## What it does

The command talks to the Google Workspace CLI and returns your next upcoming event: agenda, attendees, description and document links. It reads only, nothing gets modified.

Under the hood it wraps `gws workflow +meeting-prep`. Pick a calendar with `--calendar` (defaults to `primary`) and an output shape with `--format` — json, table, yaml or csv. Check `gws --version` and `gws auth status` first: no `gws` binary or no configured auth means the command goes nowhere. Use `gws schema` if you want to see the method parameters before calling it.

You need the Google Workspace CLI installed and authenticated. Worth having when your calendar is packed and you want the context in the terminal instead of a browser tab.

## Requirements
- Works with: Google Workspace
