Google Account Login
Signs one Google account into its own gws config dir and registers it as a tagged account. One OAuth client (held by the google-workspace-oauth connector) can authorize many accounts — each lives in its own config dir selected via GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_CONFIG_DIR. This skill is the login step for that multi-account model.
This skill is normally invoked by google-workspace-setup, not called directly by users. Run it only after the google-workspace-oauth connector exists (so the client id/secret are injected into the script's env).
It ships one script, scripts/account-login.ts, invoked through skill_run:
skill_run {
skill: "google-account-login",
script: "account-login",
args: { tag: "personal", services: ["drive","gmail","calendar","docs","sheets","meet","forms"] }
}
The script mints a gini-managed config dir under ~/.gini/google-accounts/<id>, runs gws auth login (it opens the user's browser to the Google consent screen and waits for them to finish), then confirms the session and registers the tagged account with the local gateway. The user's default browser pops automatically — sign-in is a human-in-the-loop step; never type the user's email or password.
Arguments (stdin JSON)
tag (string, required) — short label for this account, e.g. "personal" or "work". Tags are unique across accounts.services (string[], optional) — gws service names to request. Defaults to all seven: ["drive","gmail","calendar","docs","sheets","meet","forms"].readonly (boolean, optional) — request read-only scopes for the chosen services.scopes (string[], optional) — explicit full scope URLs; overrides services. Use only when the user names a specific scope shape -s can't express (e.g. full Gmail https://mail.google.com/).configDir (string, optional) — run the login into a specific existing config dir instead of minting a new one. Use it to re-auth an account whose session expired: pass that account's stored configDir (or "~/.config/gws" for the default-dir session) so the account keeps its id and tag. When omitted, a new gini-managed dir is minted. Ignored when adopt: true.adopt (boolean, optional) — register the already-signed-in session in the default config dir (~/.config/gws) without a fresh login. No browser opens; fails if that dir has no live session.
Result (stdout JSON)
On success:
{ "ok": true, "id": "gacct_ab12cd34", "tag": "personal", "email": "me@example.com",
"configDir": "/Users/me/.gini/google-accounts/gacct_ab12cd34",
"scopes": ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify", "..."] }
On failure: { "ok": false, "error": "<reason>" } (and a non-zero exit). Common reasons: "gws never printed the consent URL", "Login did not produce a valid session.", "No signed-in Google session in the default gws config dir to adopt.", or the gateway's register error.
