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.

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:

chmod +x ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/gdocs-markdown/scripts/gdocs-create.sh

Usage

Quick Create

# 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:

    # Auto-downloaded to /tmp/pandoc-3.1.11/bin/pandoc on first use
# Or use system pandoc if available

  2. Convert Markdown to DOCX:

    /tmp/pandoc-3.1.11/bin/pandoc input.md -o output.docx

  3. Upload to Drive (auto-converts to Google Docs):

    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

# 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
