Gws Shared

The gws-shared skill provides a shared library of utilities and common functions specifically designed to extend the capabilities of the Google Workspace CLI. It enables AI agents to perform complex administrative tasks across Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and other Workspace services with greater consistency. By standardizing access patterns, it simplifies the integration of diverse Workspace tools within automated workflows.

When to use it

• Automating bulk management of Google Workspace resources like users, groups, or sharing permissions.
• Building custom scripts that require cross-service logic between Gmail and Drive without rewriting core utilities.
• Extending the default googleworkspace/cli functionality with specialized helper functions for enterprise environments.
• Creating reusable agent workflows that need to interact with multiple Workspace APIs efficiently.

Key capabilities

• Shared utility functions for interacting with various Google Workspace services.
• Standardized access patterns for Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and other core tools.
• Enhanced support for complex administrative operations within the CLI framework.
• Modular design allowing seamless integration into larger automation pipelines.

Example prompts

• "Use gws-shared to create a script that audits shared Drive folders across all domains in my organization."
• "Help me build an agent workflow using gws-shared utilities to automatically archive old Gmail conversations and move them to long-term storage."
• "Show me how to leverage the shared functions in gws-shared to synchronize user data between Google Calendar and a custom internal system."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have the base googleworkspace/cli installed before attempting to utilize gws-shared, as it relies on its underlying infrastructure. Be mindful that this skill acts as a library; specific implementation details often require combining these shared utilities with other targeted CLI commands or custom code logic.
