What it does
Gws Shared is an agent skill from JetBrains/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. gws CLI: Shared patterns for authentication, global flags, and output formatting.
Its SKILL.md is about 700 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 Documents & Office. It works with Google Workspace. The repository describes itself as: Curated agent skills collection verified by JetBrains.
When your agent uses it
- Documents & Office work in your project
Example prompts
- “/gws-shared”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e0f258b. 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
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Gws Shared loads about 704 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 236 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 236 words (~704 tokens).
“The gws binary must be on $PATH. See the project README for install options.”
