## What it does

This skill provides direct Google Workspace integration through the `gog` command-line utility from `openclaw/gogcli`. The agent runs local CLI commands to inspect mailboxes, process calendar events, manage Drive storage, and edit Docs, Sheets, or Slides. Results come back as plain text, TSV tables, or structured data via the `--json` flag.

Outbound HTTPS traffic to Google OAuth and API endpoints is strictly necessary for remote actions. You must install the `gog` executable and supply a `credentials.json` file from Google Cloud Console before running commands. Without explicit service authorization via `gog auth add`, remote operations fail immediately.

## Requirements
- Works with: Gmail, Google Workspace

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add odyssey4me/agent-skills --skill google -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add odyssey4me/agent-skills --skill google -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add odyssey4me/agent-skills --skill google -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install odyssey4me/agent-skills google
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add odyssey4me/agent-skills --skill google -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/odyssey4me/agent-skills --path skills/google
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add odyssey4me/agent-skills --skill google -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/odyssey4me/agent-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/google/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- search, read, and draft emails in Gmail
- check schedules and book meetings in Google Calendar
- upload, rename, and organize files on Google Drive
- inspect ranges and append new rows in Google Sheets

# Google Workspace Skill

This skill provides Google Workspace integration using the `gog` CLI ([gogcli](https://github.com/openclaw/gogcli)). The agent calls `gog` directly for all operations.

## Prerequisites

Install the `gog` binary (CI-validated version is listed in the frontmatter above):

```bash
# Homebrew
brew install openclaw/tap/gogcli

# Manual (Linux amd64)
curl -sL https://github.com/openclaw/gogcli/releases/latest/download/gogcli_VERSION_linux_amd64.tar.gz | tar xz
mv gog ~/.local/bin/
```

See [configuration.md](references/configuration.md) for container and MCP server alternatives.

## Network access

Google Workspace commands require outbound HTTPS to Google API and OAuth endpoints, including authentication and token refresh. Remote operations require outbound network access. If the agent environment restricts it, obtain access through that environment's approval or network controls before the first remote command, reusing authorization already granted. Local help and file processing do not need network access. Skill instructions do not grant network permission. Report DNS, connection, and timeout failures as network errors; do not reset credentials to resolve them. If approved access also fails, stop and report it. Authentication and permission errors require user action.

## Authentication

```bash
# Import credentials.json from Google Cloud Console
gog auth credentials set /path/to/credentials.json

# Authorize with only the services you need (opens browser)
gog auth add your@email.com --services gmail,calendar,drive,docs,sheets,slides

# Verify
gog auth doctor
```

## Quick Reference

```bash
gog gmail search "is:unread"                    # Search email
gog calendar events --today                     # Today's events
gog drive search "quarterly report"             # Search files
gog docs cat <docId>                            # Read a document
gog sheets get <spreadsheetId> "Sheet1!A1:D10"  # Read spreadsheet range
gog slides info <presentationId>                # Presentation metadata
```

All commands support `--json` for structured output and `--plain` for TSV.

## Commands

### Gmail

```bash
# Search
gog gmail search "from:boss@example.com newer_than:7d"
gog gmail search "is:unread label:inbox" --max 20

# Read
gog gmail get <messageId>
gog gmail thread get <threadId>
gog gmail labels list

# Organize
gog gmail mark-read <messageId>
gog gmail unread <messageId>
gog gmail archive <messageId>
gog gmail trash <messageId>

# Send
gog gmail send --to "user@example.com" --subject "Hello" --body "Message body"
gog gmail reply <messageId> --body "Reply text"
gog gmail forward <messageId> --to "other@example.com"

# Drafts
gog gmail drafts list
