What it does

This skill teaches an AI agent how to use the gws command-line tool to renew Google Workspace Events subscriptions, which otherwise lapse if not refreshed periodically. The agent can renew one named subscription or every subscription expiring within a chosen time window, such as the next two days. It relies on the shared gws authentication and settings described in a companion skill.

Great for

  • Administrators or developers who run Google Workspace Events subscriptions and need to keep them active
  • Engineers scripting a scheduled job that refreshes subscriptions before they expire

Skip it if

  • Users who have never set up Google Workspace Events, since the skill only renews existing subscriptions and does not create them (renewing changes live subscription state in their Google account)
  • Anyone without the gws CLI installed and authenticated, because the agent cannot complete the task without it

Try asking

  • “Renew the Workspace Events subscription named subscriptions/SUB_ID”
  • “Renew all subscriptions expiring within the next 2 days”
  • “Check which subscriptions expire within 30 minutes and reactivate them”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Pass a specific subscription name with --name when you know which one to renew, and use --all only when you want a bulk refresh.
  • Set up a cron job running gws events +renew --all --within with a window longer than your job interval so subscriptions never lapse.
  • Run gws events +renew --help first to confirm flags in your installed version (0.22.5).
