## What it does

The skill lays out ready-made Google Sheets workflows: pulling data from several sources into one sheet, tracking tasks with Slack reminders, generating scheduled reports, and stock alerts. Inside are n8n-style workflow configs — schedule, steps, sheet and column structure.

It needs the `google-workspace-mcp` MCP server with the `sheets_read`, `sheets_write`, `sheets_append` and `sheets_format` tools. Without it the skill can neither read nor write to your sheets. The recommended model is `claude-sonnet-4`.

The workflows build on n8n templates, so some steps assume you assemble the automation there too. No n8n? You port the logic by hand. The skill ships with English and Chinese.

## Requirements
- Works with: Google Workspace, n8n
