Workspace Task Runner
Run multi-app Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Calendar tasks with a read, plan, confirm, write, verify loop.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
That sounds useful for keeping your calendar and tasks in sync. You'd need to set up some kind of integration or automation between the two systems. There are a few different approaches you could take — webhooks, scheduled syncs, or maybe a third-party tool. The tricky part is deciding which events should create tasks and what the reverse sync should look like. Would you want all calendar events to become tasks, or just specific ones? How should conflicts be handled? I can help you think through the logic, but it depends on your specific workflow preferences.
SKILL ACTIVATED: Google Workspace Connecting with: Deep Work, Calendar integration suite WORKFLOW CONFIGURED SYNC DIRECTION: Calendar → Tasks (one-way, preventing conflicts) RULES SET: Calendar events tagged #task → auto-create task 24 hours before start time Task assigned to: same person as calendar event attendee Task priority: high if calendar event has meeting, medium otherwise Task due date: matched to event start time EXCLUSIONS (no sync): All-day events tagged #personal Calendar blocks with duration under 30 minutes Recurring standups (daily/weekly) TWO-WAY SYNC ENABLED FOR: Task completion → marks calendar event as done in notes Task deadline moved → updates calendar event time if same person requested TEST RUN RESULTS: 47 events processed 23 tasks created 0 conflicts detected ACTIVE STATUS: Syncing every 4 hours Next sync window: Jul 31 2:00pm UTC Task backlog ready for review CUSTOMIZATION: Adjust frequency, tag filters, and priority rules as needed
About this skill
Hand off tasks like 'file every September invoice from Gmail into Drive and log it in the tracker' and see exactly what will change before anything does. Every write is scoped, confirmed, and read back.
What it does
- Clarifies scope precisely (search queries, folders, ranges) and checks which Google tools are actually connected
- Inventories matches and checks for existing results so re-runs don't create duplicates
- Shows a numbered plan of every operation and marks the irreversible ones
- Requires separate confirmation to send email, share externally, or delete
- Verifies each change after writing and reports how to undo it
What you get
A task report with scope, counts found and skipped, a table of changes with links, verification results, items that need your attention, and undo steps.
Best for
Operators, assistants, and small teams who live in Google Workspace and want reliable automation without surprises.

description: Carry out everyday multi-app tasks across Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Calendar through whatever Google connector or MCP is available, using a read-plan-confirm-write-verify loop so every change is scoped, previewed, and checked. Use when the user asks things like "save all invoices from Gmail into a Drive folder and log them in a Sheet", "draft replies to these threads", "update the tracker from these emails", "pull the tasks out of my team's status emails into a spreadsheet", or "build a doc from this spreadsheet", including casual asks like "can you check if Acme replied", "add these to my calendar", or "clean up my email".
