What it does

This skill teaches an AI agent to use the gws command-line tool to combine several Google Workspace services in one step. It lists five helper workflows: a standup summary of today's meetings and open tasks, meeting prep with agenda and linked docs, turning a Gmail message into a Google Tasks entry, a weekly digest of meetings and unread email count, and announcing a Drive file in a Chat space. It also tells the agent to look up command details with gws schema before building requests.

Great for

  • Professionals who use Google Calendar, Gmail, Drive, Tasks and Chat and want quick daily summaries
  • People who want an agent to prepare for meetings using their own calendar and documents
  • Users already set up with the gws CLI and its authentication

Skip it if

  • People without a Google Workspace account, since every helper reads or writes personal or work data in Google services
  • Anyone wanting unattended actions on email or chat without review, because the helpers can create tasks and post messages to Chat spaces on their behalf

Try asking

  • “Give me my standup report for today from my meetings and open tasks”
  • “Prepare me for my next meeting, including the agenda, attendees and linked docs”
  • “Turn the latest email from my manager into a Google Tasks item”
  • “Announce the Q3 planning deck in the marketing Chat space”
