glebis/gws
This skill should be used when interacting with Google Workspace services via the gws CLI — Gmail (search, triage, send, labels, filters, drafts), Calendar (agenda, events, Meet conferencing), Drive (upload, list, share, download), Sheets (read, append), Docs, Tasks, Chat (send), People/Contacts, and cross-service workflows (standup, meeting prep, weekly digest, email-to-task). Triggers on queries like "check my email", "search Gmail", "send email", "calendar agenda", "create calendar event", "upload to Drive", "read spreadsheet", "create a task", "triage inbox", "find contact", "post to Chat".
