About this skill
Gws Script is a skill in googleworkspace/cli (31k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 504 tokens. Licence: Apache-2.0.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a3768d0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Gws Script loads about 504 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 12 tokens; SKILL.md has 217 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Questions about Gws Script
How do I install Gws Script in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add googleworkspace/cli --skill gws-script -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/gws-script in googleworkspace/cli) into .claude/skills/gws-script in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Gws Script in Codex?
Run `npx skills add googleworkspace/cli --skill gws-script -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/gws-script in googleworkspace/cli) into .agents/skills/gws-script in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Gws Script in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add googleworkspace/cli --skill gws-script -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/gws-script, .gemini/skills/gws-script, .github/skills/gws-script and .opencode/skills/gws-script in your project.
What does Gws Script need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Gws Script is instructions for the agent only.
Does Gws Script access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Gws Script safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Gws Script use?
Gws Script is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Gws Script use?
About 504 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Gws Script?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Gws Script: Google Workspace (NousResearch/hermes-agent, 252k stars), Managing Google Workspace (taylorwilsdon/google_workspace_mcp, 3.3k stars), Gog (openclaw/gogcli, 8.5k stars) and Google Workspace (mitsuhiko/agent-stuff, 3.2k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Gws Script?
googleworkspace (a GitHub organization) maintains it in googleworkspace/cli, which has 31,272 GitHub stars. The repository holds 77 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 6, 2026.
