Description
Set up a Google Sheets spreadsheet for tracking expenses with headers and initial entries.
Usage Guidance
This recipe is coherent for creating and sharing a Google Sheets expense tracker, but check a few things before running it:
- The commands use a SHEET_ID placeholder; you must capture the spreadsheet ID returned by the create command and substitute it into the subsequent append and permissions commands.
- The recipe shares the sheet with [email protected] automatically. Confirm that email is correct and that sharing is acceptable for the data you will put into the sheet.
- The gws CLI (and the gws-sheets/gws-drive skills) will use your Google credentials and OAuth scopes — review what scopes/permissions they request and ensure you trust the implementation of those skills.
- Because this is instruction-only, there is no install risk from this skill itself, but the runtime actions will create and share a document in your Google account; exercise usual caution with sensitive data.
If you want stronger safety, update the recipe to capture and show the created SHEET_ID, and prompt for the recipient email instead of hard-coding [email protected].
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: recipe-create-expense-tracker
Version: 1.0.13
The skill bundle is a straightforward recipe for automating the creation of a Google Sheets expense tracker using the 'gws' CLI. It performs legitimate actions such as creating a spreadsheet, appending headers, and sharing the file with a placeholder email address ([email protected]) as explicitly described in SKILL.md. No malicious code, data exfiltration, or obfuscation was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the actions in SKILL.md. The required binary (gws) and the dependent skills (gws-sheets, gws-drive) are appropriate for creating and sharing a Google Sheets document.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are limited to creating a spreadsheet, appending headers/entries, and sharing it. They use a SHEET_ID placeholder but do not show capturing the ID from the create command (usability gap). They also unconditionally share the sheet with [email protected] — this is operationally expected but is a policy/privacy decision the user should confirm.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install actions or external downloads. Lowest-risk installation posture.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables, which is consistent. However the gws CLI and the referenced gws-* skills will require Google authentication and scopes at runtime; the SKILL.md does not document those scopes or the account context, so users should verify what credentials and OAuth scopes gws/gws-sheets/gws-drive will request.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent system-wide changes or modify other skills. It runs only when invoked.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install recipe-create-expense-tracker - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/recipe-create-expense-tracker - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
