Example prompts

“/gdcli”

Requirements

Node.js

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Create a new project (or select existing)
Enable the Google Drive API
Set app name in OAuth branding
Add test users (all Gmail addresses you want to use)
Create OAuth client

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 90bb51c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- npm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- console.cloud.google.com
- developers.google.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Gdcli loads about 759 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 250 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~759

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

If not, walk them through the Google Cloud Console steps above
Have them download the OAuth credentials JSON
Run: gdcli accounts credentials ~/path/to/credentials.json
Run: gdcli accounts add <email> (use --manual for browserless OAuth)

Usage

Run gdcli --help for full command reference.

Common operations:

gdcli <email> ls [folderId] - List files/folders
gdcli <email> ls --query "<query>" - List with Drive query filter
gdcli <email> search "<text>" - Full-text content search
gdcli <email> download <fileId> [destPath] - Download a file
gdcli <email> upload <localPath> [--folder <folderId>] - Upload a file
gdcli <email> mkdir <name> - Create a folder
gdcli <email> share <fileId> --anyone - Share publicly

Search

Two different commands:

search "<text>" - Searches inside file contents (fullText)
ls --query "<query>" - Filters by metadata (name, type, date, etc.)

Use ls --query for filename searches!

Query Syntax (for ls --query)

Format: field operator value. Combine with and/or, group with ().

Operators: =, !=, contains, <, >, <=, >=

Examples:

bash

# By filename
ls --query "name = 'report.pdf'"           # exact match
ls --query "name contains 'IMG'"           # prefix match

# By type
ls --query "mimeType = 'application/pdf'"
ls --query "mimeType contains 'image/'"
ls --query "mimeType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder'"  # folders

# By date
ls --query "modifiedTime > '2024-01-01'"

# By owner/sharing
ls --query "'me' in owners"
ls --query "sharedWithMe"

# Exclude trash
