GWS CLI Installation & OAuth Setup

Task

Install Google Workspace CLI (gws v0.18.1), configure OAuth for personal Gmail, consolidate 94 source skills into one definitive reference, create NOVA recommendation handoff.

Outcome

  • Binary installed globally, OAuth with 16 scopes, 660-line consolidated skill, all services smoke-tested, NOVA handoff created.

Key Learnings

  • GCP Internal consent screen blocks personal Gmail — create project under personal account.
  • Google Keep API restricted for personal Gmail OAuth.
  • Headless OAuth: redirect_uri=localhost, copy failed redirect URL, extract code, exchange via curl.
  • 94 skills → 1 skill + gws schema for on-demand deep reference.
