Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versiongws-sheetsExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches gws-sheets 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-sheets. Access via /gws-sheets 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.

gws sheets <resource> <method> [flags]
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
+append |
Append a row to a spreadsheet |
+read |
Read values from a spreadsheet |
batchUpdate — Applies one or more updates to the spreadsheet. 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. The replies will mirror the requests. For example, if you applied 4 updates and the 3rd one had a reply, then the response will have 2 empty replies, the actual reply, and another empty reply, in that order.create — Creates a spreadsheet, returning the newly created spreadsheet.get — Returns the spreadsheet at the given ID. The caller must specify the spreadsheet ID. By default, data within grids is not returned. You can include grid data in one of 2 ways: * Specify a field mask listing your desired fields using the fields URL parameter in HTTP * Set the includeGridData URL parameter to true.getByDataFilter — Returns the spreadsheet at the given ID. The caller must specify the spreadsheet ID. For more information, see Read, write, and search metadata. This method differs from GetSpreadsheet in that it allows selecting which subsets of spreadsheet data to return by specifying a dataFilters parameter. Multiple DataFilters can be specified.developerMetadata — Operations on the 'developerMetadata' resourcesheets — Operations on the 'sheets' resourcevalues — Operations on the 'values' resourceBefore calling any API method, inspect it:
# Browse resources and methods
gws sheets --help
# Inspect a method's required params, types, and defaults
gws schema sheets.<resource>.<method>
Use gws schema output to build your --params and --json flags.

Common Pitfalls
✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
