Automated audit: This PR was generated by NLPM, a natural language programming linter, running via claude-code-action. Please evaluate the diff on its merits.

The recipe-post-mortem-setup skill contains an invalid gws docs +write invocation. The flags --title and --body do not exist on the +write subcommand. The correct flags are --document <ID> and --text <TEXT>. Additionally, the document must be created first (via gws docs documents create) to obtain a documentId before any content can be written to it. Without this fix, the recipe fails at step 1 with an unrecognized flag error, making the entire post-mortem workflow non-functional.

The fix splits the original step 1 into two steps: first create the document and capture the returned documentId, then write the template content using the correct flags.

The +write subcommand requires --document <ID> and --text <TEXT>.
The --title and --body flags do not exist. Add a preceding step to
create the document via `gws docs documents create` and capture the
returned documentId before writing the template content.

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a functional bug in the recipe-post-mortem-setup skill where incorrect CLI flags were causing the workflow to fail. By restructuring the document creation process and updating the command syntax, the post-mortem setup is now correctly aligned with the expected gws CLI behavior.

Highlights

  • Corrected CLI flags: Updated the gws docs +write command to use the correct --document and --text flags instead of the invalid --title and --body flags.
  • Workflow adjustment: Split the document creation and content writing into two distinct steps to ensure a valid documentId is available before writing content.

Code Review

This pull request updates the post-mortem setup skill documentation to correctly reflect the two-step process of creating a Google Doc and then writing content to it, fixing the use of incorrect flags. A review comment points out that the document creation command should use the --json flag instead of --params to ensure the document title is correctly passed in the request body.

1. Create post-mortem doc: `gws docs +write --title 'Post-Mortem: [Incident]' --body '## Summary\n\n## Timeline\n\n## Root Cause\n\n## Action Items'`
2. Schedule review meeting: `gws calendar +insert --summary 'Post-Mortem Review: [Incident]' --attendee team@company.com --start '2026-03-16T14:00:00' --end '2026-03-16T15:00:00'`
3. Notify in Chat: `gws chat +send --space spaces/ENG_SPACE --text '🔍 Post-mortem scheduled for [Incident].'`
1. Create post-mortem doc: `gws docs documents create --params '{"title": "Post-Mortem: [Incident]"}'` (note the returned `documentId`)

The gws docs documents create command should use the --json flag instead of --params for the document title. In the Google Docs API, the title is a property of the Document resource passed in the request body, not a URL parameter. Using --params will likely result in the title being ignored or the command failing.

Suggested change
1. Create post-mortem doc: `gws docs documents create --params '{"title": "Post-Mortem: [Incident]"}'` (note the returned `documentId`)
1. Create post-mortem doc: `gws docs documents create --json '{"title": "Post-Mortem: [Incident]"}'` (note the returned `documentId`)
