Connect Apps
SkillCommunicationconnect-apps is a skill that connects an AI agent to external apps such as Gmail, Slack, and GitHub. It lets the agent take actions in those services on the user's behalf, such as sending emails, posting messages, and creating issues. Use it when a task involves acting in an external service rather than just reading or writing local files.
