Google Workspace for Education

What it is

Google Workspace for Education (formerly G Suite for Education) is the primary productivity suite for millions of K-12 students and teachers, providing Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Slides, Sheets, and Forms under a district-managed domain. Agents interact with it via the Google Drive API and Google Docs/Slides APIs to store, retrieve, and edit instructional content.

When to use this skill

• Saving a generated lesson plan, worksheet, or slide deck to a teacher's designated Drive folder
• Reading a student's submitted Google Doc to provide writing feedback inline via the Docs comment API
• Creating a new Google Slides presentation from a structured outline produced by the content-creation agent
• Organizing exported curriculum materials into shared district or department Drive folders
• Retrieving a list of files in a teacher's course folder to check for existing materials before creating duplicates

Credentials

This skill authenticates using env vars declared in the frontmatter metadata and provided via ~/.openclaw/.env (see .env.example at the segment root). Required variables:

• GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID - OAuth2 client ID from the Google Cloud project (shared with google-classroom skill if same project)
• GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET - OAuth2 client secret
• GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN - long-lived refresh token for the service or teacher account

Key operations

• GET /drive/v3/files — list files and folders with name, MIME type, and parent folder filters
• POST /drive/v3/files — create a new file or folder in Drive
• GET /drive/v3/files/{id} — retrieve file metadata including sharing settings and owner
• GET /docs/v1/documents/{documentId} — read the full content of a Google Doc
• POST /docs/v1/documents/{documentId}:batchUpdate — insert inline comments or suggested edits into a Doc
• POST /slides/v1/presentations — create a new Google Slides presentation
• POST /slides/v1/presentations/{id}:batchUpdate — add or modify slides in an existing presentation

Notes

• Scopes for Drive, Docs, and Slides are granted separately; request only the scopes required for the current operation.
• Student-owned documents should only be accessed via the submission flow (Google Classroom API) rather than direct Drive access, to respect privacy boundaries.
• Large file exports (e.g., downloading a Slides deck as PPTX) use the Drive export endpoint with the appropriate MIME type.
• All files created by agents should be placed in a designated agent-output folder to keep teacher Drive organized.
