# Google Sheets Skill

Create, read, write, and manage Google Sheets spreadsheets.

## First-Time Setup

Run `npx tsx ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/gmail.ts auth` to authenticate with Google. This opens a browser for OAuth consent and grants access to all Google services including Sheets.

Tokens are stored per-project in `.claude/google-skill.local.json`.

## Using Your Own Credentials (Optional)

By default, this skill uses embedded OAuth credentials. To use your own Google Cloud project instead, save your credentials to `~/.config/google-skill/credentials.json`.

## Commands

```bash
# List your spreadsheets
npx tsx ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/gsheets.ts list
npx tsx ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/gsheets.ts list --max=50

# Get spreadsheet metadata (title, sheets, etc.)
npx tsx ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/gsheets.ts get <spreadsheetId>

# Read cell values (A1 notation)
npx tsx ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/gsheets.ts read <spreadsheetId> "Sheet1!A1:D10"

# Write values to cells
npx tsx ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/gsheets.ts write <spreadsheetId> "Sheet1!A1" \
  --values='[["Hello","World"],["Row 2","Data"]]'

# Append rows to end of sheet
npx tsx ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/gsheets.ts append <spreadsheetId> "Sheet1!A:D" \
  --values='[["New","Row","Data"]]'

# Clear a range
npx tsx ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/gsheets.ts clear <spreadsheetId> "Sheet1!A1:D10"
