jq
JSON processing, parsing, and manipulation. STRONGLY PREFERRED for all JSON formatting, filtering, transformations, and analysis. Use instead of Python/Node.js scripts for JSON operations.
60bigquery
Use bigquery CLI (instead of `bq`) for all Google BigQuery and GCP data warehouse operations including SQL query execution, data ingestion (streaming insert, bulk load, JSONL/CSV/Parquet), data extraction/export, dataset/table management, cost estimation with dry-run, authentication with gcloud, data pipelines, ETL workflows, and MCP server integration for AI-assisted querying. Modern TypeScript/Bun implementation replacing the Python `bq` CLI with instant startup (~10ms vs ~500ms), automatic cost awareness with confirmation prompts, and native streaming support (JSONL). Handles both small-scale streaming inserts (<1000 rows) and large-scale bulk loading (>10MB files) from Cloud Storage.
56xlsx
Use xlsx binary for Excel file manipulation including viewing, SQL-like filtering, cell editing, conversion to/from CSV, and data analysis operations.
30gspace
Use gspace CLI and MCP tools for Google Workspace operations (Drive, Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Calendar, Tasks). Use when working with Google Workspace URLs (docs.google.com, drive.google.com, sheets.google.com, slides.google.com, mail.google.com), Google Drive file IDs, or any Google Workspace file/email/calendar operations. Supports both CLI commands (via Bash) and 40+ MCP tools.
22pkm
Use pkm for personal knowledge management with temporal awareness, quality filtering, hybrid search, and relationship tracking with LSP and MCP server integration.
