Inside this skill

5 instruction sections

The Skill's stated operation is to send a plain-text message through the `gws` command to a caller-specified Google Chat space; both the destination and message content are supplied by the caller.

```bashgws chat +send --space <NAME> --text <TEXT>```

|------|----------|---------|-------------|| `--space` | ✓ | — | Space name (e.g. spaces/AAAA...) || `--text` | ✓ | — | Message text (plain text) |

Sending a message is a write action affecting an external account. The Skill explicitly requires user confirmation before execution, which can prevent unapproved sending when the agent follows that instruction.

> [!CAUTION]> This is a **write** command — confirm with the user before executing.

The Skill depends on the local `gws` program and requires a separate shared Skill, not included in the supplied source, for authentication, global flags, and security rules; if absent, it directs the agent to run a generation command. Because neither the shared file nor the `gws` implementation is provided, these materials do not allow verification of authorization scope, credential handling, or which files the generation command creates.
