Google Workspace Ops
This skill is for operating shared docs, spreadsheets, and decks as working systems, not just editing one file in isolation.
When to Use
- User needs to find a doc, sheet, or deck and update it in place
- Consolidating plans, trackers, notes, or customer lists stored in Google Drive
- Cleaning or restructuring a shared spreadsheet
- Importing, repairing, or reformatting a Google Slides deck
- Producing summaries from Docs, Sheets, or Slides for decision-making
Preferred Tool Surface
Use Google Drive as the entry point, then switch to the right specialist:
- Google Docs for text-heavy docs
- Google Sheets for tabular work, formulas, and charts
- Google Slides for decks, imports, template migration, and cleanup
Workflow
1. Find the asset
Start with the Drive search surface to locate:
- the exact file
- sibling assets
- likely duplicates
- recently modified versions
2. Inspect before editing
Before making changes:
- summarize current structure
- identify tabs, headings, or slide count
- detect whether the task is local cleanup or structural surgery
3. Edit with precision
- For Docs: use index-aware edits, not vague rewrites
- For Sheets: operate on explicit tabs and ranges
- For Slides: distinguish content edits from visual cleanup or template migration
4. Keep the working system clean
When the file is part of a larger workflow, also surface:
- duplicate trackers
- outdated decks
- stale docs vs canonical docs
- whether the asset should be archived, merged, or renamed
Output Format
Use:
ASSET
- file name
- type
- why this is the right file
CURRENT STATE
- structure summary
- key problems or blockers
ACTION
- edits made or recommended
FOLLOW-UPS
- archive / merge / duplicate cleanup / next file to update
Good Use Cases
- "Find the active planning doc and condense it"
- "Clean up this customer spreadsheet and show me the churn-risk rows"
- "Import this deck into Slides and make it presentable"
- "Find the current tracker, not the stale duplicate"
