  • SKILL.md covers When to Use This Skill, What This Skill Does, How to Use and Example, plus 2 more sections

What it does

Google Drive Upload is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. Upload files directly to Google Drive via a deployed Google Apps Script web app. Trigger on: upload to Drive, save to Drive, send to Drive, put this in Drive. Also Hebrew: "תעלה לדרייב", "שמור בדרייב", "העלה לגוגל דרייב". Use proactively when a workflow produces a file the user might want in Drive.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Google Drive. The repository describes itself as: A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : upload to Drive
  • Put this in Drive

Example prompts

  • “/google-drive-upload”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Reads the user's config file (~/.cowork-gdrive-config.json)
  2. Base64-encodes the target file
  3. POSTs it to the deployed Google Apps Script
  4. Returns the Google Drive file URL

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 616deb5. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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):

    • drive.google.com
    • github.com
    • msapps.mobi

    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

Google Drive Upload loads about 568 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 242 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~568

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.

Google Drive Upload

Upload files directly from Claude to Google Drive using a simple Google Apps Script.

When to Use This Skill

  • User asks to upload, save, or send a file to Google Drive
  • A workflow produces a file the user might want stored in Drive
  • User mentions Drive in any language (English or Hebrew)

What This Skill Does

  1. Reads the user's config file (~/.cowork-gdrive-config.json)
  2. Base64-encodes the target file
  3. POSTs it to the deployed Google Apps Script
  4. Returns the Google Drive file URL

How to Use

Prerequisites (One-Time Setup)
  1. Deploy the included Google Apps Script as a web app
  2. Create ~/.cowork-gdrive-config.json with your script URL and API key
Basic Usage

Ask Claude naturally:

  • "Upload this report to Google Drive"
  • "Save the presentation in Clients/Acme on Drive"
  • "תעלה את זה לדרייב"
Upload Workflow

```bash

Read config

cat "$HOME/.cowork-gdrive-config.json"

Encode and upload

FILE="/path/to/file" B64=$(base64 "$FILE" | tr -d '\n') MIME=$(file --mime-type -b "$FILE")

curl -s -L -H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '{"fileName":"name","content":"'$B64'","mimeType":"'$MIME'","apiKey":"KEY"}'
"SCRIPT_URL" ```

Example

User: "Upload this report to Google Drive"

Output: Claude encodes the file, uploads it via the Apps Script, and returns: "Uploaded successfully! Here's your file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/abc123/view"

Tips

  • Use folderPath to organize files into folders (e.g., "Clients/Acme")
  • Add "replaceExisting": true to overwrite instead of duplicating
  • Hebrew filenames are fully supported
  • Max file size is ~50MB (Google Apps Script limit)
