AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

This skill provides a structured procedure for managing Google Drive folder access. It enables users to programmatically share folders and their contents with multiple collaborators by assigning specific roles such as editor or viewer, and includes a verification step to ensure permissions are correctly applied.

What it does

  • Locates a specific Google Drive folder by name.
  • Grants edit access to designated team members.
  • Grants view-only access to designated stakeholders.
  • Lists current permissions for a folder to verify access levels.

When to use it

  • When onboarding new team members to a project folder.
  • When setting up access for external stakeholders on shared documentation.
  • When you need to standardize folder sharing across multiple projects.

Advantages

  • Reduces manual effort in managing folder permissions.
  • Ensures consistent access control across team projects.
  • Provides a clear audit trail of folder permissions.

Usage examples

“Share the Project X folder with my team as editors and stakeholders as viewers.”
The agent identifies the folder ID for Project X and applies the specified writer and reader permissions to the respective email addresses.
