Google Doc Format Skill

Create professionally formatted Google Docs from markdown using gog docs create --file. The key insight: markdown tables and formatting render properly as native Google Docs elements when passed through the --file flag.

Core Method

Always use gog docs create with --file to import markdown. Never use gog docs write or gog docs insert for full documents — those don't parse markdown tables.

gog docs create "Doc Title" --file source.md --parent "FOLDER_ID" --pageless --force --no-input

Flags:

• --file — Import markdown file (required for proper table rendering)
• --parent — Google Drive folder ID
• --pageless — Use pageless layout (recommended for reports/audits)
• --force — Skip confirmations

Markdown → Google Docs Mapping

Table Formatting Rules

Markdown pipe tables render as native Google Docs tables — this is the main value of this skill. Tables are the element most likely to break when creating docs any other way.

Correct format:

| # | Document | Link |
|---|----------|------|
| 01 | Technical SEO Audit | [Open doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/DOC_ID/edit) |
| 02 | On-Page SEO Audit | [Open doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/DOC_ID/edit) |

What NOT to do:

• ❌ Tab-separated values (no \ between columns)
• ❌ Plain text pretending to be a table
• ❌ Using gog docs write with raw text (doesn't parse markdown)
• ❌ Putting tables inside code blocks (won't render as tables)

**Key takeaway:** Summary sentence after the table.

Workflow

1. Write markdown to temp file — cat > /tmp/doc_name.md << 'EOF'
2. Create doc — gog docs create "Title" --file /tmp/doc_name.md --parent FOLDER_ID --pageless --force --no-input
3. Verify structure — gog docs structure DOC_ID --no-input | grep -i table
4. Verify content — gog docs cat DOC_ID --no-input | head -20

Verification Checklist

After creating, verify:

• [ ] gog docs structure shows TABLE elements (not just NORMAL_TEXT with pipe characters)
• [ ] Table row counts match expected dimensions (e.g., [table 6x3])
• [ ] Links are clickable: [Open doc](url) renders as hyperlinks
• [ ] Heading hierarchy is correct (H1 > H2 > H3)
• [ ] Bold text renders (check structure output for inline formatting)

Replacing an Existing Doc

To replace a badly formatted doc:

1. Create new doc with --file flag
2. Verify formatting on the new doc
3. Rename new doc to match old name: gog drive rename NEW_ID "Original Name" --force --no-input
4. Delete old doc: gog drive delete OLD_ID --force --no-input
5. Move new doc to correct folder if needed: gog drive move NEW_ID --parent FOLDER_ID --force --no-input

Common Issues

Rate Limiting

Google Docs API has per-minute write quotas. When creating multiple docs:

• Add sleep 3 between create operations
• If you get 429 errors, wait 60 seconds and retry
• For large batches (5+ docs), add sleep 5 between each

Getting Doc IDs for Link Tables

To build a link index:

1. List folder contents: gog drive ls --parent FOLDER_ID --json --no-input
2. Extract IDs and names with: python3 -c "import json,sys; data=json.load(sys.stdin); [print(f'{f[\"name\"]} | {f[\"id\"]}') for f in data.get('files',[])]"
3. Build Google Doc URLs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/DOC_ID/edit
