At a glance

  • Create and edit documents programmatically
  • SKILL.md covers Installation and Usage
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Update document content and formatting

What it does

Google Docs is an agent skill from refly-ai/refly-skills. Integrate with Google Docs for document management and collaboration. Use when you need to: (1) create and edit documents programmatically, (2) update document content and formatting, (3) manage document permissions and sharing, or (4) search and retrieve document information.

Its SKILL.md is about 280 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Cloud office suites. It works with Google Docs. The repository describes itself as: Refly skills repository.

When your agent uses it

  • Create and edit documents programmatically
  • Update document content and formatting
  • Manage document permissions and sharing
  • Search and retrieve document information

Example prompts

  • “/google-docs”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5a546d2. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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 284 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 62 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~284

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 62 words (~284 tokens).

“Integrate with Google Docs for document management and collaboration. Use when you need to: (1) create and edit documents programmatically, (2) update document content and formatting, (3) manage document permissions and sharing, or (4) search and retrieve document information.”
