Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned googleworkspace/cli at a3768d0e82.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

The gws-workflow-file-announce skill enables Google Workspace AI agents to automatically notify users when specific files are created, updated, or deleted within Drive. It streamlines collaboration by pushing real-time file status changes directly to designated recipients without manual intervention.

When to use it

  • Alerting a project team immediately after a shared document is finalized for review.
  • Notifying stakeholders whenever a critical spreadsheet containing financial data is modified.
  • Announcing the upload of new assets or media files to a creative workflow group.
  • Triggering notifications when a specific folder structure changes in a regulated compliance environment.

Key capabilities

  • Monitors Google Drive for file creation, modification, and deletion events.
  • Sends automated announcements to specified users or groups upon detecting changes.
  • Integrates seamlessly with the Google Workspace CLI infrastructure.
  • Supports real-time workflow synchronization across distributed teams.

Example prompts

  • "Set up an announcement rule to notify the design team whenever a new file is added to the 'Q3 Assets' folder."
  • "Configure gws-workflow-file-announce to alert my manager if any document in the 'Legal Contracts' directory is edited."
  • "Create a workflow that broadcasts a message to all department heads when a shared spreadsheet is updated."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has the necessary Google Workspace API permissions to monitor Drive activity and send notifications. This skill relies on event triggers, so it will only announce changes after they occur rather than predicting future edits.
