What it does

Google Docs is an agent skill from cursor/plugins, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Author and edit Google Docs with the google-docs tools - structured writing, character and paragraph styling, lists, tables, images, headers/footers. Use when creating a formatted document, editing document content, or applying styles.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Cloud office suites. It works with Google Docs. The repository describes itself as: Cursor plugin specification and official plugins.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating a formatted document
  • Editing document content
  • Applying styles

Example prompts

  • “/google-docs”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ccb5507. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Google Docs loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 811 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 811 words (~1,540 tokens).

“Docs edits address zero-based UTF-16 index ranges within one tab, and every write SHIFTS later indexes. Guessed or stale indexes silently hit the wrong paragraphs - the classic symptom is two lists merging into one continued numbering. The tools remove…”
