- "Update the table of contents"
## Document Creation Workflow
### Template v2 - Standard Document Template
**IMPORTANT:** When creating new documents, always use the `copy` command to duplicate from "Template v2" rather than creating blank documents.
**Template v2 Document ID:** `1lcUWzmqtj-h0OMdM_NcvDN_qa4EyAfwCgE-IZUAlLPc`
**Workflow:**
1. **Copy Template v2:** Use `copy` command with Template v2 ID, new title, and target folder
2. **Populate Content:** Use `set-markdown` or `update-section` to add content
**Example:**
```bash
# Step 1: Copy Template v2 to create new document
google-docs-manager copy 1lcUWzmqtj-h0OMdM_NcvDN_qa4EyAfwCgE-IZUAlLPc "My New Article" --folder <FOLDER_ID>
# Step 2: Add content
google-docs-manager set-markdown <NEW_DOC_ID> content.md
```
**Why use Template v2?**
- Pre-configured styles (Title, Headings 1-5, Normal Text)
- Consistent formatting across all documents
- Saves time compared to styling from scratch
- **Medical articles must be written as text content, not markdown formatting**
## Available Tools
### Google Docs Manager Binary
**Location:** `~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager`
**Type:** Standalone Go binary (no Python dependencies required)
**Source Code:** `~/projects/new/google-docs-manager/`
**Usage:**
**Basic Document Operations:**
```bash
# Create new document (blank)
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager create <title> --folder <folder_id>
# Copy existing document (RECOMMENDED for creating from templates)
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager copy <source_document_id> <new_title> --folder <folder_id>
# Read document (full content as markdown)
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager read <document_id>
# Get document structure (headings with indices)
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager get-structure <document_id>
# Set content from markdown
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager set-markdown <document_id> <markdown_file>
# Update section from markdown
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager update-section <document_id> <heading_text> <markdown_file>
# Insert after section
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager insert-after <document_id> <heading_text> <markdown_file>
# Get document info
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager info <document_id>
```
**Text Operations:**
```bash
# Delete text range
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager delete-text <document_id> <start_index> <end_index>
# Format text (bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, color, font-size)
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager format-text <document_id> <start_index> <end_index> \
[--bold] [--italic] [--underline] [--strikethrough] \
[--color "R,G,B"] [--font-size N]
# Color Format Details:
# --color accepts RGB values as comma-separated integers (0-255)
# Format: "R,G,B" where R=Red, G=Green, B=Blue
#
# Hex to RGB Conversion:
# To convert hex colors (e.g., #bf9000) to RGB:
# 1. Split hex into pairs: #bf9000 → bf, 90, 00
# 2. Convert each pair from hex to decimal:
# - bf (hex) = 191 (decimal)
# - 90 (hex) = 144 (decimal)
# - 00 (hex) = 0 (decimal)
# 3. Result: "191,144,0"
#
# Common Colors:
# - Black: "0,0,0" (#000000)
# - White: "255,255,255" (#ffffff)
# - Red: "255,0,0" (#ff0000)
# - Green: "0,255,0" (#00ff00)
# - Blue: "0,0,255" (#0000ff)
# - Dark Red: "153,0,0" (#990000)
# - Dark Green: "56,118,29" (#38761d)
# - Amber/Orange: "191,144,0" (#bf9000)
#
# Examples:
# Apply amber color to text at indices 100-115:
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager format-text DOC_ID 100 115 --color "191,144,0"
#
# Apply dark green with bold:
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager format-text DOC_ID 200 210 --bold --color "56,118,29"
#
# Apply black color (default):
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager format-text DOC_ID 300 315 --color "0,0,0"
# Align paragraph
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager align-paragraph <document_id> <start_index> <end_index> <ALIGNMENT>
# ALIGNMENT: START (left), CENTER, END (right), JUSTIFIED
```
**List Operations:**
```bash
# Create bulleted list

~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager format-text 1docabc123xyz 200 215 --bold --color "56,118,29"
```
**How It Works:**
The binary is a standalone Go executable that:
- Requires no Python installation or virtual environment
- Uses OAuth2 credentials stored in `~/.credentials/`
- Provides fast, direct access to Google Docs API
- Can be rebuilt from source at `~/projects/new/google-docs-manager/`
## Default Styles
Documents created with the `create` command use standard Google Docs styles:
- **Title** style (for `# title`)
- **Heading 1** style (for `## chapter`)
- **Heading 2** style (for `### sub-chapter`)
- **Heading 3** style (for `#### sub-sub-chapter`)
- **Heading 4** style (for `##### sub-sub-sub-chapter`)
- **Heading 5** style (for `###### sub-sub-sub-sub-chapter`)
## Markdown to Google Docs Mapping
| Markdown | Google Docs Style |
|----------|------------------|
| `# title` | Title |
| `## Chapter` | Heading 1 |
| `### Sub Chapter` | Heading 2 |
| `#### Sub Sub Chapter` | Heading 3 |
| `##### Sub Sub Sub Chapter` | Heading 4 |
| `###### Sub Sub Sub Sub Chapter` | Heading 5 |
| Regular text | Normal Text |
| `**bold**` | Bold text |
| `*italic*` or `_italic_` | Italic text |
| Tables | Google Docs tables with italic legend above |
| Images | Inline images with italic legend below (left-aligned) |
**Note:** Italic formatting supports both asterisk (`*text*`) and underscore (`_text_`) syntax. This is particularly useful for scientific names and technical terms that conventionally use underscores in markdown (e.g., `_Chlamydophila pneumoniae_`).
