Google Sheets API integration with managed OAuth. Read and write spreadsheet data, create sheets, apply formatting, and manage ranges. Use this skill when users want to read from or write to Google Sheets. 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 Sheets API with managed OAuth authentication. Read and write spreadsheet values, create sheets, apply formatting, and perform batch operations.

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

When using curl, ranges in URL paths must be URL-encoded (! -> %21, : -> %3A). JavaScript fetch and Python requests handle encoding automatically. Use valueInputOption=USER_ENTERED to parse formulas and numbers Delete spreadsheets via the Google Drive API, not Sheets API Sheet IDs are numeric and found in the spreadsheet metadata 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.

Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set: echo $MATON_API_KEY Verify the API key is valid by listing connections: python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF
Ensure your URL path starts with google-sheets. For example: Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/google-sheets/v4/spreadsheets/SPREADSHEET_ID Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/v4/spreadsheets/SPREADSHEET_ID
