Google Contacts API integration with managed OAuth. Manage contacts, contact groups, and search your address book. Use this skill when users want to create, read, update, or delete contacts, manage contact groups, or search for people in their Google account. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Access the Google People API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage contacts, contact groups, and search your address book.

https://gateway.maton.ai/google-contacts/{native-api-path} Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Google People API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to people.googleapis.com and automatically injects your OAuth token.
All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header: Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY: export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
Sign in or create an account at maton.ai Go to maton.ai/settings Copy your API key

Resource names for contacts follow the pattern people/c{id} (e.g., people/c1234567890) Resource names for contact groups follow the pattern contactGroups/{id} (e.g., contactGroups/abc123) System contact groups include: starred, friends, family, coworkers, myContacts, all, blocked The personFields parameter is required for most read operations When updating contacts, include the etag to prevent overwriting concurrent changes Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets to disable glob parsing IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments
