What it does

This skill gives an AI agent a short step-by-step recipe for pulling up a Google Form and reading the answers people have submitted to it. It tells the agent to use the gws command-line tool to list your forms, look up a specific form's details, and fetch its responses as a table so the agent can summarise or review them. It depends on a companion skill called gws-forms for the underlying commands.

Great for

  • Teachers or organisers who want an agent to summarise survey or sign-up responses
  • Anyone who already uses the gws CLI and wants a quick recipe for reading form data
  • Developers building automations that read Google Form submissions

Skip it if

  • Editing or deleting forms or responses, since this recipe only describes reading data (the companion skill may cover more, but this file does not)
  • Situations where form responses contain sensitive personal data you are not authorised to share with an AI tool, because the agent will read them

Try asking

  • “Show me the responses to my customer feedback form”
  • “List my Google Forms and tell me which one has the most recent submissions”
  • “Summarise the answers from the event registration form FORM_ID”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Have the form ID ready, or let the agent run the list step first to find it.
  • Ask the agent to summarise or filter the output rather than dumping raw rows, to keep results readable.
  • Check that gws is installed and signed in to the correct Google account before running.
