google-sheets

An agent skill by cursor, from cursor/plugins. Tags: analytics, data, office, spreadsheets, visualization.

What it does

Build and edit Google Sheets with the google-sheets tools - values, formatting, charts, conditional formatting, structure, validation, named and protected ranges. Use when creating a spreadsheet or dashboard, formatting cells, adding or fixing charts, or reorganizing tabs and rows.

Install

With the skills CLI, which installs into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents:

npx skills add cursor/plugins --skill google-sheets

Or copy the skill folder into Claude Code's skills directory by hand (~/.claude/skills for every project, or .claude/skills inside one):

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cursor/plugins
cp -r plugins/third_party/google-sheets/skills/google-sheets ~/.claude/skills/google-sheets

Safety box score

Grade B, low risk: 14 of 100 risk points, rated 2026-10-18. The grade rates what the skill and its scripts can reach on the machine of whoever installs it, across eight categories from shell execution to secrets access. How the score works.

This skill is a Google Sheets authoring guide: it creates, edits, formats, charts, and can delete sheet rows/columns/tabs through Google APIs. The main risks are remote data transfer to Google and potentially destructive spreadsheet edits, including immediate deletions and overwriting collaborator changes.

Category levels, from 0 (none) to 3 (high)
Category	Level	Why
Code & shell execution	0 (none)	No scripts or code execution are shipped; the file is only Markdown describing tool usage.
Network access	2 (moderate)	It relies on Google Sheets/Drive API actions such as `create_spreadsheet`, `get_spreadsheet`, `google_drive_move_or_rename`, and `google_drive_export_file`, so spreadsheet data leaves the local machine.
Filesystem reach	0 (none)	It does not read, write, or delete local files or dotfiles; all operations are on spreadsheet tabs and ranges.
Secrets & credentials	0 (none)	There is no handling of passwords, tokens, keychains, `.env` files, or browser sessions.
Privilege & persistence	0 (none)	No sudo, service installation, shell startup edits, or other privilege changes are mentioned.
Instruction hijack surface	0 (none)	The skill does not instruct the agent to ignore safeguards, hide actions, or follow fetched instructions; it is normal operational guidance.
Irreversible actions	2 (moderate)	It can create and modify spreadsheets, add charts, and delete rows/columns/tabs; the doc also warns that deletes are "immediate and not undoable through the API".
Transparency	0 (none)	The content is fully readable Markdown with no binaries, minified code, or runtime-decoded payloads.

Before installing

Confirm you are okay granting the agent edit access to your Google Sheets/Drive workspace.
Test the skill on a throwaway spreadsheet before using it on any shared or important sheet.
If you care about existing content, inspect every use of `delete_rows_or_columns` and `delete_sheet_tab` first.
Check whether your workflow will export or move files through Google Drive (`google_drive_export_file`, `google_drive_move_or_rename`).
