Claude Opus 4.6 couldn't figure out how to use it to write to a Google Sheet (something to do with escaping the !?) and fell back to calling the sheets API directly with gcloud auth.

Can you tell it to write to /tmp/s.py instead of trying to execute it inline?
You should use Gemini obviously </s>
Yeah, that one can't even figure out how to write a formula, or sometimes read data when it's sitting WITHIN context of sheets.

I get better experience if I just copy-paste the sheet data into Gemini web. And IIRC copy-paste is just space "delimited" by default.
