Description
Google Chat: Send a message to a space.
README (SKILL.md)
chat +send
PREREQUISITE: Read
../gws-shared/SKILL.mdfor auth, global flags, and security rules. If missing, rungws generate-skillsto create it.
Send a message to a space
Usage
gws chat +send --space \x3CNAME> --text \x3CTEXT>
Flags
| Flag | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
--space |
✓ | — | Space name (e.g. spaces/AAAA...) |
--text |
✓ | — | Message text (plain text) |
Examples
gws chat +send --space spaces/AAAAxxxx --text 'Hello team!'
Tips
- Use 'gws chat spaces list' to find space names.
- For cards or threaded replies, use the raw API instead.
[!CAUTION] This is a write command — confirm with the user before executing.

Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a thin wrapper around the local 'gws' CLI for sending Google Chat messages, which is reasonable — but it hides authentication and security behavior in a separate file (../gws-shared/SKILL.md). Before installing or enabling it: 1) open and inspect ../gws-shared/SKILL.md (or the output of `gws generate-skills`) to see exactly how auth is obtained and where any tokens/credentials are stored; 2) verify the 'gws' binary on your system (how it was installed, its vendor, and that it is the expected tool); 3) confirm you’re comfortable with a write-capable action that can post messages on your behalf and require explicit user confirmation before executing. If the shared file shows only benign global flags and standard user OAuth flows (with explicit consent) and you trust the gws binary source, the risk is low; if it references service account keys, secret files, or remote endpoints for token storage, do not enable the skill without further review.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: gws-chat-send
Version: 1.0.12
The skill bundle provides instructions for an AI agent to send Google Chat messages using the 'gws' CLI tool. The documentation in SKILL.md is consistent with its stated purpose, includes appropriate safety warnings for write operations, and contains no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description map to the requested binary (gws) and the documented CLI invocation (gws chat +send). Requiring the gws CLI is coherent with sending Google Chat messages.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md instructs the agent to read ../gws-shared/SKILL.md for auth, global flags, and security rules. That directs the agent to read a file outside this skill's bundle (potentially exposing or relying on credentials or other sensitive configuration) and to run gws generate-skills if it's missing. Instructions that reference external skill files or create files on disk broaden the scope and should be inspected before use.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — lowest install risk. Note: the guidance to run `gws generate-skills` can create files, but that action is a separate CLI operation rather than an automatic install step of this skill.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials, yet explicitly defers auth to a shared SKILL.md. This omission hides where credentials come from (user OAuth vs service account vs stored tokens). The lack of declared credentials makes it unclear what secrets the agent will need or access.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked always:true and has no install-time persistence. It can be invoked autonomously per platform defaults, which is expected for a CLI-integrating skill and not, by itself, a new risk.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install gws-chat-send - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/gws-chat-send - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
