Gsuite

GSuite Skill

GSuite integration with multi-account support (work + personal).

Capabilities

• Sheets: Read/write cells, create spreadsheets, append rows, manage sheets (list/add/rename/delete tabs)
• Docs: Read/write documents, create docs, export to PDF/DOCX, manage tabs (list/create/rename/delete)
• Slides: Read presentations, create slides, add content
• Drive: List files, share, manage permissions, create folders
• Gmail: Read/send/draft messages, search, manage labels
• Calendar: List/create/update/delete events, manage calendars
• Tasks: List/create/complete/delete tasks
• People: Search contacts, resolve names to emails before operations
• Comments: List/reply/resolve comments on any file type (Docs, Sheets, Slides) via Drive API, @ac convention for agent-directed comments
• Auth: Multi-account management with account switching

Execution Mode

Use platform-native subagents when available (Task() / subagent tool). Legacy spawn-command flows are not supported.

Fallback: if subagent tooling is unavailable in the current runtime, execute GSuite tools directly via Bash.

Execution patterns and examples are in cookbook/orchestration.md. Use direct CLI calls with explicit inputs/outputs.

Conventions

Tools: All PEP 723 uv scripts in tools/ (skill-relative). All support --help and --account/-a <email>. Verify exact tool names first (ls tools/) - naming is inconsistent (e.g., gcalendar vs docs).

Cookbook: <tool>.py -> cookbook/<tool>.md (MANDATORY read before executing). If cookbook missing, check <tool>.py --help directly.

Customization: <tool>.py -> ~/.agents/customization/gsuite/<tool>.md

Comment Loop Workflow: For agent-directed comment workflows, see cookbook/comments.md. Default filter: @ac (agent-directed comments).

Large Content Strategy: For multi-line or complex content (e.g.: docs, emails, slides):

1. Write content to temp file first (e.g., /tmp/content.md)
2. Pipe/cat file to CLI tool: cat /tmp/content.md | uv run <tool>.py write ...
3. Benefits: Avoids shell escaping issues, handles large content reliably, easier to debug

Workflow

1. Initialize

• Get date context: date "+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S %Z"
• Check auth: uv run auth.py status --json
• Resolve account (ask if ambiguous, remember for session)

2. Load Preferences (BLOCKING)

STOP. Check customization BEFORE any tool execution or API search. Check ~/.agents/customization/gsuite/ for:

• index.md (always)
• <tool>.md (if exists)
• people.md (if name mentioned)

3. Resolve People (BLOCKING)

NEVER search People API before checking customization. If name (not email) mentioned:

1. FIRST: Check ~/.agents/customization/gsuite/people.md
2. ONLY IF NOT FOUND: Fall back to People API via cookbook/people.md
3. Handle ambiguous matches via AskUserQuestion

4. Read Cookbook (BLOCKING)

STOP. Read cookbook before executing any tool.

1. Verify exact tool name: ls tools/ (e.g., docs.py not gdocs.py)
2. Check cookbook/<tool>.md (exact match)
3. If no cookbook: <tool>.py --help

5. Execute & Report

Run tool, report results (status, data, errors).

6. Learn Preferences (Post-Execution)

On user correction -> read cookbook/preferences.md for storage flow.

Anti-Patterns (NEVER DO)

• NEVER create public assets - All Drive files, Docs, Sheets, Slides must remain private. Never use role: anyone, type: anyone, or public visibility settings unless user explicitly requests AND confirms.
• Assuming tool names without verifying (ls tools/ first)
• Searching People API before reading people.md customization
• Executing tools before reading their cookbook
• Skipping index.md preferences check

Configuration

Config directory: ~/.agents/gsuite/

~/.agents/gsuite/
  credentials.json          # OAuth client credentials
  service-account.json      # Enterprise service account (optional)
  config.yml                # Confirmation settings (optional)
  active_account            # Current active account
  accounts/<email>/token.json

Confirmation Settings

Write operations require confirmation by default. Configure in config.yml:

confirmation:
  default: true    # Global default
  gmail: true      # Per-tool override
  tasks: false     # Disable for specific tools

Use --yes or -y flag to bypass confirmation.

Customization Framework

User-side behavior customizations live in ~/.agents/customization/:

~/.agents/customization/
  <skill-name>/           # Per-skill customizations
    <tool>.md             # Tool-specific output format

• NOT tracked in git - user-local configuration
• Skills check for customizations before execution
• Example: ~/.agents/customization/gsuite/gcalendar.md for calendar output format

Extended API Access

For --extra parameter usage (recurring events, CC/BCC, subtasks, etc.), see cookbook/extra.md.

Deprecated

• comments.py is deprecated. Use drive.py comments, drive.py reply, drive.py resolve instead.

Error Handling

• No credentials: Read cookbook/auth.md for interactive setup
• Token expired: Auto-refresh via google-auth library
• Rate limit (429): Exponential backoff with retry
• Permission denied: Verify account has access to resource
