Google Workspace Ops
Operate shared docs, spreadsheets, and decks as working systems.
When to Use
- Finding and updating a doc in place
- Consolidating plans, trackers, or notes across files
- Cleaning or restructuring a shared spreadsheet
- Importing, repairing, or reformatting slides
- Summarizing Docs, Sheets, or Slides for decisions
Workflow
1. Find the Asset
Start with Google Drive search to locate:
- The exact file
- Sibling or duplicate assets
- Recently modified versions
Confirm by title, owner, modified time, or folder.
2. Inspect Before Editing
Summarize current structure:
- Tabs, headings, slide count
- Whether task is cleanup or structural surgery
- Pick the smallest tool that works safely
3. Edit with Precision
- Docs — Use index-aware edits, not vague rewrites
- Sheets — Operate on explicit tabs and ranges
- Slides — Distinguish content edits from layout/template changes
Iterate with inspection → verify instead of one blind update.
4. Keep Systems Clean
Surface:
- Duplicate trackers or decks
- Stale vs canonical docs
- Archive/merge candidates
Output Format
ASSET: [name, type, why this one]
CURRENT STATE: [structure, key problems]
ACTION: [edits made or recommended]
FOLLOW-UPS: [archive, merge, clean, next steps]
Good Use Cases
- "Find the active planning doc and condense it"
- "Clean up the customer spreadsheet and show churn-risk rows"
- "Import this deck into Slides and make it presentable"
- "Find the current tracker, not the stale duplicate"
