Google Docs API integration with managed OAuth. Create documents, insert text, apply formatting, and manage content. Use this skill when users want to interact with Google Docs. 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 Docs API with managed OAuth authentication. Create documents, insert and format text, and manage document content.

https://gateway.maton.ai/google-docs/{native-api-path} Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Google Docs API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to docs.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

Index positions are 1-based (document starts at index 1) Use endOfSegmentLocation to append at end Multiple requests in batchUpdate are applied atomically Get document first to find correct indices for updates The fields parameter in style updates uses field mask syntax IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets (fields[], sort[], records[]) 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. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.
