Overview
This skill helps AI agents build practical Google Workspace automations using Gemini. It focuses on workflows teams actually run: reporting, triage, routing, summarization, and structured content generation.
Compatibility
Native
- Claude Code / Claude: native skill usage via
SKILL.md. - Codex/OpenAI workflows: compatible with Agent Skills-style
SKILL.mdcontent as reusable workflow instructions.
Manual Adaptation
- Gemini CLI: native skill usage via
.gemini/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.mdor.agents/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.mdwhere supported. - Cursor: use the generated
.cursor/rules/*.mdcadapter for project rules. - OpenClaw and similar agents: use the same skill content as a reusable prompt/workflow file when native skill import is unavailable.
Prerequisites
- Defined source systems and destination artifacts
- Data classification and privacy constraints
- Human reviewers for quality-sensitive outputs
What This Skill Delivers
- Workflow decomposition for Docs/Sheets/Gmail/Drive tasks
- Prompt and schema patterns for reliable output structure
- Quality gates and approval loops
- Monitoring plan for failures, drift, and cost anomalies
How to Use This Skill
- Map workflow trigger, inputs, and output destination.
- Define target schema for generated content.
- Add policy checks for sensitive data.
- Add human review for high-impact decisions.
- Track execution outcomes and iterate prompts safely.
Troubleshooting
Issue: Output quality varies by run
Fix: Tighten schema constraints and add post-generation validation checks.
Issue: Automation creates noisy or irrelevant docs
Fix: Refine source filtering and enforce clear acceptance criteria.
Issue: Costs rise unexpectedly
Fix: Add workload bucketing and caching for repeat context segments.
Knowledge Freshness
Treat tooling details as time-sensitive. Re-validate APIs, limits, pricing, auth models, and deployment flags immediately before implementation. If docs conflict with prior memory, follow current official docs and release notes.
Retrieval Sources
Output Contract
- Return a concrete plan with implementation order.
- Provide production-ready commands/config/code snippets (not placeholders).
- Include explicit assumptions and unresolved risks.
- Include a verification checklist with pass/fail criteria.
Quality Gates
- All commands are copy/paste ready.
- Security-sensitive steps call out secret handling and least privilege.
- Version-sensitive guidance cites current docs used.
- Rollback path is included for risky changes.
- Final output includes quick validation commands/tests.
