What this skill tells the agent

gws — Shared Reference

Installation

The gws binary must be on $PATH. See the project README for install options.

Authentication

# Browser-based OAuth (interactive)
gws auth login

# Service Account
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/key.json

Global Flags

Flag	Description
`--format <FORMAT>`	Output format: `json` (default), `table`, `yaml`, `csv`
`--dry-run`	Validate locally without calling the API
`--sanitize <TEMPLATE>`	Screen responses through Model Armor

CLI Syntax

gws <service> <resource> [sub-resource] <method> [flags]

Method Flags

Flag	Description
`--params '{"key": "val"}'`	URL/query parameters
`--json '{"key": "val"}'`	Request body
`-o, --output <PATH>`	Save binary responses to file
`--upload <PATH>`	Upload file content (multipart)
`--page-all`	Auto-paginate (NDJSON output)
`--page-limit <N>`	Max pages when using --page-all (default: 10)
`--page-delay <MS>`	Delay between pages in ms (default: 100)

Security Rules

Never output secrets (API keys, tokens) directly
Always confirm with user before executing write/delete commands
Prefer --dry-run for destructive operations
Use --sanitize for PII/content safety screening

Shell Tips

zsh `!` expansion: Sheet ranges like Sheet1!A1 contain ! which zsh interprets as history expansion. Use double quotes with escaped inner quotes instead of single quotes: ```bash # WRONG (zsh will mangle the !) gws sheets +read --spreadsheet ID --range 'Sheet1!A1:D10'

# CORRECT gws sheets +read --spreadsheet ID --range "Sheet1!A1:D10"

- **JSON with double quotes:** Wrap `--params` and `--json` values in single quotes so the shell does not interpret the inner double quotes:

gws drive files list --params '{"pageSize": 5}'
