What it does
Google Docs is an agent skill from zapier/connectors, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Agent-callable Google Docs tools — create, read, export, and find documents; edit text, formatting, images, and page style. Use when the user mentions Google Docs or wants to create, read, search, or edit document content, even if they don't name Google Docs explicitly.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 81 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `.mcp.json` and `CHANGELOG.md`). Compatibility notes: Run npm install --omit=dev in this directory, then node cli.js. The TypeScript source needs Node.js 22.18+; on older Node, run cli.js for build-it-yourself /…
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Cloud office suites. It works with Google Docs. The repository describes itself as: Connect your agent to the apps you already use - with or without Zapier.
When your agent uses it
- The user mentions Google Docs
- Wants to create
- Edit document content
- Even if they dont name Google Docs explicitly
Example prompts
- “/google-docs”
Requirements
- Node.js
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Run `npm install --omit=dev` in this directory, then `node cli.js`. The TypeScript source needs Node.js 22.18+; on older Node, run `cli.js` for build-it-yourself / prebuilt / alternative-runtime options.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e48d26f. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (TypeScript and JavaScript, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npmnpxgit
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
docs.googleapis.comgoogleapis.com
Also links to:
developers.google.comagentskills.io
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.
Compatibility
Run `npm install --omit=dev` in this directory, then `node cli.js`. The TypeScript source needs Node.js 22.18+; on older Node, run `cli.js` for build-it-yourself / prebuilt / alternative-runtime options.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Google Docs loads about 4.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~22k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,523 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Elastic-2.0) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,523 words (~4,714 tokens).
“Tools for working with Google Docs against the Google Docs API v1 (https://docs.googleapis.com/v1/) for document content, and the Google Drive API v3 (https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/) for the find / export / copy-template / folder operations the Docs API doesn't provide. 22 tools…”

How do I install Google Docs in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add zapier/connectors --skill google-docs -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (apps/google-docs in zapier/connectors) into .claude/skills/google-docs in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Google Docs in Codex?

Can I use Google Docs in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add zapier/connectors --skill google-docs -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/google-docs, .gemini/skills/google-docs, .github/skills/google-docs and .opencode/skills/google-docs in your project.
What does Google Docs need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Google Docs needs TypeScript and JavaScript for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (npm, npx and git). Our summary lists: Node.js. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Run `npm install --omit=dev` in this directory, then `node cli.js`. The TypeScript source needs Node.js 22.18+; on older Node, run `cli.js` for build-it-yourself / prebuilt / alternative-runtime options..
Does Google Docs access the network?
SKILL.md names 4 domains. In commands or code: docs.googleapis.com and googleapis.com; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: developers.google.com and agentskills.io. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Google Docs safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Google Docs use?
Google Docs is published under the Elastic-2.0 licence (declared in SKILL.md).
How many tokens does Google Docs use?
About 4.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 19k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 17k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to Google Docs?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Google Docs: Managing Google Workspace (taylorwilsdon/google_workspace_mcp, 3.3k stars), Colleague Distillation (ZhixiangLuo/10xProductivity, 478 stars), Gdoc To Markdown (iurykrieger/claude-bedrock, 105 stars) and Cache Notes (benoror/obsidianos_work, 165 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
