Documentation

README

Google Docs Reader

To read a Google Doc:

  1. Replace /edit (or any suffix after the doc ID) with /mobilebasic
  2. ALWAYS use curl, NOT WebFetch. WebFetch summarizes/truncates content. curl gets the full document:
curl -sL 'https://docs.google.com/document/d/DOC_ID/mobilebasic' > /tmp/doc.txt
  1. Read the downloaded file with the Read tool
