## Description

Google Docs: Append text to a document.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# docs +write

> **PREREQUISITE:** Read `../gws-shared/SKILL.md` for auth, global flags, and security rules. If missing, run `gws generate-skills` to create it.

Append text to a document

## Usage

```bash
gws docs +write --document <ID> --text <TEXT>
```

## Flags

| Flag | Required | Default | Description |
|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `--document` | ✓ |, | Document ID |
| `--text` | ✓ |, | Text to append (plain text) |

## Examples

gws docs +write --document DOC_ID --text 'Hello, world!'

## Tips

- Text is inserted at the end of the document body.
- For rich formatting, use the raw batchUpdate API instead.
