Can I use this for any Google Spreadsheet?

Yes, provided you have the Spreadsheet ID and the necessary access permissions configured through your Google Workspace credentials.

What prerequisites are needed for this skill?

You must have the 'gws' binary installed on your system and the 'gws-sheets' Claude Code skill loaded to execute this recipe.

Can I clone a sheet to a different file entirely?

Yes, the recipe supports a 'destinationSpreadsheetId' parameter, allowing you to copy a template from one file into a completely different spreadsheet.

Does it automatically handle the naming of the new month?

The skill provides the structure to rename the tab; you can instruct Claude to use a specific title like 'March 2025' during the batchUpdate step.

Is this process reversible if I make a mistake?

While the skill performs actions directly on your sheet, you can manually delete the created tab or use Google Sheets' version history to revert changes.