## Operations
### 1. Create Document
Creates a new blank Google Doc with standard styles.
**Process:**
1. Create new document in specified folder
2. Apply standard Google Docs styles
3. Return new document ID
### 2. Read Document
Extract document content as markdown or plain text.
**Full Read:**
- Returns entire document content
- Preserves structure (headings, paragraphs, tables)
- Converts to markdown format
**Section Read:**
- Extracts content under specific heading
- Returns only the section content
- Preserves formatting
### 3. Get Document Structure
Returns hierarchical structure of document headings.
**Output:**
```json
{
"headings": [
{
"level": 1,
"text": "Introduction",
"index": 15,
"style": "HEADING_1"
},
{
"level": 2,
"text": "Background",
"index": 45,
"style": "HEADING_2"
}
]
}
```
### 4. Set Content from Markdown (Utility)
**This is a utility function for markdown conversion. The primary focus of this skill is document editing.**
Replaces entire document content with markdown-formatted content.
**Markdown Conversion Process:**
1. Clear existing content
2. Parse markdown and convert to Google Docs API requests
3. Apply proper styles based on heading levels:
- `# text` → Title style
- `## text` → Heading 1 style
- `### text` → Heading 2 style
- `#### text` → Heading 3 style
- `##### text` → Heading 4 style
- `###### text` → Heading 5 style
- Regular text → Normal Text style
- `**bold**` → Bold formatting
- `*italic*` or `_italic_` → Italic formatting (both syntaxes supported)
- `- item` → Bullet point (Normal Text with dash)
4. Split requests into batches of 400 (Google Docs API limit)
5. Execute batch updates sequentially
**Important Notes:**
- Google Docs API has a limit of ~400 requests per batchUpdate call
- Large documents are automatically split into multiple batches
- Empty lines in markdown are skipped to avoid unwanted spacing
- Paragraphs flow continuously without extra blank lines
- After content insertion, always use `update-toc` to add automatic TOC
- Markdown conversion is a convenience feature; main purpose is document editing
### 5. Update Section
Updates content under a specific heading.
**Process:**
1. Find heading in document structure
2. Determine section boundaries
3. Replace section content with new markdown
4. Preserve surrounding content
5. Update table of contents
### 6. Insert Table
Inserts a formatted table with optional legend.
**Format:**
```
Table 1: Sales Data Q4 2024 (italic, above table)
┌────────────┬──────────┬──────────┐
│ Month │ Sales │ Growth │
├────────────┼──────────┼──────────┤
│ October │ $125k │ +5% │
│ November │ $142k │ +13% │
│ December │ $198k │ +39% │
└────────────┴──────────┴──────────┘
```
**Input:** CSV file or JSON data
**Output:** Google Docs table with legend
### 7. Insert Image
Inserts an image into the document with optional legend.
**CRITICAL LIMITATION - Google Docs API Requirements:**
Google Docs API ONLY accepts images via publicly accessible HTTP/HTTPS URLs. Local files CANNOT be inserted directly.
