What recipe-email-drive-link does

The skill is a three-step recipe. It looks up a file by name with gws drive files list, grants reader access to a specific email address, then sends the link through gws gmail +send.

What's inside: the gws commands in order, plus a note that two skills must be loaded first — gws-drive and gws-gmail. The gws binary itself has to be on your machine.

Worth installing if you already drive Google Workspace from the terminal and want the agent to handle the handoff. If you don't use gws, or you share files through the web UI, skip it.

What it helps with

  • find a Drive file by name
  • grant document access to one person
  • send an email with the file link
  • deliver a report to a client without touching the browser

Example prompts for the agent

  • find the Quarterly Report file on Drive and share it with [email protected]
  • share the document with the client and email them the link
  • grant reader access to the report and message the recipient
