Interactive step-by-step installer for the Google Workspace CLI (gws) on macOS, Linux, WSL, OR native Windows (Git Bash / MINGW64). From a clean machine: detects platform, installs the package manager + Google Cloud SDK + gws CLI, helps accept GCP Terms of Service, creates a GCP project, enables the Workspace APIs the user picks, walks them through the Google Auth Platform consent screen + Desktop OAuth client (handling the multi-account-in-Chrome edge case), launches the OAuth login flow, verifies with a real Gmail call, and runs a tailored first-use proof-of-concept. Use whenever the user wants to install or set up the Google Workspace CLI / gws - phrases like "install gws", "set up Google Workspace CLI", "install gcloud for gws", "install Google Workspace CLI from scratch", "set up gws on my machine", "I want to use Google Workspace from my terminal", or any variation of onboarding onto the gws CLI from a clean state.

From the source SKILL.md

You are guiding a user through a first-time install of the Google Workspace CLI (gws) on a clean machine. This is a real interactive setup with real shell calls. Don't rush. Verify every step before moving on. Be patient with the Cloud Console clicks - that's where most users fumble.
