About this skill

What it does. Runs gws gmail +watch to receive new Gmail messages through Pub/Sub and stream them as NDJSON. It can create or use existing topics and subscriptions, filter by labels, choose message format and pull interval, make a single pull, clean up resources, or write each message to a JSON file.

When to use it. Use it to monitor Gmail for incoming messages or feed them into another process. Gmail watches expire after seven days, so the watch must be re-run to renew it.
