Setting up a new Google Tasks list with starter tasks normally requires multiple manual clicks in the Google Tasks UI; this recipe automates the entire sequence through the gws command-line tool. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Task List Creation: Inserts a new Google Tasks list with a custom title using the Google Tasks API. - Bulk Task Seeding: Adds multiple tasks with titles, notes, and due dates to the newly created list. - Verification: Lists all tasks in the list in table format to confirm the setup. - Use Case: At the start of a quarter, create a "Q2 Goals" list pre-populated with tasks like reviewing Q1 metrics and drafting OKRs, all from the terminal. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a new Google Tasks list called Q2 Goals and add your initial tasks to it using the gws tasks commands.
