What recipe-create-shared-drive does

The skill walks an agent through three steps: create the drive, add a member with a role, list the current members. Everything runs through gws drive, with supportsAllDrives in the params and a JSON body carrying role, type and email address. Name the drive and the people, and the agent fills the rest.

What's inside is the instruction and the command sequence. You need the gws binary on PATH and the gws-drive skill loaded first — the recipe declares it as a prerequisite. Install is one line of npx skills add, landing at ~/.claude/skills/recipe-create-shared-drive/SKILL.md.

Worth installing if you spin up drives for projects and teams often and are tired of clicking through the UI. For a one-off drive, doing it by hand is faster.

What it helps with

  • create a shared drive for a new project
  • grant a member the writer role in one command
  • check who already has access to a drive
  • repeat the same access setup across several drives
  • hand the permissions routine to an agent

Example prompts for the agent

  • create a shared drive called Project X and add [email protected] as writer
  • list the members of drive DRIVE_ID
  • set up a drive for the team and show me each person's role
