What is sog: Standards Ops Gadget?
sog (Standards Ops Gadget) provides a powerful, open-standards alternative to proprietary ecosystem tools. It allows developers and power users to interact with their digital life—including mail, schedules, address books, and cloud storage—entirely through the terminal or via automated scripts within Openclaw Skills environments.
By supporting IMAP, SMTP, CalDAV, CardDAV, and WebDAV, sog ensures full compatibility with a wide range of independent providers like Fastmail while maintaining strict security through native system credential storage. This skill is essential for building privacy-focused workflows that do not rely on restricted Google or Microsoft APIs.
sog: Standards Ops Gadget Use Cases
- Automating email responses and report delivery via SMTP.
- Syncing and managing calendar events and task lists (VTODO) directly from the command line.
- Searching and updating contacts across different address books using CardDAV.
- Managing remote files, backups, and directory structures using WebDAV protocols.
- Receiving real-time push notifications for new emails via IMAP IDLE support.
How sog: Standards Ops Gadget Works
- The user adds an account using the auth command, which can auto-discover server settings via DNS.
- Credentials and protocol-specific passwords are securely stored in the system's native keychain (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, or GNOME Keyring).
- The user issues protocol-specific commands such as mail, cal, tasks, or drive to interact with the server.
- sog communicates directly with standards-compliant servers to fetch, update, or delete data.
- Results are returned in human-readable, JSON, or TSV formats, making it easy to pipe data into other Openclaw Skills for further processing.
sog: Standards Ops Gadget Setup
Install the sog binary using Go:
go install github.com/visionik/sogcli/cmd/sog@latest
Configure your account using auto-discovery:
sog auth add [email protected] --discover
sog auth test
sog: Standards Ops Gadget Data Schema & Taxonomy
sog organizes data based on the specific protocol being used, ensuring a clean mapping between the CLI and the server state:
| Data Type | Organization Method |
|---|---|
| Accounts | Metadata stored locally; passwords managed by native system keychain |
| Organized by folder and unique message UID (IMAP) | |
| Calendar | Events identified by UID; supports iCal/VTODO formats |
| Contacts | Address book entries managed via CardDAV UID |
| Files | Hierarchical remote path structure (WebDAV) |
| Output | Supports human-readable (default), JSON (JSONL), and Plain (TSV) |
sog: Standards Ops Gadget Advanced Features
- Native support for IMAP IDLE to monitor folders for new messages in real-time.
- Integrated meeting invite management using iTIP/iMIP for sending and replying to .ics invitations.
- Fine-grained security with separate password support for different protocols (IMAP vs SMTP vs WebDAV).
- Scripting-ready output modes and a CI-friendly
--no-inputflag for headless automation. - Comprehensive AI-ready help documentation accessible via the
--ai-helpflag.
