Google Contacts and profiles management via the People API.
Works with
Manage contact groups with create, update, delete, and batch operations; contact group names must be unique per user
Create, update, and batch-manage individual contacts with support for photos, metadata, and field-level control via update_mask
Search contacts across grouped contacts, other contacts, and domain directory with warmup request requirement for cache optimization
List and sync contacts incrementally using sync
AI-first code editor with Composer
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versiongws-peopleExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches gws-people from googleworkspace/cli and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate gws-people. Access via /gws-people in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

batchGet — Get a list of contact groups owned by the authenticated user by specifying a list of contact group resource names.create — Create a new contact group owned by the authenticated user. Created contact group names must be unique to the users contact groups. Attempting to create a group with a duplicate name will return a HTTP 409 error. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.delete — Delete an existing contact group owned by the authenticated user by specifying a contact group resource name. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.get — Get a specific contact group owned by the authenticated user by specifying a contact group resource name.list — List all contact groups owned by the authenticated user. Members of the contact groups are not populated.update — Update the name of an existing contact group owned by the authenticated user. Updated contact group names must be unique to the users contact groups. Attempting to create a group with a duplicate name will return a HTTP 409 error. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.members — Operations on the 'members' resourcecopyOtherContactToMyContactsGroup — Copies an "Other contact" to a new contact in the user's "myContacts" group Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.list — List all "Other contacts", that is contacts that are not in a contact group. "Other contacts" are typically auto created contacts from interactions. Sync tokens expire 7 days after the full sync. A request with an expired sync token will get an error with an google.rpc.ErrorInfo with reason "EXPIRED_SYNC_TOKEN". In the case of such an error clients should make a full sync request without a sync_token.search — Provides a list of contacts in the authenticated user's other contacts that matches the search query. The query matches on a contact's names, emailAddresses, and phoneNumbers fields that are from the OTHER_CONTACT source. IMPORTANT: Before searching, clients should send a warmup request with an empty query to update the cache. See https://developers.google.com/people/v1/other-contacts#search_the_users_other_contactsbatchCreateContacts — Create a batch of new contacts and return the PersonResponses for the newly Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.batchUpdateContacts — Update a batch of contacts and return a map of resource names to PersonResponses for the updated contacts. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.createContact — Create a new contact and return the person resource for that contact. The request returns a 400 error if more than one field is specified on a field that is a singleton for contact sources: * biographies * birthdays * genders * names Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.deleteContactPhoto — Delete a contact's photo. Mutate requests for the same user should be done sequentially to avoid // lock contention.get — Provides information about a person by specifying a resource name. Use people/me to indicate the authenticated user. The request returns a 400 error if 'personFields' is not specified.getBatchGet — Provides information about a list of specific people by specifying a list of requested resource names. Use people/me to indicate the authenticated user. The request returns a 400 error if 'personFields' is not specified.listDirectoryPeople — Provides a list of domain profiles and domain contacts in the authenticated user's domain directory. When the sync_token is specified, resources deleted since the last sync will be returned as a person with PersonMetadata.deleted set to true. When the page_token or sync_token is specified, all other request parameters must match the first call. Writes may have a propagation delay of several minutes for sync requests. Incremental syncs are not intended for read-after-write use cases.searchContacts — Provides a list of contacts in the authenticated user's grouped contacts that matches the search query. The query matches on a contact's names, nickNames, emailAddresses, phoneNumbers, and organizations fields that are from the CONTACT source. IMPORTANT: Before searching, clients should send a warmup request with an empty query to update the cache. See https://developers.google.com/people/v1/contacts#search_the_users_contactssearchDirectoryPeople — Provides a list of domain profiles and domain contacts in the authenticated user's domain directory that match the search query.updateContact — Update contact data for an existing contact person. Any non-contact data will not be modified. Any non-contact data in the person to update will be ignored. All fields specified in the update_mask will be replaced. The server returns a 400 error if person.metadata.sources is not specified for the contact to be updated or if there is no contact source.updateContactPhoto — Update a contact's photo. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.connections — Operations on the 'connections' resourceBefore calling any API method, inspect it:
# Browse resources and methods
gws people --help
# Inspect a method's required params, types, and defaults
gws schema people.<resource>.<method>
Use gws schema output to build your --params and --json flags.

Steps
Common Pitfalls
✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
