googleworkspace/cli reference
Official Google Workspace CLI tool with 200+ commands and 19+ AI agent skills. Written in Rust, dynamically built from Google Discovery Service. Skills are organized into: service skills (gws-docs, gws-sheets, gws-calendar, gws-gmail, gws-chat, gws-drive, gws-script, gws-classroom, gws-modelarmor), persona skills (project-manager, IT-admin, customer-support, content-creator), and recipe/workflow skills (standup-report, weekly-digest, file-announce, share-doc-and-notify, etc.).

Summary
Official Google Workspace CLI tool with 200+ commands and 19+ AI agent skills. Written in Rust, dynamically built from Google Discovery Service. Skills are organized into: service skills (gws-docs, gws-sheets, gws-calendar, gws-gmail, gws-chat, gws-drive, gws-script, gws-classroom, gws-modelarmor), persona skills (project-manager, IT-admin, customer-support, content-creator), and recipe/workflow skills (standup-report, weekly-digest, file-announce, share-doc-and-notify, etc.).
Assessment
HIGH VALUE for domain-specific process extraction. The persona skills (project-manager, IT-admin, customer-support, content-creator) contain workflow procedures that map to specializations/business/. The recipe skills demonstrate composable workflow patterns. The skill architecture (service skills as primitives, personas as compositions, recipes as workflows) is an excellent design pattern.
Extraction Priority
HIGH -- Persona workflow patterns are directly extractable:
- persona-project-manager -> specializations/business/project-management
- persona-it-admin -> specializations/business/it-administration
- persona-customer-support -> specializations/business/customer-support
- Recipe composition pattern -> methodologies/ (skill composition methodology)
Processes
1. **project-management-workflow** -- Weekly digest -> task tracking -> artifact sharing -> standup reporting cycle 2. **customer-support-triage** -- Email triage -> categorization -> response drafting -> escalation workflow 3. **content-creation-pipeline** -- Ideation -> draft in Docs -> review cycle -> publish/announce 4. **it-admin-audit** -- User audit -> permission review -> security compliance checks 5. **skill-composition-pattern** -- Meta-pattern: service primitives -> persona compositions -> recipe workflows
Plugin Ideas
- **google-workspace-bridge plugin**: Babysitter plugin that wraps gws CLI commands as task definitions for Google Workspace automation within orchestrated processes
Implicit Procedural Knowledge
- Three-tier skill architecture: primitives (API wrappers) -> personas (domain compositions) -> recipes (specific workflows)
--dry-runpattern before write operations- OpenClaw metadata format for skill categorization and dependency declaration
- Auto-discovery of CLI help as skill documentation
