What it does

This skill gives an AI agent a step-by-step recipe for tidying up Google Drive. The agent can create a project folder, add sub-folders inside it, move existing files into the right place, and then list the folder contents to check the result. It works by issuing commands with the gws command-line tool and depends on the gws-drive skill for the underlying Drive operations.

Great for

  • People who want an agent to set up a consistent folder layout in Google Drive for a new project or quarter
  • Teams that regularly file documents into shared Drive folders and want the sorting done by an agent
  • Users already comfortable running the gws command-line tool with a configured Google account

Skip it if

  • Anyone who has not set up gws and Google authentication, since the recipe cannot run without them
  • Bulk reorganisation of large Drive libraries without review, because moving files with wrong IDs can put them in unexpected places and the skill gives no undo or dry-run step

Try asking

  • “Create a folder called Q3 Marketing in my Drive with Documents, Images and Reports sub-folders”
  • “Move the files listed in this spreadsheet into the Client Contracts folder”
  • “Set up a project folder structure in Drive and then show me what is inside it”

Get better results

  • Give the agent the exact folder and file names, and ask it to confirm the file IDs before moving anything.
  • Review the verification listing at the end to make sure files landed where you expected.
  • Start with a test folder in a non-critical part of Drive before running it on important content.
