Description
Atomic node skill to read a Google Doc using the gog CLI.
README (SKILL.md)
Lean Philosophy (Principles)
- Kaizen (改善): This skill is an atomic node, broken down into its simplest, smallest component to eliminate waste and ensure perfection.
- Standardized Work (Hyojun Sagyo): This node represents the most efficient, standardized path for this specific task before automation.
- Jidoka (自働化): This node includes autonomous defect detection. It relies on the CLI's self-healing loop and will report errors if reading fails.
Google Docs Read Document
This skill allows the agent to read the plain text contents of a Google Document using the native CLI.
Cognitive Directives
WHEN [The contents of a Google Doc need to be read]
THEN [Execute the native terminal command gog docs cat \x3CdocId>]
Schema Example
{
"command": "gog docs cat doc_id_123"
}
Expected Output
The plain text content of the Google Doc.
Usage Guidance
This skill is narrowly scoped and simply runs `gog docs cat <docId>` — ensure you trust the installed gog CLI (verify its origin and that it is properly authenticated). Be aware the agent will run that command with whatever gog credentials/configuration exist on the host, so it can only access documents that the gog client already has permission to read; if you want to limit risk, use a least-privilege gog configuration or a read-only service account and avoid giving the agent IDs for highly sensitive documents. Also confirm you are comfortable with the agent executing the gog binary autonomously (disable autonomous invocation if you prefer manual control).
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill is an atomic instruction to run the gog CLI command `gog docs cat <docId>` to read a document. Requiring the gog binary is appropriate and proportional for the stated purpose; no unrelated binaries or credentials are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only directs execution of a single CLI command to obtain the document's plain text. It does not instruct the agent to read unrelated files, environment variables, system paths, or send data to other endpoints. It assumes the gog CLI is present and authenticated, which is reasonable for this task.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec — the skill is instruction-only. Nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill declares no env vars or credentials. However, the gog CLI itself typically requires authentication (OAuth tokens or local config). The agent running this skill will inherit whatever access the installed gog client has; this is expected but worth noting.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and default invocation settings are used. The skill does not request persistent presence, nor does it modify other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install google-docs-read-document - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/google-docs-read-document - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
