# Google Workspace CLI

Expert guidance and automation for Google Workspace administration using the open-source `gws` CLI ([github.com/googleworkspace/cli](https://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.

gws auth export --unmasked > credentials.json
export GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_CREDENTIALS_FILE=/path/to/credentials.json
```
