gws-apps-script — Claude Code command: Apps Script management
Command for managing Google Apps Script projects via CLI: create, update code, run scripts, and check execution metrics.
npx claude-code-templates@latest --command google-workspace/gws-apps-scriptWhat gws-apps-script does
The command wraps Google Workspace CLI (gws) and gives the agent access to Apps Script API: create an empty project, upload code to HEAD version, run a function, fetch metrics (execution count, active users), or list script processes. It exposes standard API resources: projects, processes, scripts, plus a helper command +push for uploading local files to a project.
Before calling any method, the command checks its schema via gws schema apps-script.<resource>.<method>: which parameters are required, what types are expected, what goes into --params, what into --json. Without gws installed and auth configured, the command won't work — the agent will first run gws --version and gws auth status.
Template repository is davila7/claude-code-templates, MIT license. The gws CLI itself is Apache 2.0, installed separately.
What it helps with
- create an empty Apps Script project from the agent
- update script code in the project's HEAD version
- run an Apps Script function and get the result
- check execution metrics: run count and active users
- fetch the list of script processes with their statuses
Example prompts for the agent
- Create a new Apps Script project for email processing
- Upload files from
src/to Apps Script projectabc123 - Run function

This content is stored as the HEAD version, and is used when the script is executed as a trigger, in the script editor, in add-on preview mode, or as a web app or Apps Script API in development mode. This clears all the existing files in the project. - `deployments` — Operations on the 'deployments' resource - `versions` — Operations on the 'versions' resource ### scripts - `run` — ## Discovering Commands Before calling any API method, inspect it: ```bash # Browse resources and methods gws apps-script --help # Inspect a method's required params, types, and defaults gws schema apps-script.<resource>.<method> ``` Use `gws schema` output to build your `--params` and `--json` flags. ## Usage ```bash # List available resources and methods gws apps-script --help # Inspect method schema before calling gws schema apps-script.<resource>.<method> # Execute command with arguments gws apps-script $ARGUMENTS ``` ## Task Execute the requested Apps Script operation: $ARGUMENTS 1. **Verify Prerequisites** - Check `gws` is installed: `gws --version` - Verify authentication: `gws auth status` - Review available commands: `gws apps-script --help` 2. **Inspect Method Schema** - Before calling any method, inspect its parameters - Use `gws schema` to understand required fields - Review parameter types and constraints 3. **Execute Operation** - Build command with appropriate flags - Use `--params` for query/path parameters - Use `--json` for request body - Handle pagination with `--max-results` or `--page-token` 4. **Error Handling** - Check command output for errors - Review API quotas and rate limits - Handle authentication issues - Retry transient failures --- **License**: Apache License 2.0 **Source**: [Google Workspace CLI](https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli) **Original Skill**: `gws-apps-script`
