+### Helper Commands
+
+Some services ship hand-crafted helper commands alongside the auto-generated Discovery surface. Helper commands are prefixed with `+` so they are visually distinct and never collide with Discovery-generated method names.
+
+Run `gws <service> --help` to see both Discovery methods and helper commands together.
+
+```bash
+gws gmail --help      # shows +send, +reply, +reply-all, +forward, +triage, +watch …
+gws calendar --help   # shows +insert, +agenda …
+gws drive --help      # shows +upload …
+```
+
