acl

• delete — Deletes an access control rule.

• insert — Creates an access control rule.
• list — Returns the rules in the access control list for the calendar.
• patch — Updates an access control rule. This method supports patch semantics.
• update — Updates an access control rule.
• watch — Watch for changes to ACL resources.

calendarList

• delete — Removes a calendar from the user's calendar list.
• get — Returns a calendar from the user's calendar list.
• insert — Inserts an existing calendar into the user's calendar list.
• list — Returns the calendars on the user's calendar list.
• patch — Updates an existing calendar on the user's calendar list. This method supports patch semantics.

• watch — Watch for changes to CalendarList resources.

calendars

• clear — Clears a primary calendar. This operation deletes all events associated with the primary calendar of an account.
• delete — Deletes a secondary calendar. Use calendars.clear for clearing all events on primary calendars.
• get — Returns metadata for a calendar.
• insert — Creates a secondary calendar. The authenticated user for the request is made the data owner of the new calendar.

Note: We recommend to authenticate as the intended data owner of the calendar. You can use domain-wide delegation of authority to allow applications to act on behalf of a specific user. Don't use a service account for authentication. If you use a service account for authentication, the service account is the data owner, which can lead to unexpected behavior.

• patch — Updates metadata for a calendar. This method supports patch semantics.
• update — Updates metadata for a calendar.

channels

• stop — Stop watching resources through this channel

colors

• get — Returns the color definitions for calendars and events.

events

• delete — Deletes an event.
• get — Returns an event based on its Google Calendar ID. To retrieve an event using its iCalendar ID, call the events.list method using the iCalUID parameter.
• import — Imports an event. This operation is used to add a private copy of an existing event to a calendar. Only events with an eventType of default may be imported. Deprecated behavior: If a non-default event is imported, its type will be changed to default and any event-type-specific properties it may have will be dropped.
• insert — Creates an event.
• instances — Returns instances of the specified recurring event.
• list — Returns events on the specified calendar.
• move — Moves an event to another calendar, i.e. changes an event's organizer. Note that only default events can be moved; birthday, focusTime, fromGmail, outOfOffice and workingLocation events cannot be moved.

Discovering Commands

Before calling any API method, inspect it:

# Browse resources and methods
gws calendar --help

# Inspect a method's required params, types, and defaults
gws schema calendar.<resource>.<method>

Use gws schema output to build your --params and --json flags.

Skill Installer

Helps install skills. By default these are from https://github.com/openai/skills/tree/main/skills/.curated, but users can also provide other locations.

Use the helper scripts based on the task:

• List skills when the user asks what is available, or if the user uses this skill without specifying what to do. Default listing is .curated, but you can pass --path skills/.experimental when they ask about experimental skills.
• Install from the curated list when the user provides a skill name.
• Install from another repo when the user provides a GitHub repo/path (including private repos).

Install skills with the helper scripts.

Communication

When listing skills, output approximately as follows, depending on the context of the user's request. If they ask about experimental skills, list from .experimental instead of .curated and label the source accordingly: """ Skills from {repo}:

1. skill-1
2. skill-2 (already installed)
3. ... Which ones would you like installed? """

After installing a skill, tell the user: "Restart Codex to pick up new skills."

Scripts

All of these scripts use network, so when running in the sandbox, request escalation when running them.

• scripts/list-skills.py (prints skills list with installed annotations)
• scripts/list-skills.py --format json
• Example (experimental list): scripts/list-skills.py --path skills/.experimental
• scripts/install-skill-from-github.py --repo <owner>/<repo> --path <path/to/skill> [<path/to/skill> ...]
• scripts/install-skill-from-github.py --url https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/tree/<ref>/<path>
• Example (experimental skill): scripts/install-skill-from-github.py --repo openai/skills --path skills/.experimental/<skill-name>

Behavior and Options

• Defaults to direct download for public GitHub repos.
• If download fails with auth/permission errors, falls back to git sparse checkout.
• Aborts if the destination skill directory already exists.
• Installs into $CODEX_HOME/skills/<skill-name> (defaults to ~/.codex/skills).
• Multiple --path values install multiple skills in one run, each named from the path basename unless --name is supplied.
• Options: --ref <ref> (default main), --dest <path>, --method auto|download|git.

Notes

• Curated listing is fetched from https://github.com/openai/skills/tree/main/skills/.curated via the GitHub API. If it is unavailable, explain the error and exit.
• Private GitHub repos can be accessed via existing git credentials or optional GITHUB_TOKEN/GH_TOKEN for download.
• Git fallback tries HTTPS first, then SSH.
• The skills at https://github.com/openai/skills/tree/main/skills/.system are preinstalled, so no need to help users install those. If they ask, just explain this. If they insist, you can download and overwrite.
• Installed annotations come from $CODEX_HOME/skills.
