What This Skill Does
ShellMail gives AI agents a real email inbox at shellmail.ai. Agents can check for new messages, read full emails, and extract OTP codes automatically via a REST API and shell scripts.
Agents get a real, dedicated inbox without configuring IMAP, SMTP, or a full email provider.
When to use it
- Receiving verification emails during automated account signup
- Extracting OTP codes from two-factor authentication flows
- Waiting for a password reset link in automated test scripts
- Searching inbox for emails from a specific sender domain
- Archiving processed emails after extracting needed data
