# gws-events-renew

Renews or reactivates Google Workspace Events subscriptions so they stop expiring under you. Handy when a listener or script depends on a subscription that is about to lapse.

## What it does

The command wraps `gws events +renew` from the Google Workspace CLI. Pass `--name` with something like `subscriptions/SUB_ID` to bring one subscription back. Pass `--all` to refresh everything expiring inside the `--within` window, which defaults to 1h; `30m` and `2d` work too.

The skill behind it works in four steps: confirm `gws --version` and `gws auth status`, look up the method with `gws schema`, assemble the flags, then read errors and retry transient failures. It also points at `../gws-shared/SKILL.md` for auth, global flags and security rules. Missing that file? `gws generate-skills` creates it.

Nothing runs until the CLI is installed and authenticated, so verify `gws auth status` first. Subscriptions die without periodic renewal, which is why the source suggests pairing `--all` with a cron job.

## Requirements
- Works with: Google Workspace

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **claude-code-templates**
```bash
npx claude-code-templates@latest --command google-workspace/gws-events-renew
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/commands/gws-events-renew.md` — Call it with /gws-events-renew. For all projects use ~/.claude/commands/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.codex/prompts/gws-events-renew.md` — Call it with /prompts:gws-events-renew. Codex marks this format deprecated in favour of skills

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/prompts/gws-events-renew.prompt.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.gemini/commands/gws-events-renew.toml` — Gemini stores commands as TOML: the prompt text goes into the prompt field

## When to use it
- renew a Workspace Events subscription before it lapses
- reactivate one subscription by its name
- refresh every subscription expiring soon
- schedule recurring renewal from cron
- check the method schema and required parameters before calling

## Example prompts
- Renew the subscription `subscriptions/SUB_ID` with gws-events-renew
