What it does
When installed, the agent can set up a new Google Sheets spreadsheet named 'Expense Tracker 2025' in your Google Drive, add a header row (Date, Category, Description, Amount), and add one sample expense entry. It can also share the sheet with a manager's email address as a reader. It works by running the gws command-line tool against your Google account rather than just giving advice.
Great for
- People who want a quick, ready-made expense log in Google Sheets without building it by hand
- Small teams or staff who need to share an expense sheet with a manager in read-only mode
- Users who already have the gws command-line tool installed and authenticated with Google Workspace
Skip it if
- Users who do not want an agent to create files or change sharing settings in their Google Drive, since the steps write to and share a live account
- Anyone needing a full budgeting or accounting system, because it only creates a basic sheet with one sample row
- Situations needing a specific manager address or file name, since the recipe hard-codes 'manager@company.com' and 'Expense Tracker 2025' and must be edited first
Try asking
- “Set up an expense tracker spreadsheet in my Google Drive”
- “Create a Google Sheets expense log and share it as read-only with my manager”
- “Make a new expense tracker sheet with Date, Category, Description and Amount columns”

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Edit the manager email address and file name in the steps before running, since the example values are placeholders
- Replace SHEET_ID with the real ID returned when the spreadsheet is created, and check the sheet after each step
- Review the sharing step carefully, because it grants access to a real email address on your Google account
