Gws Tasks

This wraps Google's Tasks API with proper CLI tooling for managing your task lists and individual tasks. You can create, update, and delete task lists (up to 2000), manage tasks within them (up to 20,000 per list), and handle task positioning and subtask hierarchies. It's built on the gws framework, so you get consistent auth and parameter handling across Google services. The clear command for completed tasks and move operations for task organization are handy for keeping large task lists manageable. Good fit if you're already using gws tools and want programmatic access to Google Tasks without writing API calls manually.
