SKILL.md Source
# apps-script (v1) > **PREREQUISITE:** Read `../gws-shared/SKILL.md` for auth, global flags, and security rules. If missing, run `gws generate-skills` to create it. ```bash gws apps-script <resource> <method> [flags] ``` ## Helper Commands | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | [`+push`](../gws-apps-script-push/SKILL.md) | Upload local files to an Apps Script project | ## API Resources ### processes - `list` — List information about processes made by or on behalf of a user, such as process type and current status. - `listScriptProcesses` — List information about a script's executed processes, such as process type and current status. ### projects - `create` — Creates a new, empty script project with no script files and a base manifest file. - `get` — Gets a script project's metadata. - `getContent` — Gets the content of the script project, including the code source and metadata for each script file. - `getMetrics` — Get metrics data for scripts, such as number of executions and active users. - `updateContent` — Updates the content of the specified script project. This content is stored as the HEAD version, and is used when the script is executed as a trigger, in the script editor, in add-on preview mode, or as a web app or Apps Script API in development mode. This clears all the existing files in the project. - `deployments` — Operations on the 'deployments' resource - `versions` — Operations on the 'versions' resource ### scripts - `run` — ## Discovering Commands Before calling any API method, inspect it: ```bash # Browse resources and methods gws apps-script --help # Inspect a method's required params, types, and defaults gws schema apps-script.<resource>.<method> ``` Use `gws schema` output to build your `--params` and `--json` flags.

use-zod
Answer questions about the Zod schema validation library and help build schemas, parsers, refinements, transforms, codecs, and error formatters. Use when developers: (1) ask about Zod APIs like `z.object`, `z.string`, `z.array`, `z.union`, `z.discriminatedUnion`, `parse`, `safeParse`, `z.infer`; (2) define request/response/form schemas in TypeScript; (3) handle `ZodError` or customize error messages; (4) migrate between Zod v3 and v4 (entry-point split, `formatError` → `treeifyError`/`prettifyError`, unified `error` param replacing `message`/`errorMap`). Triggers on: "zod", "z.object", "z.string", "z.array", "z.union", "z.infer", "z.input", "z.output", "ZodError", "$ZodError", "safeParse", "parseAsync", "z.codec", "treeifyError", "prettifyError", "flattenError", "discriminatedUnion", "zod/v4", "zod/v3", "zod/mini", "z.coerce", "superRefine".
workflow
Creates durable, resumable workflows using Vercel's Workflow SDK. Use when building workflows that need to survive restarts, pause for external events, retry on failure, or coordinate multi-step operations over time. Triggers on mentions of "workflow", "durable functions", "resumable", "workflow sdk", "queue", "event", "push", "subscribe", or step-based orchestration.
