Google Classroom: Manage classes, rosters, and coursework.
— the description by Google Workspace

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

The gws-classroom skill provides a command-line interface for interacting with the Google Classroom API. It enables administrators and users to programmatically manage educational environments, including course creation, student and teacher enrollment, grading period settings, and notification registrations. The tool supports granular control over various Classroom resources, allowing for automated administrative tasks within the Google Workspace ecosystem.

What it does

  • Create, update, and delete Google Classroom courses.
  • Manage course rosters by adding or removing students and teachers.
  • Configure grading period settings for specific courses.
  • Handle course invitations for students and faculty.
  • Register for push notifications via Cloud Pub/Sub feeds.
  • Retrieve user profiles and guardian information.

When to use it

  • Automating the provisioning of new classes at the start of a term.
  • Bulk management of student or teacher enrollments across multiple courses.
  • Syncing grading period configurations across a school domain.
  • Setting up automated event notifications for classroom activities.

Advantages

  • Enables programmatic control over classroom administration.
  • Supports domain-wide management for administrators.
  • Integrates directly into existing command-line workflows.
  • Provides structured access to complex Classroom API resources.

Usage examples

“List all courses I am currently enrolled in or teaching.”
The agent executes the list method on the courses resource to return a chronological list of accessible classrooms.
“Create a new course titled 'Introduction to AI' with me as the owner.”
The agent calls the create method on the courses resource with the specified title and owner parameters.
