# Declawed
# Declawed: your kuddly assisty-kitty
### A configurable, prompt purrr-fectable LLM mail management assisty-kitty.
### Perfect for tedious job hunts you know the ones it feels like the process is driving *you*.
### Whirks whiskerous wonders on forums/feed where are the valuable insights are solid-gold, but only 10% total volume, vs 90% noise.
### With some prompt purrfection and playful experimentation, helps any inbox where you need to cut adjust signal/noise to hone in, and take action on real opportunities,
### (Cat) nip that sh*t in the bud.
# Inbox brimming with stank-ass algorithmically-generated turds?
# More secure than the blue-plate crustacean
A local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server you create ad configgure integrates with an LLM API you choose, a local model, or whatever your nine lives desire. Trojajedm nastie, privacy nackdoors and other goblins are not lurking in a black box install or opaque supply-chain.
# (Cat) nip that sh*t in the bud!!!
# Cat-o-matic
The library easily interfaces with your mail and calendar app APIs, or about any other service you want to plug in... it keeps things moving while you chase your tail or take a 19-hour nap in a sunbeam.
### Declawed is a configurable, prompt purrr-fectable LLM mail management assisty-kitty.
### Puuurfect for tedious daily sorts/classification/responses
### Cuts down on the frustartion of feeling like you'll never get your paws on that catnip-stuffed mouse dangling from the string.
# Privacy
# More than the blue-plate crustacean
A local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integrates with an LLM API you choose -- both of which offer greater ops and privacy control and transparency.
# Avoid flakey (molty?) black box installs.
Billed as QUICK AND EASY! ...loaded with more Trojans than an Olympic Village.
... Silent processes: data harvest phone-homes, behavioral analytic reporting, telemetry backdoors - all the nasties crawling the dark detritus. You know lobsters eat poop, right?
# Declawed: **actually** easy
## Stop drilling byzantine menus in mail, scehduling and sheets pltforms to 1. configure filters that don't even work 2. change every three months
## Short, declarative prompts are teh equivelent of wrapping slop, bulk-mail's feet in tin foil and tossing it in the bathtub.
### Prompts are discerning, unlike filters. For exaple, they keep the gold and bin the junk in forums/feeds where solid-gold insights are only 10% of the signal/noise.
### With refinement, prompting runs auto: cleaning that stank litter(in)box before you get a whiff.
### Morning greets you with a fresh, spring-meadow aroma of opportunities and insights -- not an avalanche of turds -- like its f*cxing 1998 again.

# Scope and Architecture
## Current implementation contemplates:
-- Claude Desktop (plugging in your choice of LLM to our framework should be easy. Plus we'll be building our own UI soon-ishh).
-- A Custom Local Model Context Protocol Server
## Current implementation requires building/using:
-- Claude Desktop (as UI - proprietary UI coming soonish)
-- Building/Connecting a Local Model Context Protocol Server
-- A DNS-configd domain, with MX records pointing to:
-- A commercial or self-hosted SMTP Server (with a sensible API)
-- A commercial or self-hosted SMTP Serve
---
## Coming soonish:
-- Our own custom UI
-- Suppost for wiring up local LLMs.

## 9. Add/Configure API Keys, Credentials, and Other Secrets
Secret files are **gitignored** -- they never leave your machine. Example templates are provided so you know what shape each file needs to be in.
#### 9a. `credentials.json`
This file holds your Google OAuth client credentials. **You do not write this by hand** -- it is downloaded from the Google Cloud Console (see Step 3f above). Copy the example and then replace it with the real download:
```bash
cp credentials.example.json credentials.json
# Now replace credentials.json with the file downloaded from Google Cloud Console.
```
The structure looks like this (the example file ships with empty values):
```json
{
"installed": {
"client_id": "",
"project_id": "",
"auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
"token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
"auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
"client_secret": "",
"redirect_uris": ["http://localhost"]
}
}
```
#### 9b. `accounts.json`
Defines each Gmail account the server manages. Copy the example and fill in your values:
```bash
cp accounts.example.json accounts.json
```
| Field | What to put here |
|-------|-----------------|
| `label` | The email address for this account (display only) |
| `tokenFile` | Filename for this account's OAuth token (e.g., `token.json`) |
| `spreadsheetId` | The ID from your Google Sheet URL: `docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/<THIS_PART>/edit` (optional) |
| `calendarId` | `"primary"` for your default calendar, or a specific calendar ID (optional) |
Add as many accounts as you need. Each key (e.g., `"work"`, `"secondary"`) becomes the account name used in tool calls and auth commands.
#### 9c. `token*.json` (auto-generated)
Token files are **created automatically** when you run `npm run auth` (Step 5). You do not need to create or edit them manually. A `token.example.json` is provided for reference only -- it shows the structure but the values are populated by the OAuth flow.
#### Summary of secret files
| Example template | Actual file (gitignored) | How to create |
|-----------------|--------------------------|---------------|
| `credentials.example.json` | `credentials.json` | Download from Google Cloud Console |
| `accounts.example.json` | `accounts.json` | Copy example, fill in your email/sheet/calendar IDs |
| `token.example.json` | `token.json`, `token-secondary.json`, etc. | Auto-generated by `npm run auth` |
