What gws-workflow-file-announce does

The skill fetches the file name from Google Drive and uses it in an announcement to the selected Google Chat space. Pass --message to supply custom announcement text.

It requires gws and the shared auth and flags instructions in ../gws-shared/SKILL.md. If that file is missing, run gws generate-skills. This is a write command: it sends a Chat message. Upload the file first with gws drive +upload.

Install it when you want an agent to announce Drive files in Chat. Skip it if you plan to send those messages manually.

What it helps with

  • announce a Drive file in a Google Chat space
  • share an uploaded file in chat
  • add custom text to a file announcement

Example prompts for the agent

  • Announce Drive file FILE_ID in spaces/ABC123.
  • Post an announcement for FILE_ID in spaces/ABC123 with the message 'Please check this file'.
  • Upload the file with gws drive +upload, then announce it in Google Chat.
