What it does

Recipe Create Task List is an agent skill from googleworkspace/cli. Set up a new Google Tasks list with initial tasks.

Its SKILL.md is about 240 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Task breakdown. It works with Google Workspace. The repository describes itself as: Google Workspace CLI — one command-line tool for Drive, Gmail, Calendar, Sheets, Docs, Chat, Admin, and more. Dynamically built from Google Discovery Service. Includes AI agent… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Task breakdown

Example prompts

  • “/recipe-create-task-list”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Create task list: gws tasks tasklists insert --json '{"title": "Q2 Goals"}'
  2. Add a task: gws tasks tasks insert --params '{"tasklist": "TASKLIST_ID"}' --json '{"title": "Review Q1 metrics", "notes": "Pull data from…
  3. Add another task: gws tasks tasks insert --params '{"tasklist": "TASKLIST_ID"}' --json '{"title": "Draft Q2 OKRs"}'
  4. List tasks: gws tasks tasks list --params '{"tasklist": "TASKLIST_ID"}' --format table

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.

    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

Recipe Create Task List loads about 236 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 92 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~236

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.
