π³ Curated by Skill Harbor β the full Google Chat API v1 reference for the `gws` CLI: spaces, messages, members, users, media upload/download and custom emojis, with the `gws schema` discovery workflow before any call. The first Chat fiche in the catalog β the 9 gws fiches of lot 33 cover Calendar, Tasks, Slides, Forms, Meet and Keep only, and the lot 31 googleworkspace fiches are workflows/personas, not CLI references. Its `+send` companion is listed separately as `googleworkspace-cli-gws-chat-send`, mirroring the lot 33 `gws-calendar` / `gws-calendar-agenda` + `gws-calendar-insert` pattern. By @googleworkspace, listed here with credit to its creator. Honest caveats: requires the `gws` binary and a Google account (browser OAuth is free; the Chat API generally needs a paid Google Workspace account, and custom emojis need an admin to enable them); install the prerequisite `googleworkspace-cli-gws-shared` first. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.

Install
Prerequisites: the `gws` binary on the PATH (see the repo README for install options); a Google account (browser OAuth via `gws auth login`, interactive and free β the Chat API generally requires a paid Google Workspace account); the `gws-shared` prerequisite skill installed first Install "gws CLI: Google Chat reference" for me. Give my agent the full Google Chat API v1 reference for the gws CLI β spaces, messages, members, users, media and custom emojis β with the `gws schema` discovery workflow Repository: https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli/blob/main/skills/gws-chat/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file for the googleworkspace-cli-gws-chat skill from the repository into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "googleworkspace-cli-gws-chat". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. install the gws binary, run `gws auth login`). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. Never ask me to paste secrets in chat β credentials go through the secure vault or environment variables. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you β no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the sellerβs own page, usually Stripe.
What does the β next to a creatorβs name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself β always check a build before installing it.
