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.

pandoc
binary (auto-downloaded on first use if not available)
Installation Note

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:
-
Ensure pandoc is available:
# Auto-downloaded to /tmp/pandoc-3.1.11/bin/pandoc on first use
# Or use system pandoc if available
-
Convert Markdown to DOCX:
/tmp/pandoc-3.1.11/bin/pandoc input.md -o output.docx
-
Upload to Drive (auto-converts to Google Docs):
gog drive upload output.docx
-
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"
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
