## What it does

This skill guides the agent on how to structure operations across Google Workspace services. Before generating code, it maps the request to the proper execution layer: Apps Script for native UI menus and triggers, direct REST APIs for backend workers, or Admin SDK for domain management.

It also enforces identity and credential boundaries. The skill distinguishes between OAuth user flows, service accounts, and domain-wide delegation to minimize assigned scopes. Direct REST API calls require Python 3.8+ along with `google-api-python-client` and `google-auth`.

## Requirements
- Works with: Google Workspace, Gmail

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akillness/jeo-skills --skill google-workspace -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/google-workspace/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/google-workspace/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akillness/jeo-skills --skill google-workspace -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/google-workspace/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akillness/jeo-skills --skill google-workspace -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/google-workspace/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install akillness/jeo-skills google-workspace
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/google-workspace/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akillness/jeo-skills --skill google-workspace -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/akillness/jeo-skills --path .agent-skills/google-workspace
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/google-workspace/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akillness/jeo-skills --skill google-workspace -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/akillness/jeo-skills/tree/HEAD/.agent-skills/google-workspace/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- route automation workflows between Apps Script and direct REST APIs
- connect Google Forms responses to Google Sheets and Gmail triggers
- select correct OAuth or service account scopes for Workspace services
- manage permissions, file uploads, and folder hierarchies on Google Drive

## Example prompts
- Set up a Google Sheets script that triggers an email via Gmail whenever a new row appears.
- Build a Python backend service to upload generated reports directly to a shared Google Drive.
- Help me route responses from Google Forms into a spreadsheet and create matching Google Calendar events.

  Plan and execute Google Workspace operations across Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive,

# Google Workspace

Use this skill to route Google Workspace work before writing code or pasting API snippets. The key decision is usually **which Workspace surface should own the job**:

- **Apps Script** for Workspace-native automation close to Sheets / Docs / Forms / triggers / menus
- **Direct REST API + client libraries** for backend services, multi-system integrations, stronger deployment control, or language flexibility
- **Admin SDK / admin-only APIs** for users, groups, org units, directory data, or domain-wide governance tasks

## When to use this skill

- Create or update Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive files/folders, Gmail messages, Calendar events, Forms, or Chat messages
- Design a Workspace automation flow such as Form → Sheet → Gmail / Calendar / Drive
- Decide between Apps Script and direct REST APIs
- Choose the right auth model: OAuth user flow, service account, or domain-wide delegation
- Review scopes, sharing model, quota/execution risk, or safety boundaries before implementation
- Handle Workspace admin tasks that ordinary Docs/Sheets/Gmail code should not absorb

## Instructions

### Step 1: Classify the request

Capture five things before touching any API:

1. **Primary product surface** — Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Gmail, Calendar, Forms, Chat, or Admin SDK
2. **Operation** — create, read, update, search, share, send, schedule, export, batch update, administer
3. **Actor / identity** — end user, service account, delegated admin, or Apps Script owner
```
