Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00207 | $0.03387 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00083 | $0.01355 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00041 | $0.00677 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00339 |
Grade A, and why
google-workspace scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
91% identical to google-workspace — 10 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides
The Google connectors are thin wrappers over Google's raw APIs, with almost no guidance of their own. This skill supplies that guidance: which connector does what, the rules that keep edits in the user's file, and, in one reference file per app, how each API really behaves. Most of the app-specific rules in the references were tested against Google's Docs, Sheets and Slides APIs; the rest were seen through the connectors, and a few have not been checked yet.
Read the reference before you touch the file
| Working on | Read first | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| A Google Doc | references/docs.md |
Docs edits address UTF-16 positions that shift after every insert and go stale after every write. Tabs and pending suggestions change the positions too. |
| A Google Sheet | references/sheets.md |
Both write tools parse input like the Sheets UI, so text can silently become numbers or dates. Formatting needs numeric sheet IDs, 0-based ranges, and field masks without parentheses. |
| A Google Slides deck | references/slides.md |
Positions are in EMU, an element's real size is its size times its scale, and an unmasked read can exceed 150 KB for three slides. Slides never shrinks text to fit. |
Read the reference for every app the task touches before the first edit. Embedding a Sheets chart in a deck means reading both. The references are short, and skipping one is how edits land in the wrong place.
1. Check the connectors before you start
| Connector | What it can do |
|---|---|
| Google Drive | Create files, upload and convert content, rename, read a file as text, export (PDF and other formats), search, trash |
| Google Docs | Read a doc's full structure and edit it in place, directly or as suggestions |
| Google Sheets | Read values and structure, write values and formulas, format, add tabs and charts |
| Google Slides | Read a deck, add and edit slides, shapes, text, tables, and linked charts |
Drive can create all three file types. It can't edit a file after that. Without the matching editor connector, every change means a new file and a new link, and the user loses the link they already have.
What ships with it
8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
- 9d ago First seen · 98 lines · 207 tokens per session scan A bb860cdb59a3
google-workspace is a skill published in the GitHub repository tonyghiani/ai-essentials (7 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 207 tokens to every session and 3,387 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to google-workspace, differing in 10 lines, and is treated as a copy.
