Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/intellectronica/agent-skills --skill gog-cli- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads gog-cli automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

gogcli (gog)
gog is a fast, script-friendly CLI for Google services. It is JSON-first, supports multiple accounts/OAuth clients, and has explicit guardrails for agent and CI usage.
Authoritative upstream: https://github.com/steipete/gogcli
This skill was refreshed against upstream gog v0.13.0 (2026-04-20). When exact syntax matters, run gog <command> --help or gog schema --json; the command surface moves quickly, rather inconveniently for anyone fond of stale notes.
Operating rules
- Prefer
gog --json ... | jq ...for inspection and scripting. - Use
--plainonly when stable TSV is more convenient than JSON. - Use
--dry-runfor supported mutating operations when preparing a change or when user intent is ambiguous. - Use
--no-inputin automation so commands fail instead of prompting. - Use
--forceonly when the user asked for the destructive/public/send/admin operation or after you have clearly explained the effect. - Do not repair OAuth, consent, keyring, or Workspace delegation problems silently. Show the exact command the user should run.
- Do not export tokens, print secrets, open public shares, add delegates/forwarding, send mail, suspend users, or permanently delete data unless the user explicitly requested that action.
- For agent runs that must not send mail, add
--gmail-no-send, setGOG_GMAIL_NO_SEND=1, or configuregog config no-send set <account>.
Install and auth
brew install gogcli
gog auth credentials set ~/Downloads/client_secret_....json
gog auth add you@example.com --services gmail,calendar,drive
gog auth list --check
Notes:
- Homebrew now uses
brew install gogcli; old tap examples are obsolete. gog auth adddefaults to--services user. Request the services needed for the task.--services allis accepted only as a backwards-compatible alias foruser; do not use it when you need every API.- Use
--readonly,--drive-scope readonly|file|full, and--gmail-scope readonly|fullfor least privilege. - Keep and Admin require Workspace service-account/domain-wide delegation. Google Chat, Groups, directory, and Classroom also have Workspace restrictions.
- For headless/CI, consider
--manual,--remote,--access-token, orGOG_AUTH_MODE=adc.
Read references/authentication.md for full auth patterns.
