What problem does it solve?
This Skill consolidates shared CLI patterns and safety rules for the Google Workspace gws command-line tool so users and agents can authenticate reliably, apply consistent global flags, and produce predictable output without exposing secrets or falling prey to shell quoting pitfalls.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Authentication guidance for both interactive browser OAuth and service account credentials.
- Global flags and output formatting controls including json, table, yaml, csv, dry-run, sanitize, pagination, and upload/download options.
- Security and shell tips to avoid history expansion, accidental secret printing, and destructive actions; ideal for automating Drive and Sheets reads, batch exports, and scripted admin tasks.
Quick Start
Authenticate with gws using a browser login or a service account credential and then run a read operation to list files or sheet ranges with an explicit output format and pagination settings.
