google-workspace
This Claude Code skill integrates Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, Sheets, and Docs through Moltis-managed OAuth2 authentication. Use it when you need multi-service Google Workspace access with automatic fallback from the Google Workspace CLI (`gws`) to bundled Python client libraries, and consult the included Gmail search syntax reference for advanced email filtering.

# Google Workspace
Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, Sheets, and Docs — through Moltis-managed OAuth and a thin CLI wrapper. When `gws` is installed, the skill uses it as the execution backend for broader Google Workspace coverage; otherwise it falls back to the bundled Python client implementation.
## References
- `references/gmail-search-syntax.md` — Gmail search operators (is:unread, from:, newer_than:, etc.)
## Scripts
- `scripts/setup.py` — OAuth2 setup (run once to authorize)
- `scripts/google_api.py` — compatibility wrapper CLI. It prefers `gws` for operations when available, while preserving Moltis' existing JSON output contract.
## First-Time Setup
The setup is fully non-interactive — you drive it step by step so it works
on CLI, Telegram, Discord, or any platform.
Define a shorthand first:
```bash
GSETUP="python ${SKILL_DIR}/skills/productivity/google-workspace/scripts/setup.py"
```
### Step 0: Check if already set up
```bash
$GSETUP --check
```
If it prints `AUTHENTICATED`, skip to Usage — setup is already done.
### Step 1: Triage — ask the user what they need
Before starting OAuth setup, ask the user TWO questions:
**Question 1: "What Google services do you need? Just email, or also
Calendar/Drive/Sheets/Docs?"**
- **Email only** → They don't need this skill at all. Use the `himalaya` skill
instead — it works with a Gmail App Password (Settings → Security → App
Passwords) and takes 2 minutes to set up. No Google Cloud project needed.
Load the himalaya skill and follow its setup instructions.
- **Email + Calendar** → Continue with this skill, but use
`--services email,calendar` during auth so the consent screen only asks for
the scopes they actually need.
- **Calendar/Drive/Sheets/Docs only** → Continue with this skill and use a
narrower `--services` set like `calendar,drive,sheets,docs`.
- **Full Workspace access** → Continue with this skill and use the default
`all` service set.
**Question 2: "Does your Google account use Advanced Protection (hardware
security keys required to sign in)? If you're not sure, you probably don't
— it's something you would have explicitly enrolled in."**
- **No / Not sure** → Normal setup. Continue below.
- **Yes** → Their Workspace admin must add the OAuth client ID to the org's
allowed apps list before Step 4 will work. Let them know upfront.
### Step 2: Create OAuth credentials (one-time, ~5 minutes)
Tell the user:
> You need a Google Cloud OAuth client. This is a one-time setup:
>
> 1. Create or select a project:
> https://console.cloud.google.com/projectselector2/home/dashboard
> 2. Enable the required APIs from the API Library:
> https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library
> Enable: Gmail API, Google Calendar API, Google Drive API,
> Google Sheets API, Google Docs API, People API
> 3. Create the OAuth client here:
> https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials
> Credentials → Create Credentials → OAuth 2.0 Client ID
> 4. Application type: "Desktop app" → Create
> 5. If the app is still in Testing, add the user's Google account as a test user here:
> https://console.cloud.google.com/auth/audience
> Audience → Test users → Add users
> 6. Download the JSON file and tell me the file path
>
> Important Moltis CLI note: if the file path starts with `/`, do NOT send only the bare path as its own message in the CLI, because it can be mistaken for a slash command. Send it in a sentence instead, like:
> `The JSON file path is: /home/user/Downloads/client_secret_....json`
Once they provide the path:
```bash
$GSETUP --client-secret /path/to/client_secret.json
```
If they paste the raw client ID / client secret values instead of a file path,
write a valid Desktop OAuth JSON file for them yourself, save it somewhere
explicit (for example `~/Downloads/google-client-secret.json`), then run
`--client-secret` against that file.
### Step 3: Get authorization URL
Use the service set chosen in Step 1. Examples:
```bash
$GSETUP --auth-url --services email,calendar --format json
$GSETUP --auth-url --services calendar,drive,sheets,docs --format json
$GSETUP --auth-url --services all --format json
```
This returns JSON with an `auth_url` field and also saves the exact URL to
`~/.moltis/google_oauth_last_url.txt`.
Agent rules for this step:
- Extract the `auth_url` field and send that exact URL to the user as a single line.
- Tell the user that the browser will likely fail on `http://localhost:1` after approval, and that this is expected.
- Tell them to copy the ENTIRE redirected URL from the browser address bar.
- If the user gets `Error 403: access_denied`, send them directly to `https://console.cloud.google.com/auth/audience` to add themselves as a test user.
### Step 4: Exchange the code
The user will paste back either a URL like `http://localhost:1/?code=4/0A...&scope=...`
or just the code string. Either works. The `--auth-url` step stores a temporary
pending OAuth session locally so `--auth-code` can complete the PKCE exchange
later, even on headless systems:
```bash
$GSETUP --auth-code "THE_URL_OR_CODE_THE_USER_PASTED" --format json
```
If `--auth-code` fails because the code expired, was already used, or came from
an older browser tab, it now returns a fresh `fresh_auth_url`. In that case,
immediately send the new URL to the user and have them retry with the newest
browser redirect only.
### Step 5: Verify
```bash
$GSETUP --check
```
Should print `AUTHENTICATED`. Setup is complete — token refreshes automatically from now on.
### Notes
- Token is stored at `~/.moltis/google_token.json` and auto-refreshes.
- Pending OAuth session state/verifier are stored temporarily at `~/.moltis/google_oauth_pending.json` until exchange completes.
- If `gws` is installed, `google_api.py` points it at the same `~/.moltis/google_token.json` credentials file. Users do not need to run a separate `gws auth login` flow.
- To revoke: `$GSETUP --revoke`
