Problem
The README documents selective skill installation:
npx skills add https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli/tree/main/skills/gws-drive
This installs only gws-drive/SKILL.md, but the skill's PREREQUISITE line says:
Read ../gws-shared/SKILL.md for auth, global flags, and security rules. If missing, run gws generate-skills to create it.
Two issues:
-
gws-shared is not installed — the npx skills CLI doesn't resolve cross-skill references. An AI agent following this skill will lack authentication instructions, global flags, and security rules.
-
gws generate-skills doesn't exist — this command is referenced in every service-level skill's PREREQUISITE line, but there's no such subcommand in the CLI. It appears to be orphaned documentation.
Suggested fixes
Option A (skill-side): Add a depends field to each skill's frontmatter (requires upstream support in vercel-labs/skills — see vercel-labs/skills#860):
Option B (docs-side): Update the selective install docs to explicitly include gws-shared:
# Always install the shared skill first
npx skills add .../skills/gws-shared
npx skills add .../skills/gws-drive
Option C (CLI-side): Implement the gws generate-skills command referenced in the PREREQUISITE lines, or remove the reference if it's not planned.
