Skills5
agent-email-inboxUse when building any system where email content triggers actions — AI agent inboxes, automated support handlers, email-to-task pipelines, or any workflow processing untrusted inbound email. Always use this skill when the user wants to receive emails and act on them programmatically, even if they don't mention "agent" — the skill contains critical security patterns (sender allowlists, content filtering, sandboxed processing) that prevent untrusted email from controlling your system.
email-best-practicesUse when building email features, emails going to spam, high bounce rates, setting up SPF/DKIM/DMARC authentication, implementing email capture, ensuring compliance (CAN-SPAM, GDPR, CASL), handling webhooks, retry logic, making emails accessible (alt text, headings, contrast, screen readers), or deciding transactional vs marketing.
react-emailUse when building HTML email templates with React components, adding a visual email editor to an application using the React Email visual editor, rendering emails to HTML, or sending emails with Resend. Covers welcome emails, password resets, notifications, order confirmations, newsletters, transactional emails, and the embeddable email editor component.
resendUse when working with the Resend email API — sending transactional emails (single or batch), receiving inbound emails via webhooks, managing email templates, tracking delivery events, managing domains, contacts, broadcasts, webhooks, API keys, automations, events, viewing API request logs, or setting up the Resend SDK. Always use this skill when the user mentions Resend, even for simple tasks like "send an email with Resend" — the skill contains critical gotchas (idempotency keys, webhook verification, template variable syntax) that prevent common production issues.
resend-cliOperate the Resend platform from the terminal — send emails (including React Email .tsx templates via --react-email), manage domains, contacts, broadcasts, templates, webhooks, API keys, logs, automations, and events via the `resend` CLI. Use when the user wants to run Resend commands in the shell, scripts, or CI/CD pipelines, or send/preview React Email templates. Always load this skill before running `resend` commands — it contains the non-interactive flag contract and gotchas that prevent silent failures.
