Publish Markdown to Google Docs
Quickly publish markdown notes to styled Google Docs using pandoc and a Word template.
When to use
- User wants to publish a markdown note to Google Docs
- User says "publish to Google Docs", "create a Google Doc from markdown", or "push this to Drive"
- User wants to apply consistent branding/styling to documents before sharing
Prerequisites
- pandoc - Must be installed (see self-healing below)
- A Word template (.docx) with desired styles
- OAuth credentials for Google Drive (one-time setup)
Self-healing: Installing pandoc
If pandoc is not installed, ask the user how they would like to install it:
Preferred option (pixi):
pixi global install pandoc
Alternative options by platform:
| Platform | Command |
|----------|---------|
| macOS (Homebrew) | brew install pandoc |
| macOS (MacPorts) | port install pandoc |
| Windows (Chocolatey) | choco install pandoc |
| Windows (winget) | winget install --source winget --exact --id JohnMacFarlane.Pandoc |
| Linux (Conda) | conda install -c conda-forge pandoc |
| Any (download) | Download from https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/latest |
Use the question tool to present these options if pandoc is missing.
Workflow
Step 1: Check pandoc availability
which pandoc && pandoc --version
If not found, prompt user to install (see self-healing above).
Step 2: Convert markdown to docx with pandoc
pandoc INPUT.md --from markdown --to docx --reference-doc=TEMPLATE.docx --output=OUTPUT.docx
The --reference-doc flag applies the template's styles (fonts, headings, margins) to the output.
Step 3: Upload to Google Drive
uv run scripts/upload_to_drive.py --input OUTPUT.docx --title "Document Title"
Returns a shareable Google Docs link.
Example
# Convert and upload
pandoc "proposal.md" --from markdown --to docx --reference-doc="template.docx" --output="proposal.docx"
uv run scripts/upload_to_drive.py --input "proposal.docx" --title "My Proposal"
Scripts
upload_to_drive.py
Uploads a docx file to Google Drive using OAuth2 user authentication.
Usage:
uv run scripts/upload_to_drive.py --input /path/to/file.docx --title "Document Title"
Setup (one-time):
- Go to https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials
- Create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID (Desktop app)
- Set environment variables:
export GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID='your-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com'
export GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET='your-client-secret'
Features:
- Opens browser for Google login on first run
- Saves credentials locally for future use
- Use
--logoutto remove saved credentials - Use
--no-shareto keep document private
Template Style Requirements
For best results, your template should have these styles defined:
| Style | Usage | |-------|-------| | Title | Document title (# heading) | | Heading 1 | Major sections (## heading) | | Heading 2 | Subsections (### heading) | | Heading 3 | Sub-subsections (#### heading) | | Normal | Body paragraphs |
Notes
- Pandoc handles all markdown correctly: lists, bold, italic, tables, code blocks, links
- The template's fonts, colors, and margins are preserved via
--reference-doc - Images from the template are not copied - this only applies styles

Advanced negotiation and communication advisor grounded in Chris Voss's tactical empathy methodology (Never Split the Difference, The Black Swan Group). Use this skill whenever the user needs help with any interpersonal situation involving influence, persuasion, or navigating difficult dynamics. This includes but is not limited to: analyzing conversations, call transcripts, or email threads; preparing for negotiations (salary, vendor, client, partner); drafting tactful responses; handling pushback, objections, or conflict; navigating difficult workplace conversations; preparing for performance reviews or raises; buying a car, house, or any big purchase; dealing with landlords, contractors, or service providers; resolving personal disagreements; practicing negotiation through role-play; or any situation where the user says things like "how should I respond to this", "they're pushing back", "I need to have a tough conversation", "how do I ask for...", "they ghosted me", "I'm not sure how to handle this person", "counter-offer", "pricing", "deal", "objection", or "difficult conversation". Activate broadly — most interpersonal communication benefits from tactical empathy whether or not the user frames it as "negotiation." This skill integrates FBI hostage negotiation techniques (93% success rate) with behavioral economics (Kahneman's Prospect Theory) and neuroscience (amygdala hijacking, loss aversion).
