Recipe Backup Sheet As Csv

Export a Google Sheets spreadsheet as a CSV file for local backup or processing.

Security Scan

The skill's requirements and runtime instructions are coherent with its stated purpose (exporting a Google Sheet to CSV); it delegates authentication to the gws CLI and to the gws-sheets/gws-drive skills but does not ask for unrelated secrets or perform unexplained actions.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description match the actual instructions: all steps use the gws CLI to read or export a spreadsheet as CSV. The required binary (gws) and the declared helper skills (gws-sheets, gws-drive) are appropriate for the task.

Instruction Scope

Instructions are narrowly scoped to calling gws commands with a spreadsheet ID and range. They do not request arbitrary file reads or network exfiltration. Note: the recipe explicitly requires loading gws-sheets and gws-drive skills — those helper skills (not included here) likely handle authentication and may access credentials or other APIs.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. Nothing is downloaded or written to disk by this skill itself.

Credentials

This skill declares no env vars or credentials, which is proportionate to an instruction-only recipe. However, the gws CLI and the required helper skills will typically need Google authentication (OAuth tokens or credentials) stored outside this skill; those are not requested here but are necessary at runtime.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request any special persistent privileges or modify other skills' configs. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but the skill's actions are limited and focused.

Assessment

This recipe is internally consistent for exporting a Google Sheet to CSV. Before installing, verify you trust the gws CLI and the referenced helper skills (gws-sheets, gws-drive) because they will perform authentication and access your Google Drive/Sheets. Confirm where your Google credentials/OAuth tokens are stored and that you are comfortable granting the CLI access to the sheets you intend to export. Test first with a non-sensitive sheet and review the helper skills' docs or code (if available) to ensure they don't perform additional actions you didn't expect.

Export a Google Sheet as CSV

PREREQUISITE: Load the following skills to execute this recipe: gws-sheets, gws-drive

Export a Google Sheets spreadsheet as a CSV file for local backup or processing.

Steps

1. Get spreadsheet details: gws sheets spreadsheets get --params '{"spreadsheetId": "SHEET_ID"}'
2. Export as CSV: gws drive files export --params '{"fileId": "SHEET_ID", "mimeType": "text/csv"}'
3. Or read values directly: gws sheets +read --spreadsheet SHEET_ID --range 'Sheet1' --format csv
