What recipe-create-task-list does

This skill guides the agent through creating task lists in Google Tasks. It runs a predefined sequence of gws commands: creating the list with gws tasks tasklists insert, adding tasks with notes and due dates, and printing the result as a table.

Prerequisites are strict. You must have the gws binary installed on your machine and the gws-tasks skill loaded. Without those, the execution will fail immediately.

Install it if you routinely provision structured task boards in Google Workspace. If you only manage tasks occasionally, invoking gws directly is faster.

What it helps with

  • create a new task list in Google Tasks
  • add tasks with notes and due dates from the command line
  • output formatted task tables after setup

Example prompts for the agent

  • Create a Q2 Goals task list in Google Tasks with starter milestones
  • Set up a new task list with initial review items and due dates
