Google Drive Delete File

Atomic node skill to delete a file in Google Drive using the gog CLI.

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only wrapper that tells the agent to run the gog CLI to move a Google Drive file to trash; its requirements and instructions are proportionate to that purpose.

Purpose & Capability

Name and description match the declared requirement of the gog binary and the SKILL.md instructs exactly to run 'gog drive delete <fileId>'; the requested binary is appropriate for the stated task.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md only instructs running a single gog command to delete/move a file to trash. It does not instruct reading unrelated files, environment variables, or exfiltrating data.

Install Mechanism

No install spec is present (instruction-only), so nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself — lowest-risk installation footprint.

Credentials

The skill declares no env vars or credentials. That is consistent but implicit: it relies on an already-installed, already-authenticated gog CLI. The SKILL.md does not mention the need for the gog CLI to be configured with Google account credentials or where those credentials live, which is a usability/security note rather than a mismatch.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent modification of agent/system configs. Note: model invocation is allowed (default), so an agent could call this skill autonomously if permitted by agent policies.

Assessment

This skill simply instructs the agent to run 'gog drive delete <fileId>' using the gog CLI. Before installing, ensure: (1) you trust the gog binary on the system and that it’s installed and authenticated to the correct Google account; the skill does not supply or request credentials itself, it uses whatever account gog is already signed into; (2) you understand the consequences of deleting Drive files (it moves to trash and may be permanently deleted depending on gog/Drive behavior and retention settings); and (3) if you allow autonomous agent invocation, consider whether you want an agent to be able to delete files without explicit user confirmation. If you need stricter controls, restrict this skill from autonomous use or require confirmation prompts in agent policies.

Lean Philosophy (Principles)

• Kaizen (改善): This skill is an atomic node, broken down into its simplest, smallest component to eliminate waste and ensure perfection.
• Standardized Work (Hyojun Sagyo): This node represents the most efficient, standardized path for this specific task before automation.
• Jidoka (自働化): This node includes autonomous defect detection. It relies on the CLI's self-healing loop and will report errors if the deletion fails.

This skill allows the agent to move a file to trash in Google Drive using the native CLI.

Cognitive Directives

WHEN [A file needs to be removed or moved to trash in Google Drive] THEN [Execute the native terminal command gog drive delete <fileId>]

Schema Example

{
  "command": "gog drive delete file_id_123"
}

Expected Output

Confirmation that the file was moved to the trash.
