Gws Drive Upload

Google Drive: Upload a file with automatic metadata.

Security Scan

The skill's requirements and instructions are consistent with a Google Drive upload helper, but it relies on an external 'gws-shared' SKILL.md for auth/global flags (not present), so you should verify that shared config and the gws CLI before using.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (upload to Google Drive) match the declared requirement: the gws CLI binary is the only required tool and is a reasonable dependency for a Drive upload helper.

Instruction Scope

The SKILL.md instructs the agent to read ../gws-shared/SKILL.md for auth, global flags, and security rules (and to run `gws generate-skills` if missing). That means the agent may attempt to read files outside this skill and invoke the gws CLI to create or modify config — behavior related to auth is expected, but the referenced shared file is not included here, which increases uncertainty about exactly what will be read/changed at runtime.

Install Mechanism

Instruction-only skill (no install spec, no code files). This is low risk in terms of writing arbitrary code to disk; runtime risk comes from calling the external gws binary.

Credentials

No environment variables or credentials are declared by this skill. In practice the gws CLI likely uses local config/credentials (OAuth tokens, config files). That is proportionate to uploading to Drive, but you should confirm where gws stores credentials and that those credentials are limited to the expected Google account/project.

Persistence & Privilege

Skill is not always-enabled and does not request special platform persistence. It can be invoked by the agent normally; nothing here indicates it modifies other skills or system-wide settings beyond using gws.

Assessment

This skill appears to be a simple wrapper that runs the gws CLI to upload files to Google Drive — that is coherent. Before installing or invoking it: (1) verify you trust the gws binary on your PATH and know how it stores credentials (OAuth tokens/config files); (2) locate and review the referenced ../gws-shared/SKILL.md (or inspect what `gws generate-skills` would create) so you know what auth/global flags the agent will use; (3) be aware this runs a write operation to your Drive — confirm with the user and review file contents/target folder/parent ID before uploading; (4) if you need stronger guarantees, run the command manually first or inspect gws config files to ensure minimal privileges. The missing shared SKILL.md is the main uncertainty — if you can provide it, confidence in this assessment would increase.

drive +upload

PREREQUISITE: Read ../gws-shared/SKILL.md for auth, global flags, and security rules. If missing, run gws generate-skills to create it.

Upload a file with automatic metadata

Usage

gws drive +upload <file>

Flags

Flag	Required	Default	Description
<file>	✓	—	Path to file to upload
--parent	—	—	Parent folder ID
--name	—	—	Target filename (defaults to source filename)

Examples

gws drive +upload ./report.pdf
gws drive +upload ./report.pdf --parent FOLDER_ID
gws drive +upload ./data.csv --name 'Sales Data.csv'

Tips

• MIME type is detected automatically.
• Filename is inferred from the local path unless --name is given.

[!CAUTION] This is a write command — confirm with the user before executing.
