Google Workspace CLI

Expert guidance and automation for Google Workspace administration using the open-source gws CLI (github.com/googleworkspace/cli, Apache-2.0). The CLI builds its command surface dynamically from Google's Discovery Service, so it covers every supported Workspace API plus +-prefixed helper commands. This skill adds local Python tools (doctor, auth guide, recipe catalog, security audit, output analyzer).

Verify before scripting: gws generates commands at runtime from Google's API discovery documents, and the CLI is pre-v1.0. Always confirm a command's exact surface with gws --help, gws <service> --help, or gws schema <service>.<resource>.<method> before putting it in automation. Commands in this skill marked (verify) are illustrative of the gws <service> <resource> <method> pattern and must be checked against your installed version.
