docs-pipeline-automation
Build repeatable data-to-Docs pipelines from Sheets and Drive sources. Use for automated status reports, template-based document assembly, and scheduled publishing workflows.
About this skill
This skill enables an AI agent to create deterministic pipelines that transform data from Google Workspace sources (specifically Google Sheets and Google Drive documents) into generated Google Docs outputs. It provides a structured workflow for defining the pipeline's name, sources, templates, and destinations, along with steps for normalizing source extraction and section mapping. The primary goal is to automate the generation of various documents, ensuring consistency and efficiency. This includes automating routine tasks such as generating weekly status reports from project tracking sheets, assembling personalized documents using pre-defined templates and dynamic data, or setting up scheduled publishing workflows for internal communications or external reports. Users would leverage this skill to significantly reduce manual effort in document creation, minimize errors through standardized processes, and maintain up-to-date documentation by linking directly to live data sources. It offers a programmatic approach to document management and content generation within the Google Workspace ecosystem.
Best use case
This skill is primarily for users and teams who need to automate the consistent generation of documents from structured data. It's ideal for creating recurring reports (e.g., project status, sales performance), customizing mass communications (e.g., onboarding documents, personalized offers), or standardizing any document that draws information from Google Sheets or Drive files. It greatly benefits project managers, marketers, HR professionals, and anyone seeking to streamline their document workflow and ensure data accuracy in their generated output.
Build repeatable data-to-Docs pipelines from Sheets and Drive sources. Use for automated status reports, template-based document assembly, and scheduled publishing workflows.
An implementation-ready pipeline artifact, typically a configuration file, that can be used to automatically generate Google Docs based on defined data sources and templates.
Practical example
Example input
Automate our monthly sales report. Use the 'Sales Data 2023' Google Sheet, template 'Monthly Sales Report Template.gdoc' from Drive, and save output to 'Sales Reports/2023' folder. Map 'Region' to '{{report_region}}', 'Total Revenue' to '{{total_revenue}}', 'Top Performer' to '{{top_seller}}'.Example output
An implementation-ready `monthly_sales_report_pipeline.json` artifact, defining the data extraction, section mapping, assembly sequence, and publishing target for the monthly sales report.
When to use this skill
- When automating regular status or performance reports from structured data.
- When generating multiple documents from a single template with varied data inputs.
- When needing to set up scheduled publishing workflows for Google Docs.
- When standardizing document creation processes across a team or organization.
When not to use this skill
- For ad-hoc, highly unstructured document creation without a clear data source or template.
- When data sources are not within Google Sheets or Google Drive.
- For creating complex graphic designs or layouts not easily managed within Google Docs.
- If you require real-time, instantaneous document generation without a pre-configured pipeline.

# Docs Pipeline Automation ## Overview Create deterministic pipelines that transform Workspace data sources into generated Docs outputs. ## Workflow 1. Define pipeline name, sources, template, and destination. 2. Normalize source extraction and section mapping steps. 3. Build report assembly sequence and publish target. 4. Export implementation-ready pipeline artifact. ## Use Bundled Resources - Run `scripts/compose_docs_pipeline.py` for deterministic pipeline output. - Read `references/docs-pipeline-guide.md` for document assembly guidance. ## Guardrails - Keep source mapping explicit and versioned. - Include fallback behavior for missing sections.

Meeting Prep
Never walk into a meeting unprepared again. Your agent researches all attendees before calendar events—pulling LinkedIn profiles, recent company news, mutual connections, and conversation starters. Generates a briefing doc with talking points, icebreakers, and context so you show up informed and confident. Triggered automatically before meetings or on-demand. Configure research depth, advance timing, and output format. Walking into meetings blind is amateur hour—missed connections, generic small talk, zero leverage. Use when setting up meeting intelligence, researching specific attendees, generating pre-meeting briefs, or automating your prep workflow.
