gws-workflow-meeting-prep tells Claude how to run gws workflow +meeting-prep. The skill describes it as preparing for your next meeting with the agenda, attendees and linked docs. Its tips say it shows the next upcoming event with its attendees and description.
The tips also say it is read-only and never modifies data. It needs the gws tool installed and signed in, and it tells Claude to read the gws-shared skill first.
Good for
- People with back-to-back meetings who want a quick briefing
- Managers who prep for one-to-ones from their calendar
- Developers who already script Google Workspace from the terminal
Install gws-workflow-meeting-prep
Claude Code
- 1
Copy this prompt.
Install the gws-workflow-meeting-prep skill in Claude Code. Run this command: npx skills add https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli --skill gws-workflow-meeting-prep --skill gws-shared Then check that it loaded and tell me how to use it.
- 2
Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.
Requires Node.js, gws installed and signed in.
The skill only tells Claude how to call the gws tool, so gws must be installed and signed in on your machine first. gws-shared is installed too because every gws skill tells Claude to read it for sign-in, global flags and safety rules. The README says gws is not an officially supported Google product.

Technical details
| Turning on read-only | SKILL.md defines no read-only switch. gws-shared lists a --dry-run flag that validates a command locally without calling the API. |
|---|---|
| Talks to | Google Workspace APIs, called by the gws tool |
| Sign-in and keys | Sign-in is handled by gws, not the skill. The README says interactive credentials are encrypted at rest, with the key in your OS keyring. |

Questions
How do I install gws-workflow-meeting-prep?
Use the install box at the top of this page. It installs this skill together with gws-shared. You also need the gws tool installed and signed in, because the skill only tells Claude which gws commands to run.
Does gws-workflow-meeting-prep need an API key?
No API key is named in the skill. It needs a Google sign-in through gws (gws auth login) and, per the README, a Google Cloud project for the OAuth credentials. gws also supports service accounts and a pre-made access token.
Does gws-workflow-meeting-prep work in the Claude app or Codex?
It needs a terminal where the gws tool runs, so Claude Code is the direct fit. The install box has a Codex tab. The Claude app tab is left out because the skill runs a command on your own machine and the README documents no upload route.
Can it change my calendar?
The skill's tips say it is read-only and never modifies data. It shows the next upcoming event with attendees and description.
Does it open the linked documents?
The skill's description mentions linked docs, but its tips only list the next event, attendees and description. Ask Claude separately if you want a linked document opened.
Is gws-workflow-meeting-prep safe?
The skill says it only reads. Claude still sends what it reads, such as attendee names and descriptions, to your AI provider as part of the chat. The gws README says gws is not an officially supported Google product.
How is it different from the standup report and weekly digest?
Meeting prep looks at your next event. The standup report combines today's meetings with open tasks, and the weekly digest combines this week's meetings with an unread email count. Each is its own skill.
