The skill

The Google Drive (gws) skill lets your agent manage Drive files, folders, shared drives, permissions, comments and revisions through the gws command line, for teams who want their agent to work in Google Drive.

Only when you ask.

The habit

Know what changed in Drive.

↻ Runs by itselfevery morning

How the habit works.
You don't have to.

Three questionsWhen does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?

01

It starts by itself

every morning. Runs in Claude Code routine or cron.

  • ↻ every morning
  • 0 8 * * *

02

It checks its work

token saved, digest written. If a check fails, it tells you.

  • ✓gws schema run for each method before the call
  • ✓fields parameter set where the method requires it
  • ✓new page token saved in the memory file
  • ✓digest file exists with a count of changes

03

It remembers

saved page token. The next run reads it first: the page token from the last run.

loops/drive-changes-digest-loop/state.md

One run, step by step.
Then it stops.

Stop ruleStops after 100 changes per run; the rest wait for the next run.

  1. 01

    Read shared rules

    Your agent reads ../gws-shared/SKILL.md for auth, global flags and security rules.

  2. 02

    Load the token

    It reads the saved page token, or gets one with changes getStartPageToken.

  3. 03

    List changes

    It runs gws drive changes list from that token, after checking gws schema.

  4. 04

    Check sharing

    For each changed file it runs permissions list to see who has access.

  5. 05

    Write the digest

    It writes what changed and who can see it.

  6. 06

    Save the token

    It stores the new page token for the next run.

What it may do.
Nothing more.

Safe by defaultIt writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.
