What it does

This skill gives an AI agent a persona for handling routine HR tasks in Google Workspace. Once installed, the agent can schedule new-hire orientation events in Google Calendar, upload onboarding documents to a shared Drive folder, post new-hire announcements in Google Chat, turn emailed requests into tasks, and send bulk emails through Gmail. It works by calling the gws command-line tool, which the user must already have installed and authenticated. The file is short and mostly a set of instructions pointing to other gws skills (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Chat) and named gws commands. It does not contain the code itself, so its real behaviour depends on the gws tool and the permissions granted to it.

Great for

  • HR staff or office managers who already use Google Workspace and want an agent to help with onboarding paperwork and announcements
  • Teams that want a consistent way to create orientation calendar entries and share onboarding documents
  • Developers building an internal HR assistant on top of the gws CLI

Skip it if

  • Handling sensitive employee records without review: the skill sends emails, posts to Chat and uploads files, and a mistake could reach many people; check drafts before bulk sends
  • Organisations that need compliance-certified HR systems or payroll; this is a light productivity helper, not an HR information system
  • Users who have not set up and authorised the gws CLI; the skill will not work without it

Try asking

  • “Schedule a 30-minute orientation session for next Monday's new hires and add it to the HR Onboarding calendar”
  • “Announce the new hire Sam Patel in our #general Chat space and share their profile document”
  • “Turn the email from our finance lead about benefits enrolment into a tracked task”
  • “Send a bulk announcement to all staff about the office closure on Friday with a clear subject line”

Get better results

  • Review email and Chat announcements before sending, especially bulk sends, because the agent acts on the account it is authorised for
  • The SKILL.md asks for --sanitize on PII-sensitive operations; confirm that flag exists in your gws version before relying on it
  • Install the four required utility skills alongside this one, or the persona will be incomplete
