Verify all skills/*/SKILL.md files against actual CLI output for accuracy

Verify Skills

Ensure every skills/*/SKILL.md file is accurate and optimized for AI agent consumption.

Steps

1. List all skill files

find skills -name SKILL.md | sort

2. Get top-level help for every service

// turbo

for svc in drive sheets gmail calendar admin admin-reports docs slides tasks people chat vault groupssettings reseller licensing apps-script; do
  echo "=== $svc ==="
  ./target/debug/gws $svc --help 2>&1
  echo
done

3. Get sub-resource help for key services (spot-check method names used in examples)

// turbo

./target/debug/gws drive files --help 2>&1
./target/debug/gws gmail users messages --help 2>&1
./target/debug/gws sheets spreadsheets --help 2>&1
./target/debug/gws sheets spreadsheets values --help 2>&1
./target/debug/gws calendar events --help 2>&1
./target/debug/gws people people --help 2>&1
./target/debug/gws chat spaces --help 2>&1
./target/debug/gws vault matters --help 2>&1
./target/debug/gws admin users --help 2>&1
./target/debug/gws tasks tasks --help 2>&1

4. For each SKILL.md, verify the following against the CLI --help output:

   • Resource names match exactly (e.g., files, spreadsheets, users)
   • Method names match exactly (e.g., list, insert, batchUpdate, getContent)
   • Nested resource paths are correct (e.g., spreadsheets values get, not values get)
   • Alias mentioned in the file matches services.rs (e.g., gws script for apps-script)
   • API version in the header is correct
   • Example commands use valid --params and --json flag syntax
   • No OAuth scopes section — scopes should not be listed in skill files
   • Tips section contains accurate, actionable advice

5. Cross-check shared/SKILL.md covers:

   • --fields / field mask syntax
   • CLI syntax (--params, --json, --output, --upload, --page-all, --page-limit, --page-delay)
   • Authentication (GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_CREDENTIALS, GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_API_KEY)
   • Auto-pagination (--page-all) with NDJSON output
   • gws schema <method> introspection
   • Error handling JSON structure
   • Binary download with --output
   • Version override (--api-version, colon syntax)

6. Fix any issues found — update the SKILL.md files directly.

7. Rebuild and re-verify if any examples were changed.
