What this skill does
# Google Sheets
Lightweight Google Sheets integration with standalone OAuth authentication. No MCP server required. Full read/write access.
> **Requires Google Workspace account.** Personal Gmail accounts are not supported.
## First-Time Setup
Authenticate with Google (opens browser):
```bash
python scripts/auth.py login
```
Check authentication status:
```bash
python scripts/auth.py status
```
Logout when needed:
```bash
python scripts/auth.py logout
```
## Read Commands
All operations via `scripts/sheets.py`. Auto-authenticates on first use if not logged in.
```bash
# Get spreadsheet content as plain text (default)
python scripts/sheets.py get-text SPREADSHEET_ID
# Get spreadsheet content as CSV
python scripts/sheets.py get-text SPREADSHEET_ID --format csv
# Get spreadsheet content as JSON
python scripts/sheets.py get-text SPREADSHEET_ID --format json
# Get values from a specific range (A1 notation)
python scripts/sheets.py get-range SPREADSHEET_ID "Sheet1!A1:D10"
python scripts/sheets.py get-range SPREADSHEET_ID "A1:C5"
# Find spreadsheets by search query
python scripts/sheets.py find "budget 2024"
python scripts/sheets.py find "sales report" --limit 5
# Get spreadsheet metadata (sheets, dimensions, etc.)
python scripts/sheets.py get-metadata SPREADSHEET_ID
```
## Write Commands
```bash
# Update a range of cells with values (JSON 2D array)
python scripts/sheets.py update-range SPREADSHEET_ID "Sheet1!A1:B2" '[["Hello","World"],["Foo","Bar"]]'
# Update with RAW input (no formula parsing, treats everything as literal text)
python scripts/sheets.py update-range SPREADSHEET_ID "Sheet1!A1:B1" '[["=SUM(A1:A5)","text"]]' --raw
# Append rows after the last data row
python scripts/sheets.py append-rows SPREADSHEET_ID "Sheet1!A:Z" '[["New Row Col A","New Row Col B"]]'
# Clear values from a range (keeps formatting)
python scripts/sheets.py clear-range SPREADSHEET_ID "Sheet1!A1:B10"
# Batch update (advanced - for formatting, merging, etc.)
python scripts/sheets.py batch-update SPREADSHEET_ID '[{"updateCells":{"range":{"sheetId":0},"fields":"userEnteredValue"}}]'
```
## Spreadsheet ID
You can use either:
- The spreadsheet ID: `1BxiMVs0XRA5nFMdKvBdBZjgmUUqptlbs74OgvE2upms`
- The full URL: `https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BxiMVs0XRA5nFMdKvBdBZjgmUUqptlbs74OgvE2upms/edit`
The script automatically extracts the ID from URLs.
## Output Formats
### Text (default)
Human-readable format with pipe separators:
```
Spreadsheet Title: Sales Data
Sheet Name: Q1
Name | Revenue | Units
Product A | 10000 | 50
Product B | 15000 | 75
```
### CSV
Standard CSV format, suitable for further processing:
```
Name,Revenue,Units
Product A,10000,50
Product B,15000,75
```
### JSON
Structured data format:
```json
{
"Q1": [
["Name", "Revenue", "Units"],
["Product A", "10000", "50"]
]
}
```
## A1 Notation Examples
- `Sheet1!A1:B10` - Range A1 to B10 on Sheet1
- `Sheet1!A:A` - All of column A on Sheet1
- `Sheet1!1:1` - All of row 1 on Sheet1
- `A1:C5` - Range on the first sheet
## Value Input Options
- **USER_ENTERED** (default): Values are parsed as if typed by a user. Numbers, dates, and formulas are interpreted.
- **RAW** (`--raw` flag): Values are stored exactly as provided. No parsing of formulas or number formatting.
## Token Management
Tokens stored securely using the system keyring:
- **macOS**: Keychain
- **Windows**: Windows Credential Locker
- **Linux**: Secret Service API (GNOME Keyring, KDE Wallet, etc.)
