gog

Use gog for Gmail/Calendar/Drive/Contacts/Sheets/Docs. Requires OAuth setup.

Setup (once)

hybridclaw skill install gog gog
hybridclaw auth login google --client-id <id> --client-secret <secret> --account [e-mail]
hybridclaw auth status google

HybridClaw stores the Google OAuth client secret and refresh token in encrypted runtime secrets, mints a short-lived access token on the host, and injects only GOG_ACCESS_TOKEN, GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_TOKEN, and GOG_ACCOUNT into the agent runtime for Google Workspace CLIs.

Calendar Colors

• Use gog calendar colors to see all available event colors (IDs 1-11)
• Add colors to events with --event-color <id> flag
• Event color IDs (from gog calendar colors output):
  • 1: #a4bdfc
  • 2: #7ae7bf
  • 3: #dbadff
  • 4: #ff887c
  • 5: #fbd75b
  • 6: #ffb878
  • 7: #46d6db
  • 8: #e1e1e1
  • 9: #5484ed
  • 10: #51b749
  • 11: #dc2127

Email Formatting

• Prefer plain text. Use --body-file for multi-paragraph messages (or --body-file - for stdin).

• Same --body-file pattern works for drafts and replies.

• --body does not unescape \n. If you need inline newlines, use a heredoc or $'Line 1\n\nLine 2'.

• Use --body-html only when you need rich formatting.

• HTML tags: <p> for paragraphs, <br> for line breaks, <strong> for bold, <em> for italic, <a href="url"> for links, <ul>/<li> for lists.

• Example (plain text via stdin):

  gog gmail send --to [e-mail] \
    --subject "Meeting Follow-up" \
    --body-file - <<'EOF'
  Hi Name,
  
  Thanks for meeting today. Next steps:
  - Item one
  - Item two
  
  Best regards,
  Your Name
  EOF
  

• Example (HTML list):

  gog gmail send --to [e-mail] \
    --subject "Meeting Follow-up" \
    --body-html "<p>Hi Name,</p><p>Thanks for meeting today. Here are the next steps:</p><ul><li>Item one</li><li>Item two</li></ul><p>Best regards,<br>Your Name</p>"
  

Notes

• For scripting, prefer --json plus --no-input.
• When the user asks for calendar events without naming a calendar ID, gog searches all available calendars.
• Do not pipe gog ... --json through ad hoc Python filters unless the JSON shape has been inspected first.
• Sheets values can be passed via --values-json (recommended) or as inline rows.
• Docs supports export/cat/copy. In-place edits require a Docs API client (not in gog).
• Confirm before sending mail or creating events.
• gog gmail search returns one row per thread; use gog gmail messages search when you need every individual email returned separately.
