What gws-chat-send does

The skill wires up gws chat +send with two required flags: --space and --text. The first takes a space name like spaces/AAAA..., the second takes the message body as plain text.

What's inside is the command reference plus a pointer to gws-shared for auth and global flags. You need the gws binary installed and authenticated before this works. Space names are easiest to find with gws chat spaces list.

It's a write command, so the skill tells you to confirm with the user before running it. Cards and threaded replies aren't covered — those go through the raw API. Worth installing if you push notifications into Google Chat from an agent; skip it if you need to read conversations or send anything richer than text.

What it helps with

  • post a message to a Google Chat space from the terminal
  • notify a team that a build finished
  • hand text to an agent for delivery into chat
  • look up a space name before sending
  • fire off a short update without opening a browser

Example prompts for the agent

  • Send 'Hello team!' to spaces/AAAAxxxx
  • Post a note to Google Chat that the deploy went through
  • List the spaces, then send a message to the right one
