Install the Gws Chat skill

Skills CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others)

npx skills add https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli --skill gws-chat

Claude Code, by hand (all projects)

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli.git /tmp/cli
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/cli/skills/gws-chat ~/.claude/skills/gws-chat

For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.

Until it is used, gws-chat costs about 105× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,362 tokens on every turn). Installing all 95 skills from googleworkspace/cli would load 1,706 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study
