Introduction

# Google Docs from Markdown

Create Google Docs from Markdown files using the workflow: Markdown → DOCX → Drive Upload → Google Docs.

## Why This Skill Exists

`gog docs` CLI does NOT support writing/updating content to Google Docs. It only supports: - `create` - Create empty doc - `export` - Export to file - `cat` - Read content - `copy` - Copy existing doc

This skill provides the missing workflow to create Google Docs WITH content from Markdown.

## Author

Created by **techla**

## Prerequisites

- `gog` CLI authenticated with Google account - `pandoc` binary (auto-downloaded on first use if not available)

## Installation Note

After installing from ClawHub, fix the script permissions: ```bash chmod +x ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/gdocs-markdown/scripts/gdocs-create.sh ```

## Usage

### Quick Create

```bash # Create Google Doc from markdown file gdocs-create.sh /path/to/file.md "Tiêu đề Document" ```

### Manual Workflow

If you need more control, follow these steps:

1. **Ensure pandoc is available:** ```bash # Auto-downloaded to /tmp/pandoc-3.1.11/bin/pandoc on first use # Or use system pandoc if available ```

2. **Convert Markdown to DOCX:** ```bash /tmp/pandoc-3.1.11/bin/pandoc input.md -o output.docx ```

3. **Upload to Drive (auto-converts to Google Docs):** ```bash gog drive upload output.docx ```

4. **Result:** Google Drive returns a link to the converted Google Doc

## Script Reference

See `scripts/gdocs-create.sh` for the helper script that automates this workflow.

## Example

```bash # Create a report from markdown echo "# Báo Cáo\n\nNội dung..." > /tmp/report.md gdocs-create.sh /tmp/report.md "Báo Cáo Tháng 2"

# Output: https://docs.google.com/document/d/xxxxx/edit ```

## Notes

- Google Drive automatically converts DOCX to Google Docs format on upload - The resulting document is fully editable in Google Docs - Original DOCX file remains in Drive but can be deleted if only Google Docs version is needed
