Gogcli Ops

Operates Google Workspace files via the gogcli CLI — Drive, Sheets, Docs, and Slides.

Overview

Standardize gogcli usage: verify auth, resolve IDs from URLs, default to read-only checks, then run the minimum command needed.

Quick start

• Confirm gogcli is available: gog --version
• List accounts and pick one explicitly if more than one: gog auth list
• Resolve URL to ID with python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/gog_parse_url.py" "<url-or-id>"
• Run a read-only metadata command first (Drive/Sheets/Docs/Slides)

Workflow decision tree

1. Identify target type: sheet | doc | slide | file | folder | id | unknown via "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/gog_parse_url.py". # skill-local
2. Choose the smallest read-only command to confirm access:
   • Sheets: gog sheets metadata <spreadsheetId>
   • Docs: gog docs info <docId>
   • Slides: gog slides info <presentationId>
   • Drive file/folder: gog drive get <fileId> or gog drive permissions <fileId>
3. Only proceed to write operations (update/append/move/share/delete) after explicit user confirmation.

Core tasks

Auth and account selection

• Show stored accounts: gog auth list
• Show auth configuration: gog auth status
• Add/authorize account: gog auth add <email>
• Always use --account <email> when multiple accounts exist.

Resolve IDs from URLs

• Parse a URL or ID:
  • python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/gog_parse_url.py" "<url-or-id>" # skill-local
• If output type is unknown, ask for a direct ID or a different URL.

Drive (files/folders)

• List root or a folder: gog drive ls
• Search by query: gog drive search "<query>"
• Get metadata: gog drive get <fileId>
• Download/export: gog drive download <fileId>
• Permissions check: gog drive permissions <fileId>

Sheets

• Metadata: gog sheets metadata <spreadsheetId>
• Read values: gog sheets get <spreadsheetId> <range>
• Export: gog sheets export <spreadsheetId>
• Write operations (update/append/clear/format): require explicit confirmation and exact range.

Docs

• Metadata: gog docs info <docId>
• Read text: gog docs cat <docId>
• Export: gog docs export <docId>

Slides

• Metadata: gog slides info <presentationId>
• Export: gog slides export <presentationId>

Output modes

• Use --plain for stable TSV output.
• Use --json when a caller wants structured output.
• Use --no-input in non-interactive flows to avoid hanging.

Error handling

• 403/404: verify account (gog auth list), check permissions (gog drive permissions <fileId>), and confirm the ID.
• If access fails, request the user to share the file with the selected account or provide the correct account.

Resources

• See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/gogcli-cheatsheet.md for a compact command list.
• Use "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/gog_parse_url.py" to normalize URLs into IDs before running commands. # skill-local
