Cora Email

Email Briefs

Cora processes your Gmail and generates AI-powered summaries:

cora brief              # List recent briefs (default 10)
cora brief show         # Show latest brief details
cora brief show <id>    # Show specific brief
cora brief show --open  # Show and open in browser
cora brief read <id>    # Mark brief as read
cora brief unread <id>  # Mark brief as unread
cora brief --format json  # JSON output for parsing

Todos

Manage email-related todos:

cora todo list                                        # List pending todos
cora todo list --all                                  # Include completed
cora todo show <id>                                   # View details
cora todo create "Title"                              # Create new todo
cora todo create "Title" --priority high --due tomorrow  # With options
cora todo edit <id> --title "New" --priority low      # Update
cora todo complete <id>                               # Mark done
cora todo uncomplete <id>                             # Mark pending
cora todo delete <id> --force                         # Delete
cora todo delete-completed --force                    # Delete all completed
cora todo list --format json                          # JSON output

Chat with Cora

Have conversations with Cora's AI assistant:

cora chat send "message"              # Start new conversation
cora chat send "message" --chat <id>  # Continue existing conversation
cora chat send "message" --no-stream  # Wait for complete response
cora chat list                        # List recent conversations
cora chat show <id>                   # View full chat history

Other

cora open     # Open Cora dashboard in browser
cora prime    # Show full agent instructions
cora help     # List all commands
cora login    # Authenticate
cora logout   # Clear session

Best Practices

• Always verify auth first — run cora whoami before other commands
• Wait for each command to complete — don't run commands in rapid succession
• Use --format json when you need to parse output programmatically
• Don't retry failures more than once — ask the user for guidance instead
• Use cora status to understand the user's current email setup and state

Error Codes

• 0 — Success
• 1 — General error
• 2 — Authentication required (run cora login)
• 3 — Resource not found
• 4 — Validation error
