What it does

This skill gives an AI agent a short recipe for setting up a Google Classroom course from the command line. Once installed, the agent can create a course with a name, section and room, send an invitation to a student's email address, and list the students already enrolled. It does this by running the gws command-line tool with the right arguments, relying on another skill (gws-classroom) for the underlying Classroom commands.

Great for

  • Teachers or school staff who want to set up classes quickly through an AI agent
  • Administrators scripting repeated course setup for many classes
  • Developers building Classroom automation who want a working example of the gws CLI

Skip it if

  • Anyone without a Google account authorized for Classroom, since the commands will fail without credentials (the file does not describe setup)
  • Bulk or unsupervised invitations, since the agent would send real invitations to real email addresses and the recipe does not include confirmation steps

Try asking

  • “Create a Google Classroom course called Introduction to CS in section Period 1 in Room 101”
  • “Invite student@school.edu to my course as a student”
  • “List all students enrolled in my Classroom course”

  3. 3

    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

  • Replace the placeholder COURSE_ID with the actual course ID returned when the course is created before inviting or listing students.
  • Review the email address and course details before the agent runs the invitation command, since it creates real records in your Google Classroom.
  • Make sure the gws-classroom skill is installed alongside this recipe, otherwise the steps will not have the commands they depend on.
