// Use Google Workspace CLI (`gws`) for Drive, Docs, Sheets, Gmail, Calendar, Chat, and related Workspace API tasks.
AI agent runtime and multi-agent orchestration platform. Teaches agents how to use SwarmClaw's 6 primitive tools, persistent memory, dreaming, delegation, connectors, credentials, and the skill system. Use when an agent is running on SwarmClaw and needs to understand the platform's capabilities.
Use when working with a SwarmVault knowledge vault (raw/, wiki/, swarmvault.schema.md). Establishes schema-first conventions and prefers graph queries over broad search.
Manage your SwarmClaw agent fleet — agents, tasks, chats, chatrooms, goals, schedules, memory, wallets, connectors, autonomy, and 40+ more command groups. Use when asked to dispatch work, check agent status, coordinate multi-agent work, run diagnostics, manage schedules, set goals, or orchestrate across a SwarmClaw dashboard instance.
Delegate coding tasks to external coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Pi, OpenCode) via shell. Use when: (1) building new features or apps in a separate project, (2) reviewing PRs, (3) refactoring large codebases, (4) iterative coding that needs file exploration. NOT for: simple one-liner fixes (just edit directly), reading code (use read/file tools), or work inside the SwarmClaw workspace itself.
GitHub operations via `gh` CLI: issues, PRs, CI runs, code review, API queries. Use when: (1) checking PR status or CI, (2) creating/commenting on issues, (3) listing/filtering PRs or issues, (4) viewing run logs. NOT for: local git operations (use git directly), non-GitHub repos, or cloning (use git clone).
Generate or edit images via Gemini 3 Pro Image (Nano Banana Pro). Use when asked to create, generate, or edit images and a Gemini API key is available. Supports text-to-image generation, single-image editing, and multi-image composition (up to 14 images).

Use gws when the task is about Google Workspace resources or Google Workspace API automation.
Prefer gws over generic HTTP calls when possible because it already knows the Workspace API surface and returns structured JSON by default.
gws needs to be configured in plugin settings or via a manual terminal login.Check installation and health:
gws doctor
Inspect help for a resource or method:
gws help
gws drive help
gws drive files help
Google Docs:
gws docs get --document-id <DOC_ID>
Google Drive:
gws drive files list --params '{"pageSize":10}'
gws drive files get --file-id <FILE_ID>
Google Sheets:
gws sheets spreadsheets get --spreadsheet-id <SPREADSHEET_ID>
Gmail:
gws gmail users messages list --user-id me --params '{"maxResults":10}'
gws gmail users messages get --user-id me --message-id <MESSAGE_ID>
Google Calendar:
gws calendar events list --calendar-id primary --params '{"maxResults":10,"singleEvents":true}'
Google Chat:
gws chat spaces messages list --parent spaces/<SPACE_ID>
When using the google_workspace tool:
gws command after the binary into args, for example:
{"args":["drive","files","list"],"params":{"pageSize":5}}params for --paramsjsonInput for --jsonpageAll: true when you intentionally want all pagesdryRun: true before risky mutations if you are unsuregws is missing: tell the user to install Google Workspace CLI.gws manually.
