Google Workspace Ops

# 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

Do not guess structure from filenames alone. Inspect first.

## Workflow

### 1. Find the asset

Start with the Drive search surface to locate:

- the exact file
- sibling assets
- likely duplicates
- recently modified versions

If several documents look similar, confirm by title, owner, modified time, or folder.

### 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

Pick the smallest tool that can safely perform the work.

### 3. Edit with precision

- For Docs: use index-aware edits, not vague rewrites
- For Sheets: operate on explicit tabs and ranges
