ABOUTME: Parameterized batch operations with safety-first approach

Email Cleanup Skill

../_GMAIL.md

Safety Rules

1. NEVER delete without confirmation - show counts first
2. Archive over delete - prefer archiving (recoverable)
3. Batch in chunks - max 50 at a time

Cleanup Targets

category:promotions older_than:30d

category:social older_than:14d

category:updates is:read older_than:7d

larger:10M

unsubscribe is:read older_than:30d

Workflow

Step 1: Count each category

gog gmail search "<query>" --account=maroffo@gmail.com --json | jq '.resultSizeEstimate'

Step 2: Present summary table with counts and suggested actions

Step 3: Execute (with confirmation)

THREADS=$(gog gmail search "<query>" --account=maroffo@gmail.com --json --max=50 | jq -r '.threads[].id')
for tid in $THREADS; do
  gog gmail thread modify $tid --account=maroffo@gmail.com --remove-labels=INBOX
done
