What agent-email-cli does

This skill teaches the coding agent how to handle temporary inboxes through the agent-email command line tool. An agent creates disposable addresses and extracts email content in JSON format. This setup helps automate flows where scripts must verify account signups via incoming links.

The skill guides the agent through exact commands. It uses agent-email read with polling flags --wait 30 --interval 2 to wait for incoming mail. It then pulls message IDs and sender addresses. Passwords and secret tokens are kept out of logs.

The skill cannot run if @zaddy6/agentemail is missing from PATH. Install it globally first. The CLI also handles switching account profiles and deleting processed emails.

What it helps with

generate temporary inboxes for automated test flows
poll for incoming verification emails and one-time passwords
inspect email payload details to extract activation links
delete processed messages from temporary mailboxes

Example prompts for the agent

Create a temporary inbox and wait for the verification email.
Poll the current inbox for incoming messages with a 30 second timeout.
Show the full content of the latest message and find the activation code.
