms (jobs, scholarships, grants, fellowships) with strategically crafted, research-backed, human-sounding answers that maximize the chance of getting the opportunity. Trigger when Enrique says "Fill this: [LINK]", "Apply to [LINK]", or "Llena esta postulacion: [LINK]".
Social media content lifecycle — draft, schedule, publish, and analyze posts across X, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok with voice matching.
Email across all accounts (Gmail, SpaceMail) — send, search, read, reply, forward, label, delete.
Delegate simple sub-tasks to a fast model (GLM-5). Use for fetch, extract, query, and tool-heavy work that needs minimal reasoning.
Escalate complex tasks to Opus. Use when a task needs deep reasoning, multi-step execution, scoring, creative drafting, or coordination across multiple tools.
Full Google Calendar control across all accounts. Use for viewing agenda, creating events, updating, deleting, checking availability, finding conflicts, and managing RSVPs.

https://gateway.maton.ai/google-mail/{native-api-path}
Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Gmail API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to gmail.googleapis.com and automatically injects your OAuth token.
All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY
Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
Manage your Google OAuth connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.
