What problem does it solve?
You are drowning in Gmail and Calendar context switches while trying to ship, and ad-hoc agent prompts forget triage order, conflict checks, and meeting prep.
Who is it for?
Solo builders who live in Google Workspace and want a consistent EA ritual wired to gws commands and table-formatted scans.
Skip if: Teams on Microsoft 365 or builders without the gws CLI and prerequisite gws-* utility skills installed.
When should I use this skill?
Manage an executive's schedule, inbox, and communications using Google Workspace via gws.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent follows a standup → triage → prep → schedule → draft loop with gws workflows, leaving you a confirmed agenda and professional drafts instead of scattered tabs.
- Daily standup agenda and open tasks summary
- Meeting prep brief per calendar event
- Triaged inbox view and drafted Gmail replies
