Summary

  • New local-only skill gws-sheets-changeset: teaches a session that has no gws CLI (e.g. Claude.ai with the Google Drive connector) to read a sheet and emit a values.batchUpdate JSON body + exact command that a gws-equipped session can apply directly. Covers the connector's markdown/CSV quirks (empty header artifact, first tab only, values-not-formulas), merged-cell safety (anchor-cell-only writes, null for untouched cells), and the --params / --json "$(cat …)" / --dry-run handoff.
  • README: new "Local Skills" section; sync process explicitly skips local-only skills and the "go pure upstream" guideline clarifies they are never overwritten/removed by a sync.
  • Plugin version 2.1.02.2.0 (new skill = minor).

Test plan

  • RED/GREEN subagent runs (superpowers:writing-skills): baseline agent suggested --json @file and ignored the merged title row; with the skill it produced correct rows, anchor-only merge write, --params for the ID, $(cat …) + --dry-run
  • Generated JSON fed through gws sheets spreadsheets values batchUpdate … --dry-run — accepted and echoed
  • claude plugin validate ./gws and claude plugin validate . pass
  • npx markdownlint-cli2 0 issues; uvx skillsaw --strict 0 errors / 0 warnings
  • plugin-dev:skill-reviewer pass; minor findings applied

The plugin version changed from 2.1.0 to 2.2.0.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a69f1

The PR adds a new local skill, but the documented strict validation currently excludes it, leaving the added content without that required check. Merge should wait until the skill is included in strict validation or the gap is explicitly accepted by an owner.

  • Tab names can also contain apostrophes, which must be doubled inside a quoted A1 sheet name. Without this rule, a legitimate name such as Jon's Data produces an invalid range and the whole values.batchUpdate request can fail.
| Tab name with spaces unquoted | `'Q3 Data'!A1:B2` |

  • Quoting only handles spaces; a tab name containing an apostrophe (for example, Manager's Data) must double that apostrophe in A1 notation. Without this instruction, substituting such a name produces an invalid range. Show the escaping rule so generated changesets work for arbitrary tab names.
| Tab name with spaces unquoted | `'Q3 Data'!A1:B2` |

gws/skills/gws-sheets-changeset/SKILL.md:71

  • This rule contradicts its own fallback: a range that uses null for covered cells still spans the merged block. That ambiguity can make the skill reject an otherwise safe payload or write non-null values to covered cells. State the actual invariant—never provide a value for a covered cell—and distinguish splitting the range from using null.
- Never let a range span a merge's covered cells — the API reports success
  (`updatedCells` counts them) but **silently discards** those values; they are gone
  even after unmerge. Split into separate `data` entries or use `null`.

gws/skills/gws-sheets-changeset/SKILL.md:62

  • This fallback is also a write, but unlike the batch-update handoff it is emitted without --dry-run, so copying the provided command applies rows immediately. Preserve the same preview-before-apply safety contract for append operations.

This issue also appears in the following locations of the same file:

  • line 69
  • line 105
  `gws sheets +append --spreadsheet <ID> --json-values '[[...]]'` command, which finds

gws/README.md:68

  • This sync procedure is now incomplete because .skillsaw.yaml explicitly enumerates all vendored upstream skills. A newly pulled upstream skill will be linted as though it were local unless its directory is also added to exclude, which can make strict lint fail on unmodified upstream content. Document that required update whenever the upstream skill set changes.
2. For each skill in `gws/skills/*/SKILL.md`, fetch the matching file from
   `googleworkspace/cli` `skills/` on the `main` branch. Skip local-only
   skills (`gws-sheets-changeset`), which have no upstream counterpart.

gws/skills/gws-sheets-changeset/SKILL.md:64

  • The append fallback does not preserve the target tab. gws-sheets-append documents that omitting --range defaults to the first sheet, but this skill also supports changes for another tab once its contents are supplied. In that case this command would append valid data to the wrong tab; require a target-tab range and omit it only for the first tab.

gws/skills/gws-sheets-changeset/SKILL.md:112

  • This fix cannot be used for the +append fallback above because its tab range must be passed through --range, not in a JSON body. Consequently, the prescribed exact command for a non-first tab can still fail on ! in an interactive shell. Add the append-specific way to disable history expansion before running that command.
| Passing `'Tab'!A1` inline in a double-quoted arg in an interactive shell (`!` may trigger history expansion) | Keep ranges in the JSON file; load it with `$(cat …)` |

gws/skills/gws-sheets-changeset/SKILL.md:62

  • +append is not a drop-in fallback for every changeset: its current parser accepts only arrays of strings and hardcodes USER_ENTERED. Reusing numeric, boolean, or null values from the batch body makes parsing fail, while a changeset that selected RAW silently gets different semantics. Require string arrays for the USER_ENTERED helper path, and use the raw spreadsheets.values.append method with valueInputOption=RAW when literal strings are required; loading the append body from a file also avoids breaking on apostrophes in cell text.

This issue also appears on line 112 of the same file.

Teach a session without the gws CLI (e.g. Claude.ai with the Drive
connector) to turn a sheet read into a values.batchUpdate JSON body that
a gws-equipped session can apply directly. Marked local-only and
excluded from the upstream sync process.

  • Displayed results do not reliably identify formula-backed cells: a formula can return an ordinary value or even a blank. Limiting the warning to targets that “look computed” can therefore omit formulas from the handoff and let the runner overwrite them without verification. Require every target in existing rows to be treated as potentially formula-backed.
| Values, never formulas | Computed cells show their result. Flag before overwriting anything that looks computed |
