Example workflows

Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.

1. 01

   Stand it up from scratch

   You have read the record and want Google Sheets working in a real project rather than a sandbox.

   Set up Google Sheets in this project — read and write data in any Google Sheet. Walk it end to end, tell me exactly what you changed, and flag anything I have to switch on myself before it works.

   Expected outcome

   A working setup, a plain list of what changed, and a short list of anything left for you to switch on. Check that list before assuming it is done.

2. 02

   Review it before you publish

   Google Sheets is wired in and you are about to put it in front of people. This is the pass that catches the half-configured version.

   Review how this project uses Google Sheets before I publish. Check data entry and real-time collaboration, list anything that is missing, misconfigured, or only half wired, fix what is safe to fix, and tell me what you left alone and why.

   Expected outcome

   A findings list split into what was fixed and what was left, with a reason for each. Anything left alone is yours to decide on.

3. 03

   Decide whether it fits your project

   Worth five minutes before you wire anything in. Google Sheets sits in Integrations, and not every project needs it.

   I am building the project in this workspace. Given that Google Sheets read and write data in any Google Sheet, tell me honestly whether it fits what I am building, including the cases where I should not use it. If it does fit, give me the single smallest first step.

   Expected outcome

   A direct yes or no with the reasoning, the cases against it, and one first step. Treat a hedged answer as a no.