**Required Workflow for Local Images:**
1. **Upload to Google Drive:** Local image files must first be uploaded to Google Drive
2. **Make Publicly Accessible:** Set Drive file permissions to `type: anyone, role: reader`
3. **Get Drive URL:** Use format `https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=FILE_ID`
4. **Insert into Document:** Use the Drive URL with insert-image command
**Alternative Approaches (NOT supported by API):**
- ❌ Base64 data URIs (API rejects with "URL should start with http:// or https://")
- ❌ Direct local file paths
- ❌ File system URLs (file://)
**Recommended Practice:**
- Upload images to the same Google Drive folder as the document
- This keeps all related content together in Google Workspace
- Images are accessible through proper Drive permissions
- No dependency on external hosting services
**Format:**
```
[Image]
Figure 1: Revenue Trends (italic, below image, left-aligned)
[blank line automatically added after legend for spacing]
```
**Input:** Publicly accessible HTTP/HTTPS URL (typically from Google Drive)
**Output:** Inline image with legend and blank line after for proper spacing
**Example Workflow:**
```bash
# 1. Upload image to Drive (using google-drive-manager skill)
# Use the google-drive-manager skill to upload the image and get FILE_ID
# 2. Make image publicly accessible
# Use the google-drive-manager skill to set permissions (type: anyone, role: reader)
# 3. Insert into document
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager insert-image DOC_ID \
"https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=FILE_ID" \
--legend "Figure 1: Description"
```
### 8. Update Table of Contents
Inserts "Table of content" heading placeholder at document start.
**IMPORTANT LIMITATION:**
Google Docs API v1 does NOT support programmatic TOC insertion. This command only inserts the heading.
**Process:**
1. Check if "Table of content" heading already exists at document start
2. If not, insert "Table of content" heading (Heading 1 style) at position 1
3. Provide instructions for manual TOC insertion
**Manual Steps Required:**
After running this command, you must manually complete the TOC insertion:
1. Open the document in Google Docs UI
2. Place cursor after the "Table of content" heading
3. Click Insert > Table of contents > Choose style (with page numbers or links)
**Notes:**
- The automatic TOC will be clickable and navigable
- TOC automatically updates when headings change
- Shows all heading levels that are formatted as headings
## Prerequisites
### System Requirements
- **Binary:** Pre-compiled Go binary (no runtime dependencies)
- **GCP Project** with Docs API enabled
- **Google OAuth Credentials** stored in `~/.credentials/`
### Google Cloud Setup
1. **Enable Required APIs:**

```
2. **Create OAuth Credentials:**
- Go to Google Cloud Console (https://console.cloud.google.com/)
- Navigate to APIs & Services > Credentials
- Create OAuth 2.0 Client ID (Desktop application type)
- Download credentials as JSON file
- Save to `~/.credentials/google_credentials.json`
3. **First-time Authentication:**
```bash
# Create credentials directory
mkdir -p ~/.credentials
# Copy downloaded credentials
cp ~/Downloads/client_secret_*.json ~/.credentials/google_credentials.json
# Run any command - will open browser for OAuth consent
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager info <document_id>
# Token saved to ~/.credentials/google_token.json for future use
```
4. **Subsequent Runs:**
- Token automatically refreshed when expired
- No browser interaction needed
- Seamless authentication
### Installation
**No installation required!** The binary is pre-compiled and ready to use:
- Just run the binary directly
- No dependencies to install
- No virtual environment needed
## Common Workflows
### 1. Create New Report
```bash
# Create new document
DOC_ID=$(~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager create "Q4 Sales Report" 1folderabc123 | grep "Document ID:" | cut -d' ' -f3)
# Set content from markdown
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager set-markdown $DOC_ID report.md
# Add table
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager insert-table $DOC_ID sales_data.csv --legend "Table 1: Quarterly Sales"
# Add chart image
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager insert-image $DOC_ID "https://charts.example.com/q4.png" --legend "Figure 1: Sales Trends"
```
### 2. Update Existing Document Section
```bash
# Read current section (requires custom implementation - use get-structure to find section boundaries)
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager get-structure 1docabc123
