google-workspace-ops
Operate across Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides as one workflow surface for plans, trackers, decks, and shared documents. Use when the user needs to find, summarize, edit, migrate, or clean up Google Workspace assets without dropping to raw tool calls.
About this skill
The `google-workspace-ops` skill empowers AI agents to manage Google Workspace assets comprehensively, treating Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides not as individual files but as integrated components within a unified workflow surface. This skill facilitates a wide array of operations, including searching for specific documents, generating summaries from diverse content types, making targeted edits, migrating content between formats or locations, and performing cleanup tasks across plans, trackers, decks, and shared documents. It allows for advanced interaction with your Google Workspace environment without the need for manual tool-specific commands or raw API calls, enabling seamless consolidation, restructuring, and reporting for shared assets.
Best use case
Automating common Google Workspace tasks like finding and updating documents, consolidating information across multiple files, cleaning and restructuring spreadsheets, importing or reformatting presentations, and generating summaries from various content types.
Operate across Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides as one workflow surface for plans, trackers, decks, and shared documents. Use when the user needs to find, summarize, edit, migrate, or clean up Google Workspace assets without dropping to raw tool calls.
Efficient and accurate management of Google Workspace assets. Consolidated and organized information across various document types. Automated data cleanup, migration, and summarization tasks. Reduced manual effort in maintaining and updating shared documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. Improved workflow for managing collaborative projects and data within Google Workspace.
Practical example
Example input
Find all Google Docs related to 'Q3 Marketing Plan', summarize the key objectives from each, and then create a new Google Sheet consolidating these objectives with links to the original documents.
Example output
Understood. I have located 3 Google Docs related to 'Q3 Marketing Plan'. I will now extract the key objectives from each and consolidate them into a new Google Sheet titled 'Q3 Marketing Objectives Summary', including links back to the original documents. I will provide you with the link to the new sheet once complete.
When to use this skill
- When you need to locate, modify, or summarize content across multiple Google Workspace files (Docs, Sheets, Slides).
- To automate routine data management or reporting tasks within Google Drive.
- When consolidating information from disparate sources (e.g., plans, notes, customer lists) into a single Google Doc or Sheet.
- To prepare presentations by importing slides, repairing formatting, or reformatting existing decks.
When not to use this skill
- For highly complex visual design or artistic tasks within Google Slides that require human aesthetic judgment.
- When direct, real-time collaborative editing sessions with other human users are the primary goal, where granular control is needed.
- For developing new Google Workspace add-ons or scripts (Google Apps Script), which requires direct coding.
- When performing operations that strictly require local file system access rather than cloud-based Google Workspace.

# Google Workspace Ops This skill is for operating shared docs, spreadsheets, and decks as working systems, not just editing one file in isolation. ## When to Use - User needs to find a doc, sheet, or deck and update it in place - Consolidating plans, trackers, notes, or customer lists stored in Google Drive - Cleaning or restructuring a shared spreadsheet - Importing, repairing, or reformatting a Google Slides deck - Producing summaries from Docs, Sheets, or Slides for decision-making ## Preferred Tool Surface Use Google Drive as the entry point, then switch to the right specialist: - Google Docs for text-heavy docs - Google Sheets for tabular work, formulas, and charts - Google Slides for decks, imports, template migration, and cleanup Do not guess structure from filenames alone. Inspect first. ## Workflow ### 1. Find the asset Start with the Drive search surface to locate: - the exact file - sibling assets - likely duplicates - recently modified versions If several documents look similar, confirm by title, owner, modified time, or folder. ### 2. Inspect before editing Before making changes: - summarize current structure - identify tabs, headings, or slide count - detect whether the task is local cleanup or structural surgery Pick the smallest tool that can safely perform the work. ### 3. Edit with precision - For Docs: use index-aware edits, not vague rewrites - For Sheets: operate on explicit tabs and ranges - For Slides: distinguish content edits from visual cleanup or template migration If the requested work is visual or layout-sensitive, iterate with inspection and verification instead of one giant blind update. ### 4. Keep the working system clean When the file is part of a larger workflow, also surface: - duplicate trackers - outdated decks - stale docs vs canonical docs - whether the asset should be archived, merged, or renamed ## Output Format Use: ```text ASSET - file name - type - why this is the right file CURRENT STATE - structure summary - key problems or blockers ACTION - edits made or recommended FOLLOW-UPS - archive / merge / duplicate cleanup / next file to update ``` ## Good Use Cases - "Find the active planning doc and condense it" - "Clean up this customer spreadsheet and show me the churn-risk rows" - "Import this deck into Slides and make it presentable" - "Find the current tracker, not the stale duplicate"

token-budget-advisor
Offers the user an informed choice about how much response depth to consume before answering. Use this skill when the user explicitly wants to control response length, depth, or token budget. TRIGGER when: "token budget", "token count", "token usage", "token limit", "response length", "answer depth", "short version", "brief answer", "detailed answer", "exhaustive answer", "respuesta corta vs larga", "cuántos tokens", "ahorrar tokens", "responde al 50%", "dame la versión corta", "quiero controlar cuánto usas", or clear variants where the user is explicitly asking to control answer size or depth. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user has already specified a level in the current session (maintain it), the request is clearly a one-word answer, or "token" refers to auth/session/payment tokens rather than response size.
