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
