What is gmail_last5?
The gmail_last5 skill is a specialized tool designed to provide instant visibility into your Gmail inbox directly from your command-line interface. By utilizing the gog CLI tool, this Openclaw Skills entry queries your account for the five newest messages and presents them in a clean, human-readable format.
This skill is built for developers and power users who want to stay informed of their latest communications without the distraction of a full email client. It prioritizes speed and efficiency, delivering essential metadata like sender, subject, and date in a concise summary that fits perfectly into a terminal-based environment.
gmail_last5 Use Cases
- Monitoring the inbox for high-priority incoming messages without leaving your IDE or terminal.
- Quickly checking for two-factor authentication codes or magic login links.
- Verifying recent communications from clients or team members during development tasks.
- Integrating a snapshot of recent email activity into automated daily stand-up routines.
How gmail_last5 Works
- The user triggers the skill by executing the gmail_last5 command within their agent interface.
- The skill initiates a search request via the gog CLI, specifically targeting the inbox label with a result limit of five.
- The gog tool returns the email data in a structured JSON format.
- The skill parses the JSON to extract the most relevant information: the sender's identity, the subject line, and the timestamp.
- A formatted, concise list is presented to the user, providing a clear overview of recent inbox activity.
gmail_last5 Setup
To use this skill, ensure you have the gog CLI installed and properly authenticated with your Google account.
# Authenticate your account with gog
gog auth login
# Configure the skill with your specific account email if needed
gog gmail search "in:inbox" --max 5 --json --results-only --account [email protected]
If the command fails, verify that your Gmail account is correctly authenticated and that the account string in the command matches your credentials.
gmail_last5 Data Schema & Taxonomy

| Subject | The title or header of the email message. |
| Date | The timestamp of when the email was received. |