Service name: `google-sheets-skill-oauth`
Tokens automatically refresh when expired using Google's cloud function.
## When to Use

skill-development
IncludedComprehensive meta-skill for creating, managing, validating, auditing, and distributing Claude Code skills and slash commands (unified in v2.1.3+). Provides skill templates, creation workflows, validation patterns, audit checklists, naming conventions, YAML frontmatter guidance, progressive disclosure examples, and best practices lookup. Use when creating new skills, validating existing skills, auditing skill quality, understanding skill architecture, needing skill templates, learning about YAML frontmatter requirements, progressive disclosure patterns, tool restrictions (allowed-tools), skill composition, skill naming conventions, troubleshooting skill activation issues, creating custom slash commands, configuring command frontmatter, using command arguments ($ARGUMENTS, $1, $2), bash execution in commands, file references in commands, command namespacing, plugin commands, MCP slash commands, Skill tool configuration, or deciding between skills vs slash commands. Delegates to docs-management skill for official documentation.
reprompter
IncludedTransform messy prompts into well-structured, effective prompts — single or multi-agent. Use when: "reprompt", "reprompt this", "clean up this prompt", "structure my prompt", rough text needing XML tags and best practices, "reprompter teams", "repromptception", "run with quality", "smart run", "smart agents", multi-agent tasks, audits, parallel work, anything going to agent teams. Don't use when: simple Q&A, pure chat, immediate execution-only tasks. See "Don't Use When" section for details. Outputs: Structured XML/Markdown prompt, quality score (before/after), optional team brief + per-agent sub-prompts, agent team output files. Success criteria: Single mode quality score ≥ 7/10; Repromptception per-agent prompt quality score 8+/10; all required sections present, actionable and specific.
adaptive-compaction
IncludedAdaptive add-on policy and recovery layer that decides WHEN to compact, prune, snapshot, or fork -- replacing fixed-percent auto-compaction across Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-capable hosts. Trigger on auto-compact timing or damage: "when should I compact", "is it safe to compact now or start a fresh session", "auto-compact fires too early/mid-task", "switching to an unrelated task but the window still has space", "context rot", "answers get worse the longer the session runs", "the agent forgot the plan or my decisions after it summarized", "add a layer on top that manages context without changing the agent", raising autoCompactWindow to give the policy room, or installing/tuning a cross-tool compaction policy or PreCompact hook -- even when "compaction" is never said but the problem is context-window pressure or post-summarization memory loss. Do NOT use to summarize a conversation, build RAG, write a summarization prompt (decides WHEN not HOW), or answer max-context-length trivia.
agent-skill-creator
IncludedCreate cross-platform agent skills from workflow descriptions. Activates when users ask to create an agent, automate a repetitive workflow, create a custom skill, or need advanced agent creation. Triggers on phrases like create agent for, automate workflow, create skill for, every day I have to, daily I need to, turn process into agent, need to automate, create a cross-platform skill, validate this skill, export this skill, migrate this skill. Supports single skills, multi-agent suites, transcript processing, template-based creation, interactive configuration, cross-platform export, and spec validation.
llm-wiki
IncludedUse when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages, maintains cross-references, and keeps a synthesis current. Triggers include "second brain", "Obsidian wiki", "personal knowledge management", "ingest this paper/article/book", "build a research wiki", "compound knowledge", "Memex", or whenever the user wants knowledge to accumulate across sessions instead of being re-derived by RAG on every query.
skill-master
IncludedAgent Skills authoring, evaluation, and optimization. Create, edit, validate, benchmark, and improve skills following the agentskills.io specification. Use when designing SKILL.md files, structuring skill folders (references, scripts, assets), ingesting external documentation into skills, running trigger evals, benchmarking skill quality, optimizing descriptions, or performing blind A/B comparisons. Keywords: agentskills.io, SKILL.md, skill authoring, eval, benchmark, trigger optimization.
