- Makefile `release`: cross-compiles CGO-free static binaries for linux/amd64, linux/arm64, darwin/amd64, darwin/arm64, windows/amd64 into dist/, named emcli_<version>_<os>_<arch>[.exe] (matching skills/emcli/scripts/install.sh), plus a sha256 checksums.txt. VERSION is injected into internal/version.String. - Makefile `publish`: creates the Gitea release and uploads all dist/ assets via tea. - .gitea/workflows/release.yml: on a v* tag, build + publish via the Gitea API. - RELEASING.md: the local (make) and CI flows. Verified end-to-end: `make release VERSION=v0.4.0` builds all five assets with the version baked in; serving them locally, skills/emcli/scripts/install.sh downloads, passes checksum verification, and the installed binary reports v0.4.0.

emcli
A single command-line program that mediates all email access for an AI agent. The agent never
holds your email password and never talks to the mail server directly — every read and send goes
through emcli, which enforces the limits you configure (read-only/read-write, sender and
recipient whitelists, subject filters). Even with faulty instructions, the agent can't read mail
it isn't permitted to see or send mail to people it isn't permitted to contact.
Getting started
export EMCLI_KEY="$(head -c 32 /dev/urandom | base64)" # one-time: generate & save a key
emcli init # create the DB, add your first account
emcli doctor # confirm it connects and authenticates
Documentation
See the User Manual for full setup, account configuration (including Gmail app passwords), the agent and admin command reference, the JSON output format, and troubleshooting.
For AI agents, skills/emcli is an
Agent Skill that teaches an agent to read and send mail through emcli,
including a binary installer.
