# sheets-cli

CLI for Google Sheets primitives. Read tables, append rows, update cells by key or index, batch operations.

> **Installation:** `sheets-cli` is already installed and available in the user's PATH. Run commands directly—no installation needed.

## Quick Reference

```bash
# Find spreadsheet by name
sheets-cli sheets find --name "Projects"

# List sheets/tabs
sheets-cli sheets list --spreadsheet <id-or-url>

# Read table data
sheets-cli read table --spreadsheet <id> --sheet "Sheet1" --limit 100

# Update by key column (preferred - rows can shift)
sheets-cli update key --spreadsheet <id> --sheet "Projects" \
  --key-col "Name" --key "Acme" --set '{"Status":"Done"}'

# Append row
sheets-cli append --spreadsheet <id> --sheet "Projects" \
  --values '{"Name":"NewCo","Status":"Active"}'
```

## Workflow Pattern

Always follow **read → decide → dry-run → apply**:

```bash
# 1. Understand current state
sheets-cli read table --sheet "Tasks" --limit 100

# 2. Dry-run first
sheets-cli update key --sheet "Tasks" --key-col "ID" --key "TASK-42" \
  --set '{"Status":"Complete"}' --dry-run

# 3. Apply if dry-run looks correct
sheets-cli update key --sheet "Tasks" --key-col "ID" --key "TASK-42" \
  --set '{"Status":"Complete"}'
```
