What it does

When installed, the agent can look through your Google Tasks lists using the gws command-line tool, pull up the tasks you haven't finished, and go through their due dates to show which ones are overdue and should be dealt with first. It works by running a few read-only list commands and then reasoning over the results. It depends on a companion skill, gws-tasks, for the underlying Google Tasks access.

Great for

  • People who keep to-do lists in Google Tasks and want a quick overdue check
  • Anyone who wants an agent to triage a backlog of unfinished tasks by urgency

Skip it if

  • Users who do not have the gws CLI installed and authenticated, since the skill cannot read tasks without it
  • Teams relying on other task managers such as Asana or Trello, which this skill does not touch

Try asking

  • “Show me my overdue Google Tasks and rank them by how late they are”
  • “List my open task lists and tell me which tasks need attention today”
  • “Review my unfinished tasks and prioritize the overdue ones”

  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

  • Ask the agent to name the task list you care about so it does not need to guess the TASKLIST_ID
  • Review the commands it runs before approving them, since they call your live Google account
  • Make sure gws is installed and logged in first, otherwise the steps will fail
