Google Sheets is a web-based spreadsheet program that allows users to create, edit, and collaborate on spreadsheets online. It's used by individuals and businesses of all sizes for data analysis, organization, and visualization. Think of it as Google's version of Microsoft Excel, but entirely cloud-based.

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

Google Sheets is a web-based spreadsheet program that allows users to create, edit, and collaborate on spreadsheets online.

Official docs: https://developers.google.com/sheets/api
Use action names and parameters as needed.
This skill uses the Membrane CLI to interact with Google Sheets. Membrane handles authentication and credentials refresh automatically — so you can focus on the integration logic rather than auth plumbing.
Install the Membrane CLI so you can run membrane from the terminal:
npm install -g @membranehq/cli
membrane login --tenant
A browser window opens for authentication.
Headless environments: Run the command, copy the printed URL for the user to open in a browser, then complete with membrane login complete <code>.
membrane search google-sheets --elementType=connector --json
output.items[0].element?.id, then:
membrane connect --connectorId=CONNECTOR_ID --json
When you are not sure if connection already exists:
membrane connection list --json
connectionIdWhen you know what you want to do but not the exact action ID:
membrane action list --intent=QUERY --connectionId=CONNECTION_ID --json
This will return action objects with id and inputSchema in it, so you will know how to run it.
| Name | Key | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Copy Sheet | copy-sheet | Copies a single sheet from a spreadsheet to another spreadsheet. |
| Batch Update Values | batch-update-values | Sets values in one or more ranges of a spreadsheet in a single request. |
| Batch Get Values | batch-get-values | Returns one or more ranges of values from a spreadsheet in a single request. |
| Clear Values | clear-values | Clears values from a spreadsheet. |
| Append Values | append-values | Appends values to a spreadsheet. |
| Update Values | update-values | Sets values in a range of a spreadsheet. |
| Get Values | get-values | Returns a range of values from a spreadsheet. |
| Get Spreadsheet | get-spreadsheet | Returns the spreadsheet at the given ID, including metadata about sheets, named ranges, and optionally grid data. |
| Create Spreadsheet | create-spreadsheet | Creates a new Google Sheets spreadsheet with optional title and locale settings. |
membrane action run --connectionId=CONNECTION_ID ACTION_ID --json
To pass JSON parameters:
membrane action run --connectionId=CONNECTION_ID ACTION_ID --json --input "{ \"key\": \"value\" }"
When the available actions don't cover your use case, you can send requests directly to the Google Sheets API through Membrane's proxy. Membrane automatically appends the base URL to the path you provide and injects the correct authentication headers — including transparent credential refresh if they expire.
membrane request CONNECTION_ID /path/to/endpoint
Common options:
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
-X, --method |
HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE). Defaults to GET |
-H, --header |
Add a request header (repeatable), e.g. -H "Accept: application/json" |
-d, --data |
Request body (string) |
--json |
Shorthand to send a JSON body and set Content-Type: application/json |
--rawData |
Send the body as-is without any processing |
--query |
Query-string parameter (repeatable), e.g. --query "limit=10" |
--pathParam |
Path parameter (repeatable), e.g. --pathParam "id=123" |
membrane action list --intent=QUERY (replace QUERY with your intent) to find existing actions before writing custom API calls. Pre-built actions handle pagination, field mapping, and edge cases that raw API calls miss.Prerequisites

💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.

google-sheets has been reliable in day-to-day use. Documentation quality is above average for community skills.
Keeps context tight: google-sheets is the kind of skill you can hand to a new teammate without a long onboarding doc.
google-sheets reduced setup friction for our internal harness; good balance of opinion and flexibility.
google-sheets is among the better-maintained entries we tried; worth keeping pinned for repeat workflows.
google-sheets is among the better-maintained entries we tried; worth keeping pinned for repeat workflows.
I recommend google-sheets for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
google-sheets reduced setup friction for our internal harness; good balance of opinion and flexibility.
google-sheets fits our agent workflows well — practical, well scoped, and easy to wire into existing repos.
Registry listing for google-sheets matched our evaluation — installs cleanly and behaves as described in the markdown.
Useful defaults in google-sheets — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.
