AutoGineer summary

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

The gws-forms skill provides a command-line interface to interact with Google Forms. It allows users to programmatically read form details, create new forms, perform batch updates, and manage form responses and watches. It is designed to be used as part of the broader gws toolset, requiring proper authentication and configuration as defined in the shared gws documentation.

What it does

  • Create new Google Forms with specified titles.
  • Retrieve existing form data and configurations.
  • Execute batch updates to modify form structures.
  • Manage form publish settings.
  • Interact with form responses and watch resources.

When to use it

  • When you need to automate the creation of Google Forms.
  • When you need to programmatically update form content or settings.
  • When you need to extract data or monitor responses from Google Forms via CLI.

Advantages

  • Enables programmatic control over Google Forms.
  • Integrates directly into existing gws workflows.
  • Supports batch operations for efficient form management.

Usage examples

“Create a new Google Form titled 'Customer Feedback Survey'.”
The agent uses the gws forms create method to initialize a new, empty form with the specified title.
“Get the details of the form with ID 12345.”
The agent executes the gws forms get command to retrieve the full configuration and metadata of the specified form.

API Resources

forms
  • batchUpdate — Change the form with a batch of updates.

  • create — Create a new form using the title given in the provided form message in the request. Important: Only the form.info.title and form.info.document_title fields are copied to the new form. All other fields including the form description, items and settings are disallowed. To create a new form and add items, you must first call forms.create to create an empty form with a title and (optional) document title, and then call forms.update to add the items.

  • get — Get a form.

  • setPublishSettings — Updates the publish settings of a form. Legacy forms aren't supported because they don't have the publish_settings field.

  • responses — Operations on the 'responses' resource

  • watches — Operations on the 'watches' resource

Discovering Commands

Before calling any API method, inspect it:

# Browse resources and methods
gws forms --help

# Inspect a method's required params, types, and defaults
gws schema forms.<resource>.<method>

Use gws schema output to build your --params and --json flags.
