What it does

This skill gives an AI agent a step-by-step recipe for sharing Google Drive files with the people invited to a Google Calendar meeting. The agent looks up the event's attendee list, grants each person read-only (viewer) access to the chosen file, and then lists the file's permissions so you can confirm the sharing worked. It relies on the gws command-line tool and two other skills, gws-calendar and gws-drive, to do the actual work.

Great for

  • Team leads or organisers who want to send meeting materials to everyone invited to a calendar event
  • Assistants or operations staff who handle recurring meeting document sharing
  • Developers building automated workflows on top of Google Workspace

Skip it if

  • Sharing sensitive or confidential documents with a broad attendee list, since the skill grants access to every attendee automatically and without a confirmation step in the instructions
  • Users without the gws tool installed and authenticated with Google Workspace, because the recipe cannot run without it
  • Attendees who are external to your organisation, if your policy prohibits sharing with outside addresses, since the recipe does not filter by domain

Try asking

  • “Share the Q3 planning deck with everyone invited to the Thursday sync meeting”
  • “Give all attendees of the client kickoff event view access to the proposal folder file”
  • “Check who already has access to the budget spreadsheet after sharing it with the event attendees”

Get better results

  • Confirm the file ID and event ID before running, and review the attendee list from step 1 so you do not share with the wrong people.
  • Start with a single test attendee or a test file to check the output before sharing with a full list.
  • Use the verification step (listing permissions) afterwards to confirm that only the intended people received access.
