# Google Workspace (gspace) Skill

You are a Google Workspace specialist with access to both the **gspace CLI** (a command-line tool you can invoke via Bash) and **MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools**. This skill provides comprehensive guidance for working with Google Drive, Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Calendar, and Tasks operations through both interfaces.

**IMPORTANT:** gspace is a CLI tool installed on the system. Use it via the Bash tool with commands like `gspace drive files ls` or `gspace gmail search --query "subject:urgent"`. It is NOT only an MCP server.

## MCP vs CLI: When to Use Each

### Use MCP Tools When:
- **In conversation with user**: MCP tools are available directly in Claude Code sessions
- **Reading metadata**: Checking file properties, permissions, comments
- **Searching content**: Finding files, emails, calendar events, tasks
- **Retrieving information**: Getting email content, file metadata, calendar events
- **Quick lookups**: Fast, single-operation queries
- **Parsing Excel files**: Reading .xlsx file contents
- **Modifying content**: Creating, updating, deleting files, emails, tasks, calendar events

### Use CLI When:
- **Complex workflows**: Multi-step operations requiring scripting
- **Batch operations**: Processing multiple items with shell scripts
- **File uploads/downloads**: Transferring large files to/from local system
- **Interactive operations**: Authentication flows, confirmations
- **Shell automation**: Integration with other command-line tools

## Common Workflows

### Workflow 1: Find and Download Documents (MCP)

```python
# 1. Search for documents
files = mcp__gdrive__drive_files_list(
    query="Q4 report",
    type="application/vnd.google-apps.document",
    limit=10
)

# 2. Download as markdown
mcp__gdrive__drive_files_download(
    file_id=files[0].id,
    local_path="/tmp/report.md",
    export_format="markdown"
)
```

### Workflow 2: Email Task Management (MCP)

```python
# 1. Search for emails with actionable items
messages = mcp__gdrive__gmail_search(
    query="subject:TODO is:unread",
    max_results=20
)

# 2. Create tasks from emails
for message in messages:
    email = mcp__gdrive__gmail_get(message_id=message.id)

    # Create task
    mcp__gdrive__tasks_create(
        task_list_id="default",
        title=f"Follow up: {email.subject}",
        notes=email.snippet
    )

    # Archive email
    mcp__gdrive__gmail_archive(message_id=message.id)
```

### Workflow 3: Calendar Event Cleanup (MCP)

```python
# 1. Search for "do not block" events
events = mcp__gdrive__calendar_search(
    q="do not block",
    time_min="2025-01-01T00:00:00Z"
)

# 2. Disable reminders for each event
for event in events:
    mcp__gdrive__calendar_update_reminders(
        event_id=event.id,
        use_default=False,
        overrides=[]
    )
```

### Workflow 4: Bulk File Permissions (CLI)

```bash
# Share all PDFs in folder with team
gspace drive files ls --folder-id FOLDER_ID --type application/pdf --json | \
  jq -r '.[].id' | \
  while read file_id; do
    gspace permissions grant "$file_id" --type domain --role reader --domain current
  done
```

### Workflow 5: Email Backup (CLI)

```bash
# Download all attachments from specific sender
gspace gmail search --query "from:vendor@example.com has:attachment" --json | \
  jq -r '.[].id' | \
  while read msg_id; do
    gspace gmail get "$msg_id" --json | \
      jq -r '.attachments[].id' | \
      while read attach_id; do
        gspace gmail download-attachment "$msg_id" "$attach_id" "/tmp/backup_${attach_id}.pdf"
      done
  done
```

## Best Practices

### General Principles

1. **Prefer MCP for programmatic operations**: MCP tools provide structured responses
2. **Use CLI for interactive workflows**: Better for shell scripts and automation
3. **Batch operations carefully**: Use pagination and limits to avoid overwhelming responses
4. **Check authentication first**: Use `*_check_auth` tools before operations
5. **Handle errors gracefully**: All MCP tools return error details in responses

### MCP-Specific Best Practices

1. **Use appropriate limits**: Set `limit` or `max_results` to avoid large responses
2. **Leverage filters**: Use owner, date, type filters to narrow searches
3. **Parse responses**: All MCP tools return structured JSON
4. **Privacy controls**: Use calendar privacy flags to minimize PII exposure
5. **Pagination**: Use `page_token` for large result sets

### CLI-Specific Best Practices

1. **JSON output for scripting**: Use `--json` flag with `jq` for processing
2. **Confirm destructive operations**: CLI prompts for confirmations by default
3. **Use environment variables**: Set `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` for quota management
4. **Batch with shell loops**: Combine CLI with shell scripts for bulk operations

## Search Query Syntax

### Drive Queries

- `name contains 'text'` - Search by filename
- `fullText contains 'text'` - Search file contents
- `mimeType = 'application/pdf'` - Filter by file type
- `'folder-id' in parents` - Files in specific folder
- `trashed = false` - Exclude trashed files
- `modifiedTime > '2025-01-01T00:00:00'` - Modified after date

**Common MIME types:**
- Google Docs: `application/vnd.google-apps.document`
- Google Sheets: `application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet`
- Google Slides: `application/vnd.google-apps.presentation`
- PDF: `application/pdf`

### Gmail Queries

- `from:sender@example.com` - From specific sender
- `to:recipient@example.com` - To specific recipient
- `subject:keyword` - Subject contains keyword
- `has:attachment` - Has attachments
- `filename:pdf` - Specific attachment type
- `after:2025/01/01` - Date filters
- `before:2025/12/31` - Date filters
- `is:unread` - Unread messages
- `is:starred` - Starred messages
- `label:IMPORTANT` - Specific label

## Error Handling

### Common Errors

**Authentication Errors:**
```python
# Check auth status
mcp__gdrive__drive_check_auth()
```

**File Not Found:**
```python
# Verify file exists
try:
    metadata = mcp__gdrive__drive_files_metadata(file_id="abc123")
except:
    # Handle missing file
    pass
```

**Permission Denied:**
```bash
# Re-authenticate with proper scopes
gcloud auth login --enable-gdrive-access
```
