What it does

Gws is an agent skill from HybridAIOne/hybridclaw. Use the gws CLI for Google Calendar, Gmail, Drive, Sheets, Docs, Tasks, and cross-service Workspace workflows.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/calendar.md`, `references/drive-docs-sheets.md` and `references/gmail.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Cloud office suites and Email management. It works with Google Workspace, Gmail and Google Calendar. The repository describes itself as: Enterprise-ready self-hosted AI assistant runtime with sandboxed execution, secure credentials, approvals, and memory. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Cloud office suites
  • Tasks that involve Email management

Example prompts

  • “/gws”

Requirements

  • A credential in GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_TOKEN

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check auth before anything else
  2. Act immediately
  3. Pick the right commands

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8162701. 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Gws loads about 898 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 396 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~898
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.2k

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.

Google Workspace via gws CLI

Step 1: Check auth before anything else

HybridClaw injects GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_TOKEN into the agent runtime when Google auth is configured with hybridclaw auth login google.

Run exactly gws auth status (no API call, instant) and parse the JSON output. Do not add --json; gws auth status --json is invalid because auth status already prints JSON by default.

Treat auth as configured when any of these are true:

  • credential_source is "token_env_var"
  • token_env_var is true
  • auth_method is not "none"
  • storage is not "none"

This matters because HybridClaw passes its Google OAuth token through GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_TOKEN; current gws auth status may still report auth_method: "none" for that env-token mode.

Only if none of the authenticated states above are present, tell the user:

Run hybridclaw auth login google in your terminal to connect your Google account.

If env-token auth is present, do not ask the user to log in again. Continue with the requested gws command immediately.

That's it. Don't explain OAuth, GCP projects, scopes, or alternatives unless a later gws command returns an auth or scope error. The HybridClaw login flow works for both personal Gmail and Workspace accounts.

Step 2: Act immediately

Do not ask clarifying questions. Run the command with sensible defaults:

  • Calendar → primary calendar, user's timezone
  • Gmail → userId: me, unread inbox
  • Drive → search by name keywords the user mentioned
  • Sheets → search Drive first if user gave a name, not an ID

Only ask for clarification when there are genuinely ambiguous results (e.g., multiple spreadsheets matching a search).

Show full SKILL.md (146 more words)Show less

Step 3: Pick the right commands

Calendar: See references/calendar.md Gmail: See references/gmail.md Drive & Sheets & Docs: See references/drive-docs-sheets.md Cross-service workflows: See references/workflows.md

For any service not covered above, use gws <service> --help to discover available resources and methods. The raw syntax is:

gws <service> <resource> <method> --params '{"key": "val"}' --json '{"body": "data"}'

Confirmation rules

Confirm before actions that affect other people:

  • Sending email
  • Inviting attendees to events
  • Sharing files or folders

Do not confirm for actions that only affect the user:

  • Blocking time on their own calendar
  • Creating personal reminders or tasks
  • Creating a private document or spreadsheet

The reason: asking "are you sure you want to block 2-4pm?" when the user just told you to block 2-4pm is friction, not safety.

Presenting results

Format JSON output into readable summaries. Group calendar events by day. Show email as sender + subject + snippet. Render sheets data as Markdown tables. Never dump raw JSON unless the user asks for it.
