Read and write Google Docs through the Google Workspace API.
Works with
Supports three core operations: create (new blank documents), get (retrieve document content), and batchUpdate (apply multiple validated updates in a single request)
Uses a schema-driven CLI with gws schema inspection to discover required parameters, types, and defaults before executing commands
Requires Google Workspace authentication and shared security rules documented in gws-shared/SKILL.md
Includes a helper command
PREREQUISITE: Read
../gws-shared/SKILL.mdfor auth, global flags, and security rules. If missing, rungws generate-skillsto create it.
gws docs <resource> <method> [flags]
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
+write |
Append text to a document |
batchUpdate — Applies one or more updates to the document. Each request is validated before being applied. If any request is not valid, then the entire request will fail and nothing will be applied. Some requests have replies to give you some information about how they are applied. Other requests do not need to return information; these each return an empty reply. The order of replies matches that of the requests.create — Creates a blank document using the title given in the request. Other fields in the request, including any provided content, are ignored. Returns the created document.get — Gets the latest version of the specified document.Before calling any API method, inspect it:
# Browse resources and methods
gws docs --help
# Inspect a method's required params, types, and defaults
gws schema docs.<resource>.<method>
Use gws schema output to build your --params and --json flags.

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versiongws-docsExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches gws-docs from googleworkspace/cli and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate gws-docs. Access via /gws-docs in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.
