Description
gws-chat is an agent skill from the Google Workspace CLI project, listed on skills.sh. It manages Google Chat through the Chat API and the gws command-line tool, covering spaces, messages, members, custom emojis and media. The listing says it supports more than ten API resources, with create, read, update, delete and search operations, and that it can create a space with initial members and find or list direct messages. The page shows one helper command, +send, which sends a message to a space, and then a list of API resources, starting with customEmojis. The skill points to the shared gws authentication and security rules as a prerequisite, and it can be generated if missing. Sending a message is a write action, so the more specific send skill asks for confirmation. It suits teams that use Google Chat and want an agent to create spaces, post updates or look up messages from the command line, provided they have authorised the tool with their Google Workspace account.…
