Use gws docs to create and manage Google Docs from the command line.
# Create a new document
gws docs create --title "Meeting Notes"
# Create with initial content
gws docs create --title "Project Plan" --body "Initial project outline"
# Get document content
gws docs get <document-id>
# Get as JSON
gws docs get <document-id> --format json
# Get document metadata
gws docs get <document-id> --metadata
# Append text to a document
gws docs update <document-id> --append "New section content"
# Insert text at a specific index
gws docs update <document-id> --insert "Header text" --index 1
The Docs API supports batch updates for complex document modifications:
# Apply batch updates via JSON
gws docs batchUpdate <document-id> --requests '[
{
"insertText": {
"location": {"index": 1},
"text": "New Title\n"
}
},
{
"updateTextStyle": {
"range": {"startIndex": 1, "endIndex": 10},
"textStyle": {"bold": true},
"fields": "bold"
}
}

# Export via Drive API as PDF
gws drive files export <document-id> --mime-type "application/pdf" --output ./doc.pdf
# Export as plain text
gws drive files export <document-id> --mime-type "text/plain" --output ./doc.txt
# Export as DOCX
gws drive files export <document-id> --mime-type "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document" --output ./doc.docx
Google Docs uses a structured model with:
Use --format json to inspect document structure:
gws docs get <document-id> --format json | jq '.body.content'

Manually reproduce what the github-app plugin's SessionStart hook does to make a GitHub App installation token usable in the current session — materialize the PEM, generate the token, isolate GH_CONFIG_DIR, write the runtime env file, and wire CLAUDE_ENV_FILE so every Bash call sees GH_TOKEN/GITHUB_TOKEN. Use when the hook did not run, the token is missing from the environment, or a shell/teammate needs the token wired up by hand. <example>GH_TOKEN isn't set even though github-app is configured</example> <example>the github-app SessionStart hook didn't run, set up the token manually</example> <example>wire the github app token into CLAUDE_ENV_FILE</example> <example>gh keeps falling back to the wrong account, isolate GH_CONFIG_DIR</example>

Manually configure the GitHub App bot git identity the way the github-app plugin's SessionStart hook does — resolve the app slug and bot user ID, build the <slug>[bot] name and noreply email, set GIT_AUTHOR_*/GIT_COMMITTER_* env vars, and write an isolated GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL with the gh auth git-credential helper. Use when commits are attributed to the wrong account, "Author identity unknown" appears, or git identity must be set up by hand. <example>my commits are showing up as the handler, not the bot</example> <example>git says Author identity unknown after the github-app hook ran</example> <example>configure the github app bot git identity manually</example> <example>set up the gh credential helper for git push</example>

# Bash Chaining Alternatives This skill teaches you how to work around the bash command chaining restriction enforced by this plugin. ## Why Chaining is Blocked The `bash-command-rejection` plugin blocks these operators: | Operator | Name | Why Blocked | | -------- | ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `&&` | AND chain | Runs cmd2 only if cmd1 su
