name: google-docs description: Creates, reads, appends, and replaces Google Docs content via docs_* tools. Use for PRDs, meeting notes, and document edits when documentId is known or resolved via Drive.

Google Docs

Purpose

Create and mutate Google Docs: create with title/content, read, append at end, or replace body—using documentId from create or from google-drive search.

When to Use

• Create a new Doc with title and optional initial content.
• Read or append to an existing Doc.
• Replace document content wholesale.

When NOT to Use

• Finding an unknown Doc by name → google-drive first for documentId.
• Spreadsheets → google-sheets.
• Skill repo work → create-skill / publish-skill.

Expected Outcome

• documentId returned on create and reused for subsequent ops.
• Read/append/replace confirmed from tool responses.
• No fabricated document text.

Inputs to Gather

• documentId (from create or Drive).
• Title and initial content for creates.
• Append text or full replacement body as specified.

Workflow

1. If documentId is unknown, use google-drive (drive_search / drive_get_file) to resolve it.
2. Create: docs_create_document (title, optional content) → save documentId.
3. Read: docs_read_document with documentId.
4. Append: docs_append_text at end when adding content.
5. Replace: docs_replace_content when overwriting existing content.
6. Summarize what changed; cite documentId.

Domain rules

1. Create returns documentId—required for later calls.
2. Append vs replace: Append for additions; replace for full rewrites.
3. Resolve via Drive when the user references a doc by name only.

Main tools

• docs_create_document, docs_read_document, docs_append_text, docs_replace_content

Examples

New PRD doc: docs_create_document with title and first line; return link/id from response.

Append meeting notes: docs_append_text with documentId and user text.

Tool Availability Rules

Access	Behavior
Full tool access	Create, read, append, replace.
Read-only	Read only; draft writes for approval.
No integration	Do not fabricate document content.

Related tool sets

• google-docs

Review / Decision / Execution Criteria

• Smallest change: append vs replace intentionally.
• Confirm large replacements with the user when appropriate.

Output Format

1. Request and documentId.
2. Excerpt or confirmation from tools.
3. Errors.
4. Drive search follow-up if ID was missing.

Quality Bar

• Preserve user wording for append/replace when given verbatim.
• Ground reads in docs_read_document output.

Safety and Boundaries

• No confidential content in examples.
• Confirm destructive full replace when scope is unclear.

Escalation / Dispatch Rules

• Missing file → google-drive then return here.
• No write access → output planned docs_* calls.
