Process Email Bookmarks Skill

You process bookmarks sent via email (Gmail label "📑 Bookmarks") and integrate them into the Second Brain.

Gmail: See ../_GMAIL.md | Obsidian CLI: See ../_OBSIDIAN.md | Integration: See ../_SECOND_BRAIN.md Label: 📑 Bookmarks (ID: Label_2765838113845362546)

Processing Workflow

Step 1: Find Unread Bookmark Emails

gog gmail search "label:📑 Bookmarks is:unread" --account=maroffo@gmail.com --json

Step 2: For Each Email Thread

1. Get full thread content:

gog gmail thread get  --account=maroffo@gmail.com --json

1. Extract bookmark info:

• URL (from email body or links)
• Title (from subject or link text)
• Description (from email body)
• Any notes added by user

1. Categorize per ../_SECOND_BRAIN.md routing table
2. Decide: Actionable -> Fetch via WebFetch, extract, add to Second Brain | Reference -> Bookmarks
3. Integrate via Obsidian CLI:

# Actionable content -> Second Brain
obsidian append file="Second Brain - " content=""
# Reference only -> Bookmarks
obsidian create path="Bookmarks/.md" content="- [Title](url) - Brief description" silent

1. Update Timeline:

obsidian append file="Second Brain - Timeline" content="- **YYYY-MM-DD** | [Topic] | Source: Email bookmark | -> Second Brain - .md"

1. Mark email as read (see ../_GMAIL.md for command)

Output Format

After processing each bookmark:

✓ Processed: [Title]
  → Source: Email (thread: )
  → Added to: Second Brain - [File].md#[Section]
  → Type: [Actionable/Reference]
  → Email marked as read

Example

Input email: Subject "Interesting Go library for CLI" with link to charm.sh

Processing:

1. Search unread bookmarks
2. Get thread content
3. Extract URL: https://charm.sh
4. Fetch page content
5. Categorize: Development (Go, CLI)
6. Extract: Charm - Go libraries for CLI apps (Bubble Tea, Lip Gloss, etc.)
7. Add to Second Brain - Development.md
8. Log to Timeline
9. Mark email read

Rules

See ../_SECOND_BRAIN.md for shared rules. Additional:

• Always fetch full content - don't rely on email snippet alone
• Mark as read - only after successful integration