# Edit methodology.md locally...
# Update section
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager update-section 1docabc123 "Methodology" methodology.md
```
### 3. Generate Report from Data
```bash
# Create document
DOC_ID=$(~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager create "Analysis Report" 1folder123 | grep "Document ID:" | cut -d' ' -f3)
# Generate markdown report from data
python generate_report.py --output report.md
# Set content
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager set-markdown $DOC_ID report.md
# Add multiple tables
for table in results/*.csv; do
legend=$(basename "$table" .csv | sed 's/_/ /g')
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager insert-table $DOC_ID "$table" --legend "Table: $legend"
done
```
## Best Practices
### Document Creation
- **Use create command:** Creates new documents with standard Google Docs styles
- **Set content from markdown:** Use `set-markdown` to populate document with structured content
- **Add elements incrementally:** Use insert-table and insert-image to add data visualizations
### Content Management
- **Section updates:** Use section updates for partial modifications to preserve other content
- **Structure first:** Use `get-structure` to understand document organization
### Markdown Conversion
- **Heading levels:** Follow markdown to heading style mapping
- **Tables:** Use CSV format for clean table conversion
- **Images:** Upload images to Drive first if using local files
### Formatting
- **Table legends:** Always in italic above the table
- **Image legends:** Always in italic below the image, left-aligned
- **Consistent styles:** Use standard Google Docs styles for uniform formatting
### Performance
- **Batch operations:** Group multiple updates when possible
- **Large documents:** Consider section updates for large documents
- **API limits:** Be mindful of Google Docs API quotas
## How to Respond to Docs Requests
When users request Docs operations:
1. **Identify the operation:**
- Create, read, update, insert table/image, update TOC
2. **Gather required parameters:**
- Document ID (from user or search)
- Content/markdown file
- Section headings
- Table/image data
3. **Run the appropriate command:**
- Execute script with proper arguments
- Monitor output for progress and errors
- Report results to user
4. **Handle document structure:**
- Use `get-structure` to understand organization
- Find section boundaries for updates
- Verify heading names exist
5. **Handle errors:**
- Check authentication if OAuth errors occur
- Verify document IDs if not found
- Confirm API access if permission errors occur
## Example Interactions
### Example 1: Create Document and Add Content
**User:** "Create a new Google Doc for the Q4 report and add this markdown content"
**Response:**
```
I'll create a new Google Doc and add your content.
Creating document...
```
**Execute:**
```bash
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager create "Q4 Report" 1folderabc123
```
**Then:**
```bash
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager set-markdown 1newdoc123 content.md
```
**Final response:**
```
Created document "Q4 Report"
Added content from markdown
Document link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1newdoc123/edit
```
### Example 2: Update Specific Section
**User:** "Update the 'Conclusion' section in this document with new content"
**Response:**
```
I'll update the Conclusion section with your new content.
First, let me check the document structure...
```
**Execute:**
```bash
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager get-structure 1docabc123
~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/google-docs-manager update-section 1docabc123 "Conclusion" new_conclusion.md
```
**Final response:**
```
Updated 'Conclusion' section
The Conclusion section has been updated while preserving all other content.
```
## Troubleshooting
### "Google OAuth credentials not found"
```bash
# Create credentials directory
mkdir -p ~/.credentials
# Download OAuth credentials from Google Cloud Console
# Save to ~/.credentials/google_credentials.json
```
### "Permission denied" errors
```bash
# Ensure Docs and Drive APIs are enabled
gcloud services enable docs.googleapis.com drive.googleapis.com
# Verify OAuth scopes include:
# - https://www.googleapis.com/auth/documents
# - https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive
```
### "Section not found"
- Verify exact heading text (case-sensitive)
- Use `get-structure` to see all available headings
- Check heading style (must be Heading 1-5, not just bold text)
### Re-authenticate
```bash
# Delete token to trigger new OAuth flow
rm ~/.credentials/google_token.json
# Run any command to re-authenticate
```
## Security & Privacy
- **OAuth authentication:** Uses secure OAuth 2.0 flow
- **Local credentials:** Stores credentials in `~/.credentials/`
- **API access:** Only requests minimum required scopes
- **No logging:** Binary does not log or store document content
- **Secure transfer:** All transfers use HTTPS
## Dependencies
**None!** The binary is self-contained with all dependencies compiled in:
- Google Docs/Drive API client libraries (compiled into binary)
- OAuth 2.0 authentication (compiled into binary)
- No external runtime dependencies required
## Response Approach
To accomplish Docs management tasks:
1. Identify the specific operation requested
2. Gather required parameters (document ID, content, sections)
3. Check document structure if needed (get-structure)
4. Execute the appropriate binary command
5. Monitor output for progress and errors
6. Report results with document link
7. Handle errors with appropriate troubleshooting steps
## Building from Source
To rebuild the binary after making changes:
```bash
# Navigate to source directory
cd ~/projects/new/google-docs-manager/
# Build the binary
make
# Copy to skill directory
cp google-docs-manager ~/.claude/skills/google-docs-manager/scripts/
```
The binary will be compiled with all dependencies included.
